Murad IV - The Cruel Warrior Pack

Murad IV, a huge and physically dominating man, is often called the "last great Sultan of the Ottoman Empire". Brought to power by a court conspiracy, in the early years of his reign he was little more than a mouthpiece for his mother, Kösem Sultan. However, in the face of growing anarchy, Murad IV asserted his authority, brutally and effectively reining his kingdom back into line. He had most of the ruling officials executed, including his brothers, slashed wasteful spending, and banned tobacco and alcohol. At night, he would patrol the streets in plain clothes, personally killing any who broke the ban. Militarily, he achieved the last great feat of Ottoman arms, capturing Baghdad in 1638. He died, aged 27, from cirrhosis of the liver.

Use Murad IV, cruel and unwavering, to fix your eyes on victory and let none bar your path towards utter dominance in the Anachronism arena.
