“Elli needs killing with a double-edged knife, for she left her husband and took up with a count”. Stavrakas comes from the Cyclades island of Syros, but he is associated with the Piraeus harbor, whose taverns he frequents. Coward and boaster, a tough character from the underworld, he makes up stories about his deeds, but he always hides away when there is a fight. Solomon is a Jewish merchant from Thessaloniki. Rich, powerful, clever and respectable, he speaks an admixture of Jewish – Spanish and Greek expressions, and enters the stage singing a song that does not make sense in any language. He is often involved in Karagiozis’ deeds. Pasha is the highest member of the Turkish ruling class presented in the performance. Severe and imposing, dressed in expensive clothes, he represents wealth and power, authority and stability. Entering the stage from the serai, he never sings. Usually, he is not seen, he is only heard giving orders to his assistants, bey and Veligekas. Bey is a wealthy dignitary who takes orders from Pasha. He usually appears in the first scene of the play, and initiates the action by his effort to find someone who will provide a service or fill a position, according to the order given by Pasha. He often falls for Karagiozis’ tricks. 29
“I am number one Vergenangas, number one guy”. Veligekas or Vergenangas is the Albanian mercenary first officer of the serai, who enforces pasha’s rule. Arbitrary, violent, cruel and uncivilized, he intimidates Karagiozis and the other Greeks of the plays. Usually, at the end of the play he is beaten by Barba Giorgos. Veziropoula is Pasha’s daughter. She is a young girl, who respects and obeys her father, but sometimes, she manages to impose her own wishes. 30
