Bârmân (fa|بارمان) In the time of Nowzar was the Great War of Iran and Turan. In this war, Barman was one of the commanders of the Turanian leader Afrasiab. The Iran-Turan war happened after Manuchehr's death. Until then, Turan did not dare attack Iran. But after the death of Manuchehr Turanians had an opportunity to attack Iran. The King of Iran was killed in the attack and a large part of the country was occupied.

Barman and Qobád

In the Iran-Turan War that resulted in the annihilation of Nowzar Shah of Iran and the conquest of the country, Barman fought and killed Qobad, the son of Kaveh Ahangar. Barman was later killed by Qobad's brother Qaren.
