	At the height of his influence, he was reputed to control the most extensive underground trading network in the [[Levant]], with the power to procure any item requested by his clients at exorbitant prices. He rose to prominence from the status of a lowly caravan merchant, managing to win the favor of the Sultan of [[Egypt]] and {{Wiki\|Syria}}, [[Saladin]], himself, but his operations were rife with abuse and terror. The merchant guild of Damascus was loyal to him, but only out of fear, for he frequently resorted to threats and public executions to pressure his employees into meeting his demands.

	A notorious black market merchant, Tamir rose from obscurity as a minor supplier for the [[Saracens\|Saracen]] army to become the owner of the largest trading center in Damascus, the Souk Al-Silaah.

	According to the propaganda of a [[heralds\|herald]], the merchant originally dealt in fruits and vegetables, making regular rounds between Damascus and [[Jerusalem]]. In the time leading up to the [[Battle of Hattin]] in 1187, however, demand for food produce had diminished in the region. Faced with a surplus of food, Tamir drove his caravan north in hopes of finding customers before his supplies rot. Much to his fortune, he chanced upon the famished army of [[Saladin]], the Sultan of Egypt and Syria, then preparing for a major confrontation against the [[Crusaders]]. Reinvigorated by Tamir's abundant supply of food, the Saracen army went on to deal a critical victory at the Battle of Hattin.
