Yisro was the father in law of Moshe. Originally he served as an adviser to Pharaoh in Egypt. After he opposed the plan to drown the new born Jews in the Nile River, Yitro was forced to flee to Midyon. There he became the head priest of the country. Eventually Yitro realized the foolishness of idolatry and attempted to retire from his position. When his true intents were realized he was placed in excommunication. After hearing about the splitting of the red sea and the war against Amelek, Yisro traveled to the Jewish encampment in the desert and converted to Judaism.
