Character

Nicknamed the "Devil of the Desert",[1][2] the character leads a desert cult and a secret society against French authorities, with a meeting point called Devil's Circle.[3][4] He remains a shadowy figure, hiding his face and his true identity, as a result of which many people are mistakenly suspected of being El Shaitan. Other characters impersonate him for their own ends.

Production

Portrayed by Robert Frazer,[5] El Shaitan is voiced by Wilfred Lucas (uncredited),[citation needed] with stunts by Yakima Canutt.[6]
