Murad Bey
In 1786, the Ottoman sultan Abdülhamid I sent Kapudan Pasha (grand admiral of the Ottoman Navy) Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Pasha to drive out Ibrahim and Murad Bey.&lt;ref name="JabartiPhilipp1994-2/181"&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; Hasan Pasha was fervent and thorough in his efforts and succeeded in the short term, reestablishing direct Ottoman Empire control over Egypt. Ismail Bey was appointed as new Mamluk leader and Shaykh al-Balad (civil governor and de facto ruler). However, in 1791, only five years after their expulsion by Hasan Pasha, the duumvirate returned to Cairo from hiding in southern Egypt and took back "de facto" control.&lt;ref name="JabartiPhilipp1994-2/317–322, 373"&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; At this time, Murad Bey served as Amir al-Hajj (Commander of the Hajj).
