[han-shahanshah]

Also no.

[JECE]

Filipino, North African, Singaporean, Bornean, Sumatran, Cypriot, Formosan, Hawaiian, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Haitian, South American or Central American?

[han-shahanshah]

I shall assume you’re asking whether he was born in any of these regions. A broad definition of one of those terms could potentially encompass his birthplace, but following the UN’s definition my answer is no.

[Hanging Rook]

Born on the African plate?

[han-shahanshah]

Some scholars might say he was born east of the rift, but it seems the consensus is that he was born on the African plate, yes.

[JECE]

Ethiopian, Abyssinian, Eritrean, Axumite or the like?

[han-shahanshah]

Probably not. As said, a few people do believe that.

[Hanging Rook]

Muslim?

[Jamiet99uk]

So it's someone with a military background, born in a part of Central Africa north of the equator, who died before 1900. That narrows it down quite a lot.

[Foxcastle]

Alive at any point between 1500 and 1750?

[han-shahanshah]

Not Muslim.

Alive at any point between 1500 and 1750?

[han-shahanshah]

None of those. Half of them don’t satisfy the answers.

[Hanging Rook]
