Biography
The father of Abram (Abraham), Nahor, and Haran, Terah lived in Ur of the Chaldeans. After Haran died, Terah took his family including Abram and Sarai and set out for Canaan but settled in Haran instead. He died there at age 205 before Abraham continued to Canaan at God's call.
Terah represents the transition from idolatry to faith, as his family came from a pagan background but through Abraham became the line through which God would bless all nations.
