== Origins and early life == Vushmgir was the son of Ziyar. He belonged to the Arghich tribe, which claimed to be descended from Arghush Farhadan, king of Gilan who lived during the time of Kai Khosrow. The religion of Ziyar and his family is not exactly known. Zoroastrianism, including heterodox branches such as the Mazdakite, the Zurvanite and Gayomardian, was still popular at his time, and many Islamic sources describe the Daylamite and Gilite leaders of the time as "atheists". Vushmgir is most commonly considered to have been a Muslim, particularly Zaydi Shiite, but he has also been described as Zoroastrian at least in his earlier years. During his early life, Vushmgir lived in Gilan, which was then under control of the Alids.
