Mustafa

"I'm still alive. Only, I'm very badly burned." -Mustafa

Mustafa (Will Ferrell) is a Turkish or Egyptian henchman of Dr. Evil, appearing in the first and second movies. He is apparently Doctor Evil's weapons designer as he took credit for constucting the cryogenic chamber and the trap fire pit. Due to a quirk in his character he cannot resist giving an answer to a question he is asked three times in a row. Recognizable by his red fez. Extremely difficult if not impossible to kill.

Biography

Mustafa knew Austin Powers in the past, however Austin can only identify him by his fez. Because of the latter films' use of time travel, he has the distinction of dying twice. Chronologically, he is killed first in the 1960s by Mini-Me. He attacks Austin and Felicity, he is subdued and held at gunpoint for information. It is at this point we learn that he is emotionally compelled to answer a question after it is asked three times. However, when it appears he will co-operate, Felicity lets go of his neck, a fatal mistake. He is then shot with a dart by Mini-Me (disguised as a baby) and falls from the cliff. Austin and Felicity have not learned enough information to make a difference. He calls for help, crying that both of his legs are broken.

In the first film, which was his first appearence but second chronological death, Mustafa is sent toppling into a pit of fire by Dr. Evil after his unfreezing process caused Mr. Bigglesworth to lose all of his hair. He survives this, and an unknown henchmen enters the room and kills him by shooting him twice (the first proving ineffective).

In both incarnations, he falls a great height in a seemingly fatal way, only to survive, call for help, and die off-screen.
