Abstract
This is the last of three papers on Drinfeld presentations of quasi-split affine iquantum groups $\widetilde{\mathbf U}^\imath$, settling the remaining type ${\rm AIII}^{(τ)}_{2r}$. This type distinguishes itself among all quasi-split affine types in having 3 relative root lengths. Various basic real and imaginary $v$-root vectors for $\widetilde{\mathbf U}^\imath$ are constructed, giving rise to affine rank one subalgebras of $\widetilde{\mathbf U}^\imath$ associated with simple roots in the finite relative root system. We establish the relations among these $v$-root vectors and show that they provide a Drinfeld presentation of $\widetilde{\mathbf U}^\imath$.
