Mozenrath is the main antagonist of the Aladdin television series.
He is a powerful sorcerer who wants to rule the world and is a total antithesis/opposite of Aladdin: he is pale, physically frail and wears lavish garments, while Aladdin is tanned, athletic and clad in his beggar's rags. Mozenrath is also malevolent, ambitious and scheming while Aladdin is gentle, selfless and a quick thinker.
He was voiced by the late Jonathan Brandis in most episodes. In the episode "Black Sand", he was voiced by Jeff Bennett, who also voiced Dick Hardly in The Powerpuff Girls, The Huntsman in American Dragon: Jake Long, The Brain-Eating Meteor in The Grimm Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Kundo in Ben 10: Omniverse and Zs'Skayr in Ben 10: Alien Force.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Betrayed his master/stepfather, Destane by stealing his power, turning him into a mamlock and abusing him for fun.
- While Mozenrath suffered the tragedy of having his body's lifeforce and flesh drained by the very Gauntlet he uses, eventually living on borrowed time because of it, it is never sympathized by any other characters outside of his abused servant, Xerxes, and he instead resorts to replacing his body with someone else's anyway, like Aladdin, making it an ignored epiphany and therefore subverts his own tragedy. His "tragedy" doesn't hold up either due to the fact it was inflicted by himself during his quest for power and continued to use it in order to destroy his enemies, despite knowing the negative effect it had on him. If anything, his fate serves as long-term karma for his usurpation of the Land of The Black Sand and his obsession with manipulating with powers that were not his own.
- He treats his minion Xerxes like a punching bag.
- Unleashed a monster into the streets of Agrabah to test Aladdin, not caring if anyone gets hurt or killed.
- It's also implied that he also he saw the people of Agrabah as guinea pigs for his test.
- Tried to mind-control the monstrous "Thirdack" beast into becoming his attack dog, and unleashing it on any kingdom he likes. In addition, he also kidnapped Genie to force Aladdin to get the collar on the beast.
- Once Mozenrath got the Thirdack he knew that the creature couldn't survive without eating magic and didn't care if it was dying.
- Kidnapped Aladdin and used him as a bargaining chip for Genie. Tried to harness Genie's power and attempted to wipe out a rescue party of Agrabah soldiers. He also threatened to kill Aladdin if his demands weren't given. Even if he got what he wanted, he would have betrayed them. When his plan failed, he pulled his minion Xerxes in with him as Jafar did with Iago.
- Used a dangerous magical being called Sirocco (Wind Jackal) to try and decimate multiple kingdoms.
- Leaving Aladdin and his friends to slowly die in the light of a magnified sun.
- Tried to wipe out all of Agrabah and enslave the rest of the kingdoms with a threat to wipe them out as well if they didn't bow to him.
- Traps many people of Agrabah under a substance called "Black Sand" and replaces them with mamlocks.
- When Mozenrath's Black Sand scheme failed, he attempted to kill Aladdin, despite the street-rat trying to save his life.
- Turns a two-bit-crook called Amin Damoola into a mamlock for the rest of his life when he failed to give Mozenrath the Sultan transformed into a golden statue.
- Enslaved dozens of Sprites against their will to dig through the sands of the dessert in search of an artifact without stopping, leading many to nearly dying out of exhaustion.
- Tried to kill all the Sprites when they turned against him and tried to use a sun to burn everyone that doesn't submit to him alive.
- Mozenrath hired the Mukhtar to bring Genie to him and almost succeeded in taking his powers, almost killing him. During the episode, he is also responsible for Iago, Abu, Carpet, Jasmine and Aladdin to be trapped in a medallion the Mukhtar had. While he did pay the Mukhtar, it was later revealed that he was also responsible for almost getting the Mukhtar killed by his own killer plant, making him dishonorable.
- Kidnapped Genie and tried to use him to create the philosopher's stone. But when Genie didn't have enough power, he also turned Genie's girlfriend, Eden, into a living battery and double crossed her. This slowly drains them of their life energy to fuel the Philosopher's stone furnace. When Khartoum doubled crossed him, Mozenrath tried to take back the stone, but he almost lost his life and briefly his magic.
- It was highly likely that Mozenrath was going to double cross Khartoum himself as he only wanted Khartoum's power.
- Tries one last time to hijack Aladdin's body and destroy his spirit to rule the world when he learns that he is slowly dying due to overusing his magic gauntlet. When the plan ended up making Mozenrath's spirit part of Aladdin, Mozenrath simply played along and attempted to betray them to take over Aladdin's body forever.
- Unlike most other villains (like Jafar, despite almost being irredeemable) who have either comedic traits, redeeming qualities or an excuse, Mozenrath has none of these and is played very seriously, despite appearing in 9 episodes.
Trivia[]
- Mozenrath is alongside Mirage and Kileem, one of the three animated Aladdin villains to be pure evil.
- Originally Mozenrath was supposed to return in King of Thieves, where he was going to be revealed as Aladdin’s long lost brother. This was scrapped later on. Had this been kept in, Mozenrath’s status as PE may have been affected depending on how the reveal would've played out.
