Jarrah al Din

Jarrah al Din was the king of Taneth from 4E 203 -5E 2.

Background
Jarrah was born in 4E 189 to the third son of Qasim al Din's third son, the main line of the dynasty just managing to survive by happenstance, as Jarrah's parents had not been in Hammerfell at the time.

Jarrah al Din began his reign in exile, as a puppet regime had been set up in Taneth by the Aldmeri Dominion before their withdrawal. He grew up relatively ignorant of his greater role in the politics of Hammerfell, as his parents attempted to shelter him from it.

He proved a quick study at the Way of the Sword and possessed an innate talent for strategy.

When his father was assassinated by the Dominion in 4E 203, supporters rallied to Jarrah, who used the momentum to reclaim his kingdom.

He ruled for an unprecedentedly long amount of time, nearly a hundred years. How much he actually ruled from the last fifteen years of that reign is in question, as he died feeble and blind.

Jarrah was known for his ruthlessness when dealing with his enemies, as well as his temper. He was know as a man of great strength and extraordinary height, and had ugly, hooked features that had a tendency to intimidate those in his presence. Jarrah was a virulent racist against elves and had the Altmer expelled from Hammerfell.
