Rose to prominence in Babkha as a military officer and politician in the early 1470s, joining the Babkhan Liberal Centre Party, and taking part in the cabinets led by Tahmaseb Farshbaf, where he served as Vizier of Foreign Affairs. He later joined the Rastakhiz Party and was Grand Vizier of Babkha 1491–1499. Granted Shirerithian citizenship in 1485. Raised to the nobility as Duke of Brookshire in 1490. Later Baron of Amarr.

A staunch liberal, he fell out with the monarchs in both Shireroth and Babkha. Lost the title of Duke of Brookshire in 1497 after the Kaiser found him too liberal (he was replaced by the kaiser's own wife, Alexandra Decens. In Babkha, he fought (with rhetorics) against the end of liberty and democracy and the implementation of the Harmonious Society. Ultimately, it was in vain.
