Pakrabul Muhasin Al-Mahi Sadnajar, better known as Al-Mahi Sadnajar (1529-1612) was a wealthy Audonian merchant living in the Emirate of Zaclaria during the mid-14th and early 15th centuries. Sadnajar is best known for cultivating and selling truffles in Zaclaria and is credited as the "grandfather of truffles" as aristocrats from around the world offered to buy from his collection. By 1570, Sadnajar had built a commercial trade empire and had established trading contacts with the Occidental world. Sadnajar is often cited as the reason why the Truffle Wars occurred, as he was the reason that the West was introduced to truffles.
