*'''First Visit'''
The Peddler has a more important role story-wise in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' game. During the first visit, he is seen chasing after Aladdin and [[Abu]]. According to Aladdin, Abu stole a lamp from the Peddler. After the lamp's return, [[Iago]] recognizes it as [[Jafar|Jafar's]] lamp, saying he'd never mistake it. Returning to the Peddler's shop, [[Sora]] and friends try to purchase the lamp, but the Peddler's price is "a treasure fit for a sultan". Aladdin knows he can't just go to the palace asking for treasure, so Iago suggests another place: The Cave of Wonders. After traversing the desert, and overcoming the traps inside the cave, the gang returns to the shop with a beautiful gold statue adorned with priceless gems. However, they find the shop empty. Suddenly, they hear two voices outside: The Peddler and Pete. Running outside, Sora and friends find the Peddler being chased by Pete, who attempts to snatch the  
lamp, intending to release Jafar and turn him into a [[Heartless]]. The chase continues into the palace grounds, where Iago joins in by swooping down and scooping up the lamp in his beak, but crashes into a wall.

Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] beam down from the [[Gummi Ship]] into the Peddler's shop. It has changed much now; it is filled to the brim with treasure. Suddenly, Aladdin bursts in, yelling about how the Peddler had let Jafar out of the lamp. When Sora looks back, the Peddler has vanished. He is next seen in front of the palace after Sora and the gang return from Jafar's trap at the desert ruins. They interrogate him, causing him to spill the beans: He had broken into the palace to steal some treasure, when Jafar telepathically called to him, tricking the Peddler into releasing him. Some time later, the Peddler met with a man in a black coat who paid him in treasure to keep quiet about Jafar, claiming he'd get rid of him after Jafar became a Heartless. As the Peddler puts it, "It would have been a successful transaction if I hadn't been seen..."

==Trivia==
* It is interesting to note that in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the storyline of Agrabah is based mainly on ''The Return of Jafar'', although it is not the Peddler who finds and releases Jafar, but a clumsy bandit named Abis Mal who despite his incompetence, eventually becomes one of Aladdin's greatest foes.
*''Kingdom Hearts II'' is the only media in which the Peddler is portrayed in a rather negative light. In the original ''Aladdin'', he serves as the narrator of the film, and only appears again at the climax of ''Aladdin and the King of Thieves'', where he bids farewell to the newly-weds Aladdin and Jasmine. In the first and third films, he is voiced by Robin Williams, as the Peddler was originally planned to be revealed as the Genie himself.

*[[Vexen]]'s [[Absent Silhouette]] can be found in his shop, after it changes appearance.
*The Peddler said that a man in a [[Black Coat]] gave him all of his treasure. Whether it was a member of Organization XIII or Riku who spoke to him is currently unknown.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

The Peddler occasionally shows up inside Aladdin's House, running a shop while hiding from the Heartless that are overrunning the city.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

During Sora, Donald, and Goofy's first visit, the Peddler chases Aladdin and Abu after Abu stole a lamp from the Peddler. After the lamp's return, Iago recognizes it as Jafar's lamp. Returning to the Peddler's shop, Sora and friends try to purchase the lamp, but the Peddler's price is "a treasure fit for a sultan", prompting the party to go the Cave of Wonders to bring back enough treasure to pay the price. When Sora and company return to the Peddler's shop, they find the Peddler being chased by Pete, who attempts to snatch the lamp, intending to release Jafar and turn him into a Heartless. The chase continues into the palace grounds, where Iago joins in by swooping down and scooping up the lamp in his beak, but crashes into a wall. After Sora and friends defeat Volcanic Lord and Blizzard Lord, they purchase the lamp from the Peddler, sealing it away deep inside the palace.

Sometime before Sora's second visit to Agrabah, the Peddler breaks into the palace to steal some treasure and Jafar telepathically calls to him, tricking the Peddler into releasing him. Jafar departs after being freed, leaving the Peddler empty-handed. Peddler then meets a man in a black coat, who gives the Peddler with treasure to keep quiet about Jafar, claiming he had get rid of him after Jafar became a Heartless.[1]

When Sora and company beam down from the Gummi Ship into the Peddler's shop, which is now filled with treasure. Aladdin bursts in and reveals how the Peddler had let Jafar out of the lamp, prompting the Peddler to run. Sora and his friends later find the Peddler in front of the palace. Peddler admits that he had broken into the palace to steal some treasure and released Jafar in exchange for treasure, as well as his encounter with the man in the black coat, who paid him for his silence about Jafar's return.

Sora can visit the Peddler again in his shop, where he provides a skateboard for Sora to play the SB Sand Slider mini-game.

Vexen's Absent Silhouette can be found in his shop at this point.

Kingdom Hearts coded[edit]

He is the first Data-Agrabah resident the Data-Sora interacts with, and introduces him to a Gravity-based Debug Ability. After Data-Sora fixes Data-Agrabah, he wants a Guard Brace++, for which he will trade Sora a Sardonyx Ring+.

Design[edit]

The Peddler is a very small man with tanned skin, a thin, black goatee, and a rectangular mustache with a triangular gap at his philtum. His clothing is quite simple, consisting of a sky blue robe that reaches the floor, a faded red sash tied around his waist, and brown sandals. The most noticeable aspect of the Peddler's outfit is his ridiculously large, white turban, which is twice as big around as his own head.

Personality[edit]

Not much is known about the Peddler, save for his unyielding thirst for wealth. The Peddler is also a very good haggler, as he refuses to give the party Jafar's lamp unless they bring him "a treasure fit for a sultan."

Origin[edit]

The Peddler first appeared in the Disney film Aladdin, voiced by the late Robin Williams with Bruce Adler as his singing voice. In the film's opening, he attempts to sell the viewer various pieces of junk before pulling out the magic lamp. To convince the viewer that the lamp is really magical, he tells them a story of its abilities, which is the story of Aladdin.

At one point in the production of Aladdin, the Peddler was going to both open and close the movie, and, at the end, reveal himself to be the Genie in disguise. This was dropped for the final film, although he does close the third film, Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

The Peddler's role in Kingdom Hearts II is borrowed from that of "Abis Mal", a clumsy bandit who finds and releases Jafar in The Return of Jafar, eventually becoming one of Aladdin's greatest foes.
