Sargon Dummu-Gilgamesh Azulpolassar, or Sargon Azulpolassar II, is the eldest son of the four children of Praetor Sargon Azulpolassar of The Hexarchy, by his wife Mako Himeji, a Ralgonese socialite from Kobol. Nram-Sin is also the grandson of Gilgamesh II, and a scion of the House of Arumen. He is the younger brother of Sargon Azulpolassar II, who was previously Praetor Sargon I's heir-presumptive (Ibila in the local custom). Sargon II maintained that honor as part of subsequent arrangements. The Praetor is 45 years old, and as of 1761, he has reigned for 16 years.
Like his father and older brother, Naram-Sin was sent to study abroad, both in the Imperial Federation and elsewhere. He returned to the Hexarchy sometime later to take high-level posts. While Naram-Sin was never made Ibila, he did have his turn in high officers, his being in New South Caputia for a few years before retuning to Marduk. His career path then took him into the foreign service, as he did not expect to ever become Praetor. He subsequently rose through the ranks due to a combination of position and merit, and came to represent New South Caputia to the Council as a non-voting representative by 1743 AN.
Unexpectedly, Sargon II, the heir-presumptive, did not stand for election when Praetor Sargon Azulpolassar passed away suddenly at the age of 74 in the final days of 1744 AN. Instead, Sargon II arranged to continue as Ibila and conceded the election to Naram-Sin, who was considerably younger and nearly as close to the Council, as opposed to their other two brothers, who had already faded into political obscurity by this time.
