Hashem served as Umayyad Caliph during a period of political turbulence in Spain. He restored Abderame to command at the wishes of the soldiers and people, reasserting central authority over a fractious province.

Description

Hashem appears as a middle-aged man of olive complexion and dark beard, his build average and his presence marked by the quiet authority of a caliph. He wears traditional caliphal robes and turban.
