He was largely a figurehead, set on the throne by the Enderase or Regent, Ras Dori, who had deposed . However, Iyasu took to riding through the countryside and organizing raids; when Ras Ali II who had succeeded his cousin Ras Dori heard about this, he quickly deposed Iyasu.; H. Weld Blundell, The Royal chronicle of Abyssinia, 1769-1840 (Cambridge: University Press, 1922), p. 488f However, records in his journal that Iyasu's fall was due to efforts of the former Emperor Gigar, who "by false testimony" accused Iyasu of inviting Ras Ali's rival, Ali Faris, to depose the Enderase. "It is now said" Gobat wrote on 26 November 1832, "that the old king, Guigar, has procured his death by poison." Although Gobat calls him "Aligaz Faris", the Royal chronicles correctly identify him as "Ali Faris".
