Ali bin Hussein

Ali bin Hussein, born Alī ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn ‘Alī al-Hāshimī, is the King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Arabia. He ascended to the throne in June 1931 following the death of his father, Hussein bin Ali. He originally served as one of the leaders of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire and then one of the leaders of the Hashemite Army in the Arabian Wars against the Saudis from 1920 to 1923, before becoming the Crown Prince after the establishment of the Kingdom.

Prince Ali was fundamental to the establishment and constitution of the new Kingdom, and was one of the main advocates for Abd Allah Siraj as Prime Minister. He expected to eventually become King, but given his aged presence, the chances of him lasting long are finite. In the RP, King Ali is to die in 1935, after which he will be succeeded by his brother, Abdullah bin Al-Hussein.
