Mollabashi was the astronomer of Nasser al-Din Shah who was sent to Isfahan on a mission. Zell-e Soltan was not elected as crown prince because he was born from a non-Qajar mother. This created the entanglements and behaviors that this person did to show his power. One of his tasks was to build an army in the uniform of an Austrian soldier, and he hired teachers from Germany to teach them martial arts.
Zell-e Soltan either completely destroyed all the works of Safavid period or brought them to the brink of extinction, and strangest of all is the damage done to the nature of Iran in Miankaleh area. It completely destroyed many native animals of Iran in Miankaleh such as Maral, Caspian tiger.
