Abbas gains strong support from the common people.

Sources will report him spending much of his time among them throughout his reign, personally visiting bazaars and other public places in Isfahan.

Abbas can go for long periods without needing to sleep or eat and can ride great distances.

Short in stature, he will remain physically strong until his health declines in his final years.

Abbas shaves off his beard at the age of nineteen, keeping only his mustache, thus setting a fashion in Iran.
