Jamshid Khan

Jamshid Khan was a 17th-century Safavid military commander and official. Of "unclear origins", he was the son of a certain Hajji Manuchehr Khan, a ''gholam'' and sometime governor of Shirvan and Astarabad. Jamshid Khan served as the commander of the élite ''gholam'' corps (''qollar-aghasi'') in 1663–1667. He also served as the governor (''hakem'') of Semnan in 1646–1656, of Astarabad (''beglarbeg'') in 1656–1664, and of Qandahar (''beglarbeg'') sometime after 1663.

Especially due to the high office of ''qollar-aghasi'', Jamshid Khan yielded considerable influence in the Safavid state which was evident by the later tenure of grand vizier Mirza Mohammad Karaki (1661-1691), when the latter's power trailed that of Jamshid Khan. He died in 1667. Provided by Wikipedia
