Akeem Elmalik was the son of the ruler of Al Keshan, a wealthy and prosperous city-state in northeast Africa. During an event never well explained, Dr. Miracle, the Master of Magic (the American John Miracle), a famous mentalist and magician, supposedly saved the life of the young prince, causing him to incur a life debt. This debt led him to become Miracle's partner in adventures. Needless to say, the debt was paid off countless times, but both John and Akeem acted as if nothing had happened, simply because the situation pleased them both (and Akeem did not want to take on the responsibilities of him as Prince and future King of Al Keshan). Akeem traveled to the planet Gormon with Miracle and other adventurers (Flint Baker, Gale Allen and Guy Schwimmer) to free it from the tyranny of Blaga Daru and prevent the villain from conquering Earth. After liberation, back on Earth, Akeem, with the help of the Enchanted Dagger, went in search of the late Guy Schwimmer's successor, the next Jungle Rider.
