| ~ Ugo asking Aladdin for his wish. |
Uraltugo Noi Nueph, or simply known as Ugo, is a major supporting protagonist in the manga/anime series, Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. He is the first thought-to-be Djinn of Aladdin and has been a friend of his for a very long time.
In truth, he is a former Magi from the world known as Alma Torran, where he served his closet companion and king, Solomon Jehoahaz Abraham, along with his queen, Sheba. He was also one of the wielders of the 72 Divine Staves. Upon the destruction of his world and the deaths of his king and queen, his final task was to create a new world and raise Aladdin.
This led to the creation of the Magi system where Ugo assigned the Djinns to guard the Metal Vessels in underground cities known as Dungeons. Ugo himself then became a Djinn himself and the Guardian of Sacred Palace, where he would watch over the countless worlds around him.
He was voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa in the Japanese version, and by Patrick Seitz in the English version.
Personality[]
Ugo is a stalwart supporter of Aladdin, calling him Emperor and will do anything to protect him. In his battle against Judal, when Aladdin was injured, Ugo became angry and went on a rampage and completely crushed Judal. He is also very shy of women and would faint if a woman touches him.
Biography[]
During his time at Alma Torran, he was considered cowardly by Ithnan, when the latter commented on him hiding behind his back during a raid for a Divine Staff. Despite his high intelligence, Falan and Ithnan seem to find his talk of magical theories and mathematics unbearable, earning him the name "Science/Magic Otaku" from the two. His shyness toward women may have come from the fact he wasn't able to get a girlfriend throughout his life in Alma Torran due to his continuous talk of theories, as said by Falan. As years passed, it is harder to him to talk to girls he is not familiar with. Despite all this, Ugo is upbeat and ready to contribute in Solomon's cause.
Ugo used to live in Alma Torran and was one of King Solomon's Three Wise Magi. Before that, he was part of Solomon's resistance that sought to overthrow the orthodox government. Later, after Solomon's replacement of being the god, he was chosen to be one of his Three Wise Magi along with Arba and Sheba.
When tension built up between Sheba and the magicians, he was the only one who stayed neutral to both sides. Though, Arba later formed Al-Thamen and a war broke out, and Sheba was killed. Before Sheba's soul returned to Rukh, she entrusted her child, Aladdin, to him. The war ended with Solomon sealed Al-Thamen to a different space and his last word to Ugo was to create the world anew.
He was also the one who created the Magi system of the new world and ordered the Djinns to be guardian deities for the metal vessels for their king vessels. Afterwards, he himself became a Djinn and the guardian of the Sacred Palace to continue to send out the souls of Magi. 1000 years later, Al-Thamen resurrected and took one of the chosen Magi, Judar, to support their plan. Ugo finally decided to transform Aladdin, who was still in the form of a fetus, to a child, through using the Rukh which belonged to his mother, Sheba.
Ugo was with Aladdin in the "Room of Fortitude" in Sacred Palace. For a long time they were unable to escape. Ugo taught Aladdin everything he knows. Aladdin used one of his wishes to make Ugo his friend. They had good times together until it was time for Aladdin to leave. Ugo went with him, but his head wasn't so lucky.
