Vaha Tamehar was the founder of the khanate of Wozan, a predecessor to the modern state of Zinsha-Vogia, with its capital at X. An ethnic Rashtuni and formerly a Rashtuni general, Tamehar was disgraced by the Rashtuni khan X after embezzling funds from the treasury. Following this he gathered an army and seized power in Zinsha and Vogia, unifying the territories as a sovereign state for the first time.
During his six-year reign Tamehar ruled Wozan with an iron fist, and was wildly unpopular with the general populace.
