University student Bilawal Zardari, the teenage son of Benazir Bhutto, has been catapulted into international politics by his mother's death.
Bilawal is studying at Oxford.
Aged just 19, he has accepted joint leadership of Bhutto's Pakistan Peoples Party with his father, Asif Zardari.
Bilawal is just months into a degree at Oxford University, where his mother also studied.
Bhutto's long exile from Pakistan meant Bilawal spent many years in Dubai where he was educated at a prestigious school and served on its student council.
As a schoolboy, he told journalists he believed justice and democracy were the most important tools for tackling Pakistan's problems.
He has said in the past he might enter politics but intended to finish studying before he decided.
Bilawal was born in 1988, three months before his mother became Prime Minister of Pakistan for the first time.
Like his father, Bilawal is a keen horse-rider. He also holds a black belt in Taekwondo.
He is the grandson of Pakistan's first popularly elected Prime Minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
