    Kemankeş Paşa served as Kapudan Paşa and as Grand Vizier. He lived from around 1592 - 1644, where he was executed by Sultan İbrahim I. Kemankeş was rather close with Kösem Sultan and even had a little crush on her, but never overstepped any boundaries. He helped and protected her often and did not like Hacı Ağa, her most loyal servant and constant companion, very much. He served Valide Kösem Sultan under both Sultan Murad IV as well as Sultan İbrahim I up until his death
