Biographical
He was sent as an envoy to the Ottoman Empire in 1596 and returned in
1598. He clashed with the wali of Tabarsaran, Ma'sum Khan, in 1608 over the
construction of a fortress. Conflict arose with the officers of Daghistan
and Tabaristan and the Shah intervened. To appease the officers, and because
Zulfiqar Khan had become an important and powerful noble, the Shah had him
put to death.[P97]
