Naṣīr Khan Ṣārem-al-Molk, then Sardār-e Jang (1864-1932), Baḵtīārī chief, fifth son of Emāmqolī Khan, known as Ḥājī Īlḵānī. As a commander of the cavalry regiment stationed in Tehran at the outbreak of the Constitutional revolution, he was one of the few Baḵtīārī chiefs who remained favorable to the Qajars. He was īlḵānī during World War I. In the eyes of the Baḵtīārīs, he remains a legendary figure as a fierce warrior of indomitable courage.
