Safiqoli Khan

Mirman Mirimanidze, better known as Safiqoli Khan (died 1631), was a Safavid official and gholam who served during the reigns of Abbas I (1588-1629) and Safi (1629-1642).

[2][3] One of his uncles, Tahmaspqoli, who was bestowed with the title Anīs ol-Dowleh, was the first influential gholam from the family.

[4] Safiqoli rose steadily through the Safavid ranks to become a yuzbashi (officer) early on in his career.

[5] Later on, in 1618–1619, he became prefect (darugha) of New Julfa in Isfahan, and was made governor (beglarbeg) of Hamadan shortly after, in 1619–1620.

[5][6] Following king Abbas I's recapture of Baghdad in 1624 during the Ottoman-Safavid War of 1623–1639, which ended many decades of Ottoman rule, Safiqoli was appointed as its new beglarbeg.
