Nowzar

Nowzar, Nouzar, Nowzer, Novzar or Nōzar (/ˈnoʊˈzær/); (Persian: نُوذَر) Persian pronunciation: [ˈnoːˈzæɾ]; is the ninth Shah of the Pishdadian dynasty of Persia according to Shahnameh.

Many future warriors traced back their origin to him and were labeled Nowzarian (نوذریان).

[1][2] Nowzar took the throne and quickly became a weak and greedy king who overtaxed his subjects.

[1][2] After rejecting a rebellion that offered to make him king, Sām reminded Nowzar of the counsel his father gave him and Nowzar promised to be a righteous and just king from then on.

[1][2] Nowzar led an army against the invaders, but he was captured and killed by Abrasiab.
