There are three Shakespearean characters who are African and are called Moors. Some if not all of them were intended to be North African types, not sub-saharan. They are: Aaron in Titus Andronicus who is a villain of the melodrama type, The Prince of Morocco in The Merchant of Venice who is somewhat comic, and Othello in Othello who is a tragic hero.
