Born in Tehran[1] to ancestors from the Bayandur tribe,[2] he personally led his men in defending Iranian coasts at Khorramshahr and was killed in action fighting against Allied forces, dying a "gallant death".[3] Commodore Cosmo Graham, who served as the Royal Navy's Senior Naval Officer, Persian Gulf, wrote that Bayandor's "death was regretted by all who knew him. He was intelligent, able, and faithful to Persia."[4]
