Demasq Kaja
Demasq Kaja or Dimashq Khwāja (; , 1300 - August 24, 1327) was a member of the Chobanid family around the first quarter of the 14th century. Biography He was the third son of Chupan, born during Ghazan Khan's Syrian campaign. His father named him after Damascus, who probably was born during its siege. He rose to prominence thanks to his father's rise following the death of Uyghur noble Amir Sevinch in January 1318, who was guardian of Ilkhan Abu Sa'id. 18-year old Demasq Kaja seized Shabankara district of the Fars province and dispersed it to his favorites. His estates were plundered during revolt of Irinjin and Qurumishi in 1319 by the former's son. After their defeat, Chupan accumulated a great deal of power as an amir of the Ilkhanate. While technically serving the emir, he was the effective power behind the throne. He therefore divided up Ilkhanate between himself and his sons' influence regions.

Pahlavi Regime
The Pahlavi dynasty () is an Iranian royal dynasty that was the last to rule Iran before the country's monarchy was abolished by the Iranian Revolution in 1979. It was founded in 1925 by Reza Shah Pahlavi, a non-aristocratic Iranian soldier of Mazanderani origin, who took on the name of the Pahlavi scripts of the Middle Persian language from the Sasanian Empire of pre-Islamic Iran. The dynasty largely espoused this form of Iranian nationalism rooted in the pre-Islamic era (notably based on the Achaemenid Empire) during its time in power, especially under its last king Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The dynasty replaced the Qajar dynasty in 1925 after the 1921 coup d'état, beginning on 14 January 1921 when 42-year-old soldier Reza Khan was promoted by British General Edmund Ironside to lead the British-run Persian Cossack Brigade.
