He was a very wise man and favourable to the Latins
vir prudentissimus et popouli nostri amator. William of Tyre bk. 16, 8.61-62
He was the army chief and vizier of
Mujir al-Din 101
, king of Damascus
princeps militie et regis procurator negociorum. William of Tyre bk. 17, 26.15-16
His authority throughout the realm of Damascus was much greater than that of

, the titular ruler
William of Tyre bk. 16, 8.5-6
He tried by every possible means to get the favour of the Latins: he was afraid that
Nur al-Din 4001
would drive out the worthless
Mujir al-Din 101
, which would destroy the basis of Anar's own power - as in fact would happen in the future; that is why he offered to pay
Baldwin 53
's expenses
William of Tyre bk. 16, 8.67-88
