== Biography ==
Born in about 1820 to a [[Kurds|Kurdish]] family, his mother was a former [[Concubinage|concubine]] given to his father by the governor of Garrus Mohammad-Sadeq Khan as a favor. His father and grandfather were attached to the court of the crown prince of [[Tabriz]]. As part of his education, Hassan Ali Khan was taught [[Arabic]] and [[Persian language|Persian]] composition, history, calligraphy and perhaps theology.<ref name=":0" />
As part of the Garrus regiment, Hasan Ali  participated in the [[Siege of Herat (1837–1838)|Herat campaign]] of 1837/38 and was later assigned to the Tabriz garrison and to pacify the [[Kermanshah]] region in 1841/42. He was then summoned to the capital and chose to leave Bijar for the [[Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine]] near [[Tehran]] following the suspicious death of his father. He was charged with [[patricide]] but the accession of [[Naser al-Din Shah Qajar]] to the throne opened new opportunities for Hasan Ali who was reinstated as commander of the Garrus regiment. He went on to become an important figure in quelling riots against the central government including the Salar revolt between 1847 and 1851.<ref name=":0" />
