Karim was a Saracen and a member of the Black Knights. He took the role of the "prince" in the parlay with King Richard, though really it was all a plot in which he was supposed to kill the King. He was foiled when Robin Hood intervened, taking Richard's place in the parlay and fighting Karim, who lost and fled the scene. When he attempted to kill Robin from behind, King Richard himself chucked his sword at Karim, killing him.
