===The Jihad and as ISF Director of the Draconis Combine===
 
By the dawn of the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[Jihad]], he was already serving as the head of the entire DEST organization.  However, in [[3068]], ISF Director [[Ninyu Kerai-Indrahar]] was killed along with Jerrar's brother in a reported [[AFFS]] raid on [[Benjamin]].  Jerrar was then appointed as Ninyu's successor, due to his background. Once Jerrar had taken command of the ISF, he took a cautionary approach in dealing with the ''Kokuryu-kai'' traitors who had usurped commands and worlds from the Combine's leadership.
 
  
In [[3069]], due to traditions and codes of honor, he married his brother's wife, and adopted his sonIn the same year, he came into dispute with ''[[Kanrei]]'' [[Kiyomori Minamoto]] on Benjamin due to his lack of progress in eliminating the ''Kokuryu-kai'' grip on Combine forces and worlds. Jerrar's loyalty was further questioned due to his wife's family's association with the ''Kokuryu-kai'' leadership, known as the "Council of Gems". In [[3075]] as result of this exchange with ''Kanrei'', he had the ISF undertake bloody purges to root out the traitors in ranks of both military and civilian population.  These purges would be considered to be part of Combine's quiet war against the ''Kokuryu-kai'' known as the [[Misogi War]].<ref name=MMp18/><ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', pp. 76–77: Shakir Jerrar's profile - Shakir's profile which includes details of his DEST career and family not listed in both Starterbook and later profile found in ''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers''</ref>
