Amir Teymur Khan Shishbeyli-Qashqai (Lieut. G. F. Magee, [1945] 1948)

Amir Teimur Khan



Born about 1915. Eldest son of Hossein Qoli Khan. Kalantar of Sheshboluki. Of medium height, heavily built, dark complexioned. Has been kalantar since 1939. Naser Khan describes him as either “very young” or “too young” but admits he is efficient. Although uneducated and seemingly ill-mannered and inhospitable, he has a reputation for straight dealing, veracity and honesty. He is poorly dressed compared with the average Qashqai kalantar and does not share their prosperity although his tribe is the wealthiest in Qashqai.
