## Bio

Enslaved in Kufa sometime in the early eighth century, he was freed by Shi'ite activists tied to the Abbasid family, who saw his abilities and gave him a war name. In 747 he opened the revolt in Khorasan, took Merv, and led Abbasid forces west across Iran and into the Levant until Umayyad authority collapsed and a new caliphate rose in its place. As governor of Khorasan he became one of the most powerful figures in the early Abbasid state. That power made him a problem. The second caliph, al-Mansur, had him executed in 755 on a likely false charge of crypto-Zoroastrianism. His death set off unrest across Greater Iran, where for centuries afterward he was venerated as a martyr and quasi-religious figure.
