Abu Moslem emerged from humble, possibly foreign origins to become the driving force behind the Abbasid revolution. Known as the Maker of Kings and the Author of the Call of the Abbassides, his intrepid gravity and strategic brilliance helped overthrow the Umayyad dynasty and establish the Abbasid caliphate. His stern demeanor, broken only by rare battlefield smiles, reflected the deadly seriousness of his revolutionary purpose.
Description
Abu Moslem is a middle-aged man whose stern countenance reflects his reputation for intrepid gravity, with features that rarely show emotion except in the excitement of battle. His appearance suggests both his possibly foreign extraction and his role as a revolutionary leader whose very presence commands respect and fear.
