Nadir ibn Havid (died 860s), also known as Al-A'eshma (English: The Angel of Wrath), was an admiral in the Abbasid Caliphate who served as a commander of the Turkic Army in Baghdad in the 9th century. A member of the Order of the Ancients alongside Jasoor ibn Basil, he served under the Caliphate's warlord Wasif Al Turki while building warships for the caliphate by the harbor in the Karkh district.[1]
Biography
In the mid-9th century, Nadir was recruited into the Order of the Ancients and served under warlord of the Turkic Army and Order leader, Wasif Al Turki. His role was to create warships for the calipgate while moving equipment and materials for the Order within his supplies.[2] However, Nadir began stealing from the Order for his personal gain but his thievery was noticed by Wasif, who demanded a final account of their wares when he returned.[3]
Along with Jasoor, they later met and waited at the Officers' Club for Arab captain Dogan bin Arslan and his report on the Zanj Rebellion and the new stranger in their midst. While discussing their current events, they were later informed of Dogan's demise and subsequently left in fear of their lives and the probable intrusion of their meeting.[1]
Death
At an outpost west of the city, Nadir oversaw the security and production of his ship prototype. While having given the order to have no flames come near his ship, it was all for naught once his ship caught ablaze. With his guard sporadic, he went to inspect and find out who attacked his work. Out in the open, Nadir became the target and was assassinated by Alamut Hidden One Basim. Upon Nadir's personal effects, Basim found the letter from Al-Mardikhwar accusing Nadir of theft before leaving the camp.[3]
Behind the scenes
Nadir's cryptonym of Al-A'eshma is a reference to a daeva from Persian mythology named Aeshma who represents wrath and served as a messenger for Zoroastrianism's central destructive spirit Ahriman.[4]
