PROPHET HARUN 

Harun was the elder brother of Musa.  He was son of Imran.  He was appointed by Allah to help his brother Musa in the arduous task of freeing and molding the unruly children of Israil into a nation.  He was responsible for carrying out of the rituals of worship as assigned by Musa.  His descendants still carry out these rituals in the temples of Bani Israil.  He acted as the vicegerent of Musa and accompanied his brother through the desert journeys till he died atop Mount Hoor. 

References: He is known as Aaron in Torah and is referred to in al Qur'an along with Musa.
