Fan Casting Al-Muzaffar Taqi al-Din Umar in Robin Hood and the House of Plantagenet (TV-Series)

Saladin’s fiercely loyal nephew and one of his most aggressive field commanders. As the Lord of Hama, he serves as a primary military pillar of the Ayyubid cause, frequently harassing Richard’s forces with relentless tactical maneuvers. Unlike his more diplomatic uncle Al-Adil, Taqi al-Din harbors a deep distrust of negotiations, consistently pushing for a total military resolution to the Crusade. He is the fiery heart of the Ayyubid elite, a warrior whose uncompromising presence on the battlefield cements the army's resolve while he works to secure the prominence of his own line within the house of Ayyub.
