Village Elder

The elder of a nomadic Saharan village. He welcomes Jotaro, Polnareff, and Iggy to the village. He gives medicine to the visitors, and tells them about Absalom and Michal 's past. When they depart, he gives them some water and food. He is the only person in his village who is able to speak English, which he learned during the Second World War. When Absalom was a child, the elder attempted to quell his obsession with the civilized world. Although he's not particularly fond of civilization, he acknowledges its positive aspects. For instance, he uses aluminum dishes for their durability and convenience.
