## Bio

Born in 1145, Al-Adil was Saladin's younger brother and the organizational spine of the Ayyubid project. While Saladin campaigned, Al-Adil handled logistics, governance, and the dismantling of the Fatimid Caliphate's rotten infrastructure in Cairo—transforming it into the base of a new sultanate. The Crusaders knew him as Saphadin, a garbled version of his title "Sword of the Faith." He proved himself a capable general and strategist beyond mere administration. After Saladin's death, Al-Adil maneuvered through succession struggles to claim the throne himself, becoming the fourth sultan and ruling Egypt and Syria until his death on 31 August 1218.
