A scion of the Undiladze clan, he was a son of Imam-Quli Khan and thus a grandson of the highly celebrated Safavid military commander and statesman Allahverdi Khan.[1] In late 1632, during the widespread purges that were initiated by the order of king Safi himself, Safiqoli was executed along with his father and brother.[3]
