Imperial Chancellor

The Imperial Chancellor (𐰃𐰀𐰔𐰆𐱃 𐰮𐰀𐰢𐰐𐰅; Eshvan Kotai) was the highest-ranking executive official in the Imperial Government before 1899. After this period, the title became the effective head of the National Assembly and de-facto Head of Government. Before the adoption of the 1899 constitution, the title was almost exclusively granted to a member of Clan Khasa, a holdover from the 17th century during which the clan was the de-facto ruler of Ikhan. Following the death of Chancellor Esik ve Khasa (b.1861, d.1937), the title was handed to Varen Ikir, beginning what is known as the "12th of April Regime". Following his death in 1952, the title was officially abolished by Imperial Mandate.
