Tarkhan Batirashvili was a natural military star when he joined Georgia’s military
Fought the Russians during 2008 war, but left Georgia for Turkey in 2012
In Syria, he’s known as Abu Omar al Shishani, commander in several major victories
Abu Omar al Shishani, whose real name is Tarkhan Batirashvili, appears with other Russian-speaking Islamic State fighters in an Islamic State video, from which this image was captured.
