Safi Khan Lezgi
Alqas Mirza, better known by his later name of Safi- Khan Lezgi, was a 17th-century official in Safavid Iran, who hailed from a Lezgian princely family. A native of Dagestan, he was the son of Aldas Mirza Shamkhal, also known as Ildirim Khan Shamkhal, and therefore a member of the family of the Shamkhal of Kumukh. He was sent to the Safavid court in Isfahan at a young age by his father during king Safi's reign, where he grew up and was renamed "Safi Khan". He served as the governor of the Erivan Province from 1666 to 1674.
His son, Fath-Ali Khan Daghestani, rose to become one of the most powerful individuals in the Safavid state.
