Haile Selassie was the Regent of Ethiopia (1916-1930) and the Emperor from 1930-1974. He died in 1975.

He was born as Tafari Makkonnen in 1892, but adopted the name of Haile Selassie (which means "Power of Trinity").

He is revered in the name of Rastafari by the Jamaican Rastafarian movement as a religious symbol.
