Khwaja Khatir al-Din

Khwaja Khatir al-Din
   A prominent Tajik noble serving in the finance department during Balban's reign (1266-1286). After Kaiqubad's accession (1287), he was raised to the position of wazir but soon lost the coveted position on account of Malik Nizam al-Din's hostility. With Jalal al-Din Firuz Khalji's rise to sovereignty in 1290, Khwaja Khatir once again came to occupy the office of wazir. What happened to Khwaja Khatir subsequently is not known. He, like many other nobles of Balban's time, disappeared from the scene after Malik Chajju's revolt.
