His Imperial and Royal Highness (HIRH) Prince Gharios El Chemor of Ghassan, Al’Numan VIII was born Ahnume Guerios in Curitiba, Brazil, on Saint Michael Archangel’s Day (September 29). The Portuguese transliteration of his name reflects his birth in exile, yet his lineage is anything but ordinary. He descends directly from saints, emperors, kings, nobles, and heroes. Prince Gharios is internationally recognized as the legitimate heir of the Ghassanid Kings, the Byzantine Emperors of the Phocid Dynasty, and the Sheikhs of the Chemor family, as well as noble European families from Italy, France, and the United Kingdom.
On his mother’s side, he also carries Jewish heritage—both Ashkenazi and Sephardic, the latter from the illustrious Pinto family of Spain and Portugal.
Prince Gharios is not only a royal dynast, but also a multifaceted creative force: actor, director, producer, musician, painter, and writer. He is an internationally renowned martial arts grandmaster, holding several black belts, and the creator of the Bruce Lee Award of the Asian World Film Festival. His humanitarian work has earned him multiple awards across four continents. His book Middle East – The Secret History was honored with the 21st International Cultural Award Trentino–Abruzzo–Alto Adige by the Italian Republic. In 2014, he was also invested as a Knight of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem by the Pope, and later recognized by the Royal Family of Dubai as the “Middle East Peace Crusader of the Year.”
Under his leadership, the Royal House of Ghassan gained United Nations Special Consultative Status in 2016, a landmark recognition. He has been received officially by heads of state, including the President of Lebanon Michel Aoun and President of Albania Bujar Nishani, and in 2017 received from President Donald Trump the U.S. Presidential Volunteer Service Award – Lifetime Achievement. In 2019, the Lebanese government issued Presidential Decree No. 5800/2019, formally recognizing the Royal House of Ghassan. In 2022, Prince Gharios was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame alongside icons like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Evander Holyfield, Royce Gracie, Randy Couture, Jason Statham, and Paul “Triple H” Levesque. In 2023, he was inducted into the prestigious Marquis Who’s Who for excellence in diplomacy.
Education
Prince Gharios studied International Law, History, Political Science, and Middle Eastern Studies, complementing his royal responsibilities with deep academic research. He trained in Marketing, PR, and Propaganda at IBEPEX (Brazil), and later earned certification in Leadership and Communication from Harvard University. This rare combination of classical scholarship, modern political science, and world-class leadership training shapes his unique role as both a traditional sovereign and a 21st-century reformer.
Early Career in Media and the Arts
Since the age of fifteen, Prince Gharios has been a prolific writer and cultural commentator, publishing in magazines, newspapers, newsletters, and fanzines. Under the pen name Mauricio Guerios, he wrote humorous columns such as Em Cena for Estado do Paraná and Mestres do Universo for RPC/Globo TV. He went on to author essays, plays, comedy routines, and over 200 episodes for Brazilian television and radio, including the hit A Hora do Mico on SBT and Boa Noite Cinderela. He is recognized as one of the few modern authors of serialized comedy radio soap operas. In 2010, he co-wrote and starred in the feature film Música e Violência.
Scholar, Author, and Thought Leader
Driven by his royal responsibilities, Prince Gharios pursued advanced study of international law, Middle Eastern history, religion, and culture. He became a leading scholar of dynastic and nobiliary law, publishing the groundbreaking Dynastic and Nobility Law: The End of a Myth. His more recent work Royal Sovereignty vis-à-vis Contemporary International Law is a landmark bestseller, filling a major gap in modern legal literature by analyzing dynastic legitimacy in the post-World War II era.
Prince Gharios’s book Middle East: The Secret History (peer-reviewed, 2014) made him the first Arab author honored by the Italian Republic with the Trentino–Abruzzo–Alto Adige award. In 2015, he became an international correspondent for Consciência Política, a Brazilian political magazine.
Today, he is the author of twenty books, several peer-reviewed, including an internationally awarded title in Italy, with five works reaching #1 on Amazon’s bestseller list. Since several of his titles achieved #1 across multiple categories, this actually represents nine #1 Best-Seller achievements overall. His works span international law, geopolitics, Middle Eastern history, spirituality, political philosophy, and martial arts reform.
