Yagiz Barbarossa, (-864, -810) was a fire keeper in Nippur.
Yagiz believed in Folk religion.
He lived a life of poverty. He was able to eat and sleep under a shelter, but ended with having no possession at all. He belonged to the low caste of the society, and had some friends among the servants, beggars and workers. He had a low knowledge of life, summing up to some technical tricks and tales from Nippur. He was weak, and fell ill all the time. In the life, he was able to take a few important life-changing decisions.
Yagiz, 41 years old, fire keeper, became the new leader of a new branch of the family.
Aged 54, Yagiz decided to go back to where his family came. He packed a few possessions and departed for a the old place he often talked about. He got sick during the travel, and barely recovered. The family settled in Nippur. At the same time, Yagiz took a disciple.
