Biography
Gravestone of Fatali Khan

He was born to Muhammad Husayn Khan Mushtaq and daughter of Malik Ali, Sultan of Arash.[1] He was still a child when he fought along his father against Haji Khan and witnessed his capture. He was blinded by his half-brother Muhammad Hasan Khan c. 1785 in order to prevent another civil war.

He was proclaimed a khan by local nobility in opposition to Mostafa Khan's designs in 1805. After reign of a month or so, he was forced to step down in favor of his half-brother Salim Khan.[2]

He ruled Shaki for a second time, again briefly this time with certain Mammad beg on the orders of Ivan Gudovich. Reasoning for his appointment was his hatred of his half-brothers.[3] He was soon replaced by Jafar Qoli Khan Donboli, former ruler of Tabriz and Khoy in 1806. He died on 12 May 1815 and buried in Khan cemetery near Shaki Khan's Mosque.

gollark: You can blame it on your upbringing and environment and genes or the initial conditions of the universe and the rules for updating it or something like that, but I'm a compatibilist.
gollark: Probably.
