Takla Iyasus (Amharic: ተክለ ኢየሱስ) was a general and nobleman in the Ethiopian Empire under Lebna Dengel who served as governor of Angot,Tigre, and the port of Dokono during the Ethiopian-Adal War.
[1] Despite this however Iyasus was rewarded with the fiefdom of Dokono and it's prosperous seaport after the battle due to his high rank in court and personal relationship with Lebna Dengel.
The port had previously belonged to Medri Bahri under the Bahr Negash Za Wengel who was slain during Shimbra Kure.
After the Ethiopian defeat at Antukyah an infuriated Lebna Dengel, sent Iyasus to replace Ras Eslamu's as Commander-in-chief of the army in Fatagar along with reinforcements for Angot and Tigre.
[2] In the ensuing battle was killed and beheaded by a Muslim cavalryman by the name of Adish bin Mahi.
