# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 567 CE, Ammar converted early through Abu Bakr's invitation and became one of the muhajirun who migrated to Medina, where he helped build the Prophet's Mosque and rode out to most of the early expeditions. His parents, Sumayya and Yasir ibn Amir, had already been killed as the first martyrs of the young Muslim community. He fought in the Ridda wars under Caliph Abu Bakr, commanded forces in the conquest of Iran under Umar, and served as governor of Kufa. After Uthman's assassination in 656, Ammar became a fierce partisan of Caliph Ali. He died in July 657 at the Battle of Siffin, fighting for Ali against a rival Muslim army—nearly ninety years old, ending where the faith's fractures began.
