An ethnic Arab with a considerable amount of knowledge of "beans". As Spike is searching for answers regarding Vincent Volaju and the virus outbreak, he comes to Rasheed who seems to know a lot about beans and shares his knowledge with Spike at a bean shop. Spike makes it clear that his only interest is in the terrorist attack by Vincent and his method. Spike then follows Rasheed to a remote store and gives him a vase that is "perfect for him". He then disappears, leaving a slightly confused Spike. (Source: Cowboy Bebop Wikia, edited)
