Overview

Abu al-Qasim al-Husayn ibn Ruh al-Nawbakhti, to whom the Imamis attribute the "Babiyya". Ibn al-Athir says that he was in charge of the vizierate of Hamid ibn al-Abbas, and that al-Shalmaghani introduced a doctrine of the incarnation of divinity after him. 2

This is what the data record from a single source. The rest of his life needs an additional source.
