His wife was an afari girl who was converted to Christianity and made Queen of Ethiopia. He made a Wollo Muslim, a king of Wollo after converting him to Christianity. He tried to unite the country by Christianizing the whole country to confront Egypt and other imperialists. He was a far sighted Emperor.

Kichamo Komalo - He forcefully converted Ras Ali to Ras Michael. Those Wollo Muslims who refused to convert were massacred at Boru Meda, and other got evicted from their ancestral lands. He mercilessly sentenced thousandth to having their breasts cutoff and tongues cut out. The Brits used him as their slave three times: during the Hewitt Treaty, during the killing of Tewodros and when the Mahdists cut off his own head.
