After the death of the old sheikh of abd-al-Mamat's tribe, the old sheikh's son was left to rule in his place. Due to his youth, Abd-al-Mamat took the role of his teacher.
The young sheikh bore his father's impulse problems and his desire for decadence. He combined those traits with a hideously cruel mean streak. Abd-al-Mamat's efforts to educate him largely failed due to the boy's pride. Whenever it seemed he would lose an argument, he would remind Abd-al-Mamat of their difference in birth and claim this automatically put him in the right.
After the boy seemingly raped and murdered a young girl, abd-al-Mamat sentenced him to a long, very slow and torturous death.[1] 
The implication is that Abd-al-Mamat used his control of arcane lore to frame the young sheikh for the murder, allowing him to kill the boy and take over.
