There's something grandiose about his presence, the unmistakable bearing of a ruler who sees himself as heir to the great conquerors of antiquity. His manner suggests both the weight of vast territories and the burden of impossible ambitions.

Mohammed, Sultan of Carizme, reigned over territories stretching from the Persian Gulf to the borders of India and Turkestan. His proud imitation of Alexander the Great defined his reign, though when faced with the threat of Zingis Khan, he chose to withdraw from danger and distribute his troops among frontier towns rather than face the conqueror directly.
Description
A proud ruler with the bearing of one who sees himself as a new Alexander, wearing royal garments that reflect both his vast territorial holdings and his classical pretensions. His appearance suggests military authority combined with royal ambition, carrying himself as master of lands from the Persian Gulf to the distant borders of India and Turkestan.
