Biography

Aqa Khan-e Nuri was born as the second son of Mirza Asadollah Nuri, who served as the chief army accountant during the reign of two subsequent Qajar rulers: Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar and Fath Ali Shah Qajar. Their family, known as the Khajeh Nouri family, were part of the local nobility of the Nur region in Mazandaran, and were prominently visible both in the bureaucracy of the state as well as the army since the mid-18th century. He died in Qom on 10 March 1865, being "possibly a victim of foul play organized by his enemies".
