Character of Nadir Shah as a formidable ruler and soldier
A lengthy portrait describes Nadir Shah as about sixty, six feet tall, robust, with black eyes and brows, and a sun-darkened complexion. He drinks moderately, fears no perquisites, and governs with strict discipline, military prowess, and vigilant espionage through state inspectors. He meals briefly, rests little, and prefers field action, rewarding soldiers generously yet harshly punishing offenses, while maintaining secrecy and formidable memory of his officers and men.
