Background and Personality
Sinbad’s story is one of transformation from an impoverished, idealistic boy to a powerful and morally ambiguous king. Born in the Parthevia Empire, Sinbad rose from hardship, conquering seven dungeons and amassing unparalleled power. As the founder of Sindria, a peaceful island kingdom, he became a symbol of hope and unity. However, his ambition and worldview often lead him to manipulate others, believing in his own righteousness to shape the world as he sees fit.
Sinbad’s charisma and charm make him a beloved leader, while his cunning and pragmatism allow him to navigate complex political landscapes. However, his willingness to use others for his goals highlights a darker, more calculating side of his personality.
Exuding regal authority and charm, Sinbad sits confidently on his throne, embodying the charisma and power of a king who has conquered both seas and hearts.

- Magoi Manipulation:Sinbad’s exceptional Magoi reserves allow him to use his Djinn equips efficiently and in rapid succession.

- Morgiana:Sinbad recognizes Morgiana’s strength and values her as part of Alibaba’s household, but his interactions with her are limited compared to the others.
