Person in the Tomb
Ahmet Paşa, who is said to be of Albanian origin, received the nickname "Beautiful" (Güzel) because of his good looks.
He rose in the palace service and became the Vizier of Kubbealtı (“Under Dome Vizier”, high-rank vizier appointed only by the Sultan or Grand Vizier), and after the death of Sokullu Mehmed Paşa (1579), he was appointed the Grand Vizier.
His influence increased thanks to his being a son-in-law to the palace; however, he died in 1580.
