Salman bin Abdulaziz is the new king of Saudi. The 79year-old is the half-brother to the late King. He was educated at the Royal Air Force College in UK, has been serving as the second Deputy Prime Minister and Director General of the Saudi Intelligence Agency.
Late King Abdullah picked Salman (right) as his heir because he knew he would ensure his 'moderate' legacy. Even though he had over 50 sons to multiple wives - he's the latest in a line of ageing sons to become King. With reports that King Salman is battling with both Alzheimer's and dementia, his former task as ruler-by-proxy could be taken by another member of the sprawling royal family. He has suffered at least one stroke which left him with limited movement in his left arm
