Yazid ibn al-Makarim

The Beja tribals were beaten out of the Northern portions of the kingdom in the ninth century. The region now ruled by the Banu Kanz house, specifically by High Chieftain Yazid. His father was a friend to the Fatamid Caliphate, but Yazid has been called a militant. It could be that he seeks to fully unite the region of Blemmyia under his rule and be a king in his own right. It is said he looks down on the natives of the land and when captured, he offers them only took choices: a slave collar or the sword.
