Samir grew up in one of the more powerful families that inhabited the world of [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]].  He met and befriended [[Stefan Amaris]] at the Amaris Palace at the age of four. Later, Samir became an obedient follower of Stefan, who was in turn rewarded for his loyalty.<ref name=H:LoTV2p22></ref>

When Samir was in his teens, he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps by being a part of the Tri-D arm of Njari Communications.  When his father died in [[2746]], he was catapulted into the role of CEO for the entire media empire.  Due to his skill with the media and his network to obtain information, Samir gained significant influence which led him to become a part of the governing council of the [[Krypteia]].<ref name=H:LoTV2p22></ref>

While serving as the head of a propaganda team in the 2760s, Njari was responsible for the production of the fake [[Götterdämmerung (system)#Amaris Civil War|Battle of Götterdämmerung]], an entirely fictitious battle supposedly fought on the remote world of [[Götterdämmerung (system)|Götterdämmerung]] between twenty assorted regiments from the [[Rim Worlds Army]] and a terrorist or seditious [[BattleMech]] [[division]] of the kind being encountered by the [[Star League Defense Force]] throughout the [[Magistracy of Canopus]], [[Outworlds Alliance]], and [[Taurian Concordat]]. The intention was to create the illusion that the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] was as beset by the events of the [[Periphery Uprising]] as the other [[Periphery]] realms, but that the Rim Worlds Armed Forces were both loyal to the [[Star League]] and capable of handling the situation.<ref name="H:LoTV1p88+"/>

Njari's work was successful at the time; while it may not have stood up to more detailed examination in quieter times, the distraction offered by a war on three fronts simultaneously was enough that the Battle of Götterdämmerung was accepted at face value by [[First Lord]] [[Richard Cameron|Richard Cameron II]]. The deception enabled Stefan Amaris to keep the SLDF from focusing on the Rim Worlds Republic or sending troops into the Republic prior to [[Operation APOTHEOSIS]], Amaris' coup that overthrew the government of the [[Terran Hegemony]].<ref name="H:LoTV1p88+"/>

After the coup, Njari became Minister of Communications for Stefan Amaris, with his performance compared to that of [[w:Joseph Goebbels|Joseph Goebbels]], the Reich Minister of Propaganda in Germany during World War 2 on Terra.<ref name="H:LoTV1p88+"/>

When [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]'s forces first landed in Geneva, Samir made attempts to escape the planet as well as to conceal his identity.  All of his attempts failed and he was captured in June of [[2777]] after Geneva was taken by the SLDF.  He was held for four years in custody until the [[Geneva War Trials]] commenced.  At the trial, Samir was found guilty of his crimes and sentenced to hang on the 9th of October.  Before the date, on the 17th of September, a Krypteia agent was able to smuggle poison into his cell block which he used to commit suicide.<ref name=H:LoTV2p22></ref>
