He is known as both The Arabian Bull and the Human Gugalanna. He is the son of the Jinn Emperor, he is Mighty Hucules.
Hucules is half-Djinn and half-human, he is the son of the Jinn Emperor, which makes him highly capable and powerful.
Hucules wishes to impress his father, so he has given himself six incredibly difficult toils, and with his massive sun-forged mace in hand, this mace was made by Sa'd; the Djinn of the forge and good fortune. The weapons which Sa'd makes are both; deadly and lucky charms,
Hucules sets out on his labours.

The Hamburg Hydra
The light from Shams, the Djinn of the Sun, was shining down on Hucules' massive body.
Hucules was so mighty that even Ashar, the Djinn of War, lava/magma and simooms, respects him.
Hucules had reached the spot of his first toil, he walked within a town. All the people looked like they were on edge, as if any day would be their last.
" Excuse me " said Hucules, as he walked up to an old man; " Why do all the people seem so afraid? "
" Oh, I envy your heart for not knowing our long fear. A beast, a monster; the Hamburg Hydra. It has terrorized our town for many years; even back when I was but a child. In order for our town to prosper, we had to sacrifice some of our people "
" Well " said Hucules with a smile; " Fear no longer; for I am here "
But hope still did not show on the old man's face.
" Sir, why don't you go back to your family, and rest assured; that I shall deal with the hydra "
The old man did not move.
" You... you do have a family, right? "
" I had a family "
Hucules understood, and he now set out to kill the damn beast.
Hucules was now standing outside the town, he was in an open field and all that stood before him was a large opening to a cave.
Hucules picked up a small rock, and with all his might, he threw the rock straight into the cave.
An echoing roar could now be heard, as the ground shook.
Seconds later, the massive Hamburg Hydra stood before mighty Hucules.
The son of the Jinn Emperor drew forth his sun-forged mace, the small sun inside the mace shone brightly.
" The buffet is officially closed, '' said Hucules, as he smashed one of the hydra's heads off.
The severed head now started to shake and transform.
From the severed head appeared a separate Hamburg Hydra, Hucules was now forcing off against two Hamburg Hydras.
" Oh " said Hucules, surprised; " I did not see that one coming "
Hucules dodged some of the two hydra's attacks, but he did receive some wounds.
" It is time to end this, '' said Hucules.
The small sun inside his mace flared up, and Hucules now roasted both hydras alive, all that remained were their skeletons.
" Try and make another one of yourself now "
Hucules now paused for a moment.
" Did that sound cool? "
" Dude, don't ask me " - MP.

The Thespian Lion
Hucules continued walking.
On the road he was walking; stood a massive boulder. So, having nothing better to do; Hucules removed the boulder and he now saw a village.
Hucules entered the village, but as he was walking around, he noticed the blood on the houses, the wounds and scars on the men and the crying mothers.
A kid ran up to Hucules.
" Hey mister "
" Yes, child? "
" I saw you removing that boulder with ease... you are strong, " said the kid, as he was eyeing the hero.
" I am capable "
" Humble too, you will do " said the kid with a smile.
" I will do? " said Hucules, confused.
" You see all this death and suffering? "
" I do "
" It is because of a damn lion. It comes every once a week, sometimes twice, and just lays waste to us all. Its skin can not be pierced by any of our weapons, at best; we just seem to tickle it "
The kid now took out some money.
" It is not a lot, but it is all I have. Please mister, kill that damn lion for us "
Hucules kneeled down, he closed the kid's hand, he then said;
" Keep your money, your prosperity will be enough "
Hucules had now arrived at the home of the lion.
The beast came out of its cave.
Hucules shot an arrow at the lion, but true enough, the arrow just bounced off its impenetrable skin.
Hucules now put his bow away, he drew forth his mace, and now proceeded to crush the bones of the lion. With no bones, the lion could not move.
Hucules looked down at the helpless creature before him, he opened the lion's mouth, and with his sun-forged mace, he roasted the lion's insides.
The hollow lion skin could now be seen on Hucules' back, for he was using it as a quiver.

The Widower-maker
Hucules was walking within a desert, he then noticed a man holding a baby.
" Sir, if you need water- "
Hucules stopped as he saw that the man was crying.
" What has happened? "
" My wife... she is dead... "
" Who killed her? " said Hucules, sounding all serious.
" It was the widower-maker; Lamashtu "
Within a village, a woman was giving birth, and near the village could Lamashtu be seen.
An arrow flew past the demon, it looked back and saw Hucules.
" You will not make a widower of another "
Lamashtu howled at the hero, the demon now flew towards Hucules.
Hucules grabbed Lamashtu by the shoulders, he then threw the demon to the ground, and with all his might, he broke the demon's neck.
Hucules liked the colours of Lamashtu's wings, so he took them and put them on his own back.
And just like Kratos did with Icarus, Hucules could now fly.

The Sabaean Almaqah
As Hucules was walking towards a town, he couldn't help but noticed that storm clouds had gathered above the town.
The most odd thing was; that the storm clouds could only be seen atop that town.
Hucules was walking through the town, his wings were shielding him from all the rain.
The streets were completely empty, there was no soul in sight, that was till Hucules noticed an old woman sitting by herself.
" Pardon me, but could you tell me for how long these storm clouds have been raging above your town? "
The old woman was quiet for a moment.
" It is because of the Minotaur with the Lightning "
" Minotaur with Lightning? '' said Hucules, confused.
" He lives atop that mountain " said the old woman while pointing; " Thunder can always be heard when he hungers "
Hucules paused for a moment.
" What does he hunger for? "
" Human flesh "
" Tell me; why are you sitting out here in the rain? "
" Because; my grandchild is the next meal of the Minotaur, " said the old woman, as the rain acted as her tears.
Hucules immediately flew towards the mountain, he flew into the cave; where he saw a child holding a torch.
Hucules told the child to get out of the cave, that was when, from the shadows, Almaqah ran into Hucules with its lightning charged horns.
Hucules and Almaqah wrestled for a bit, that was till Hucules grabbed hold of Almaqah and flew straight up towards the storm clouds.
Almaqah was hitting Hucules with several lightning strikes, Hucules ignored all the pain, he then flew straight down towards the ground, with Almaqah's head first.
The horns of the Minotaur fell off, and from that day onward; Hucules could be seen wearing Almaqah's horns as a crown.

The Rock
As Hucules was flying through the sky, a massive bird flew past him.
Hucules noticed that the bird was holding something.
Hucules then heard someone yell;
" My elephant! "
Hucules now realized that the bird was holding an elephant, and the massive bird was in fact; Roc.
Hucules flew in front of Roc's face, he then hit the bird on its beak.
Roc released the elephant, and Hucules immediately caught the animal, and gently put it back down on the ground.
" Oh, thank you very much " said a woman, who was the owner of the elephant.
" It was now trouble, '' said Hucules with a smile.
The woman was quiet for a moment, she then said;
" Let me have your child "
" What?? " uttered Hucules, very confused.
The woman was very beautiful, but all of this was moving WAY too fast for poor Hucules.
" I am honored... but no " said the hero with red cheeks.
" Well. If you ever change your mind, then you know where to find me " said the woman all sexy, as she rode away on her white elephant.

The Steed of the Red One
Hucules had now arrived in the underworld, he was now standing before Al-Muharriq, the Djinn-King of the underworld.
Hucules noticed the red skin, black tattoos and blue eyes of Al-Muharriq.
And Al-Muharriq noticed the various trophies of Hucules.
Hucules had only one thing to say;
" Why do you wield a Man Catcher? "
" So I can catch some men, " said Al-Muharriq with a wink.
Hucules looked over at the Queen/Al-Muharriq's wife.
" He is a little gay " said Oleander, who was the Djinn of Nature.
" A little gay? " said Al-Muharriq, sounding a little insulted; " I am hella gay; for I am hella cheerful! "
Hucules and Oleander both nodded.
" Can I borrow your steed? " said Hucules.
" Only if you can tame him " said Al-Muharriq with a smile; " Besides; my steed is too cool for you "
" You are aware of the fact that your steed is a unicorn? "
" Damn straight " said Al-Muharriq, proudly.
Hucules now walked over to Shadhavar, the steed of Al-Muharriq.
While Shadhavar was not looking, Hucules jumped on its back.
The unicorn was more wild than Bucephalus, but, Hucules was able to tame the steed.
Hucules was now flying back to Mount Petra on Shadhavar, for the unicorn also had wings.
Hucules landed atop the mountain, where he noticed some of the Djinn-Rulers, like; Manāt, the Djinn of the Sea, and Al-'Uzzá, the Djinn of Beauty and Fertility.
Hucules now finally saw him, his father; the Jinn Emperor, who was also known as; the Djinn of Meteor Strikes.
From behind the Emperor could his pet; Dranix(Dragon-Phoenix) be seen.
Upon seeing his son, Huara(Hubal-Dushara)arose from his seat.
" I see that you have many stories to tell, " said the Emperor, as he noticed the many trophies of his son.
" And I am ready to tell them all, father "
From that day onward, Hucules was known as; the Djinn of Toils and Strength.
