Piri Beg Qajar
Piri Beg Qajar was an early 16th-century Safavid military officer and official from the Turkoman Qajar tribe. He fought at the decisive Battle of Sarur in 1501 against the Ak Koyunlu; for his apparent valor, he was given an honorary name by king Ismail I. In the same year, Piri Beg Qajar was appointed as the first Safavid governor of Karabakh–Ganja.
Piri Beg Qajar is apparently one of only two attested individuals from the Qajar tribe who held stature during Ismail I's rule. Nevertheless, neither Piri Beg nor Acheh Soltan were leading amirs "in the sense of holding high office in the early Safavid administration".
