The creation of Kashekim was said to have been one of the most difficult from start to finish. Fine-tuning the character's personality became a task unto itself, with some early designs having him as much more of an iron-fisted ruler than he came out to be. Much of his firm beliefs have remained in place, but others were fleshed out as production progress. The change in the opening prologue also opened for an opportunity to further explore his character, allowing for audiences to see how he has come to be the character that he is later on and to better understand his actions. |

+ | The supervising animator of Kashekim was character designer [[Michael Cedeno]] and Head of Cleanup Marhsall Toomey was the lead key cleanup on the character. In terms of animating the character, Cedeno had to illustrate a character who struggled so much just to speak one word. Additionally, both Cedeno and Toomey found a great deal of difficulty in making sure Kashekim's facial tattoos were uniform and consistent throughout. This has often led to the decree that lasted for a long while of never again having a character with tattoos in a Disney animated feature. |
[[Leonard Nimoy]] provided the voice for Kashekim. Cedeno noted how he was often left in awe of how Nimoy would provide rich character just through his voice, being able to project a moldy and dusty quality in performing the character. Nimoy previously worked with linguist Marc Okrand, who developed the [[Atlantean Language]], on the ''Star Trek'' films and hosted a documentary television series called ''In Search of...'' with one of the first episodes based upon the subject of Atlantis. |
