[1] Talal's succession to the paramount Sheikhdom of the Bani Sakher was likely an easy and well accepted transition as his brother and predecessor, Sattam bin Fendi's sons, were still too young and inexperienced by this point to be considered for the role.

[2][3] Talal was also backed by the Ottomans for the role and would enjoy great support from 1891 onwards until 1906.

The Ottoman's were successful in the reconciliation, and Talal would go back to his tribe with the title of Pasha and the highest rank a member of the family got from the Ottomans which is Beylerbey (Lord of Lords or High Prince), similar in prestige to his father, Fendi bin Abbas's title as king.

[8] However, when the railway was completed in 1908, the Ottomans withheld the promised subsidies and payments, they also stopped paying his own salary as a Pasha and a Beylerbey.

[4] On his way back from Damascus, Talal, was reportedly poisoned by the Ottomans and couldn't complete the journey to his lands.
