Al-Fath ibn Khaqan
Al- Fatḥ ibn Khāqān( – 11 December 861) was an Abbasid official and one of the most prominent figures of the court of the Caliph al- Mutawakkil.
The son of a Turkic general of Caliph al- Mu'tasim, al- Fath was raised at the caliphal palace alongside the future al- Mutawakkil and adopted by al- Mu'tasim at age seven.
With the accession of al- Mutawakkil, he occupied a series of official posts, including governor of Egypt and the Syrian provinces, but his power stemmed mainly from his close relationship to al- Mutawakkil, whose main adviser and confidante he was.
A well- educated man and ardent bibliophile, al- Fath was himself a writer and a patron of writers, and assembled a large library at his palace at Samarra.
He was assassinated by the Turkic guard alongside al- Mutawakkil.

Al-Mutawakkil II
Al- Mutawakkil II was an Abbasid Caliph of Cairo, Egypt for the Mamluk Sultans between 1479 and 1497.
His father, Ya'qub, was son of Al- Mutawakkil I.
His name was" Abdul Aziz ibn Ya`qub ibn Muhammad".
Al- Mutawakkil II was born nineteen and eight hundred, and his mother is called" Haji Malik", the daughter of one of the soldiers.
He was loved between the private and the public because of the excellence of literature, ethics and humility, and a screen for each one.
When his uncle became ill, and his illness was entrusted to him after the office, when he died on the sixteenth of Muharram of 884.
In 885 the prince led a campaign to the Turkmen.
He met with the Emir of the State( the White Shah), defeated the Mamluks, captured the Yishpak and was killed on the shore of the Euphrates River.
Then the Sultan" Qaitbay" reconciled with the Emirate( the White Shah).
He was succeeded by Al- Mustamsik.
Al-Mutawakkil III
Al- Mutawakkil III( died 1543) was caliph from 1508 to 1516, and again in 1517.
He was the last caliph of the later, Egyptian- based period of the Abbasid dynasty.
Since the Mongol sack of Baghdad and the execution of Caliph Al- Musta'sim in 1258, the Abbasid caliphs had resided in Cairo, nominal rulers used to legitimize the actual rule of the Mamluk sultans.
Al- Mutawakkil III was deposed briefly in 1516 by his predecessor Al- Mustamsik, but was restored to the caliphate the following year.
In 1517, Ottoman sultan Selim I had managed to defeat the Mamluk Sultanate, and made Egypt part of the Ottoman Empire.
Al- Mutawakkil III was captured together with his family and transported to Constantinople.
According to traditional history, at this time he formally surrendered the title of caliph as well as its outward emblems—the sword and mantle of Muhammad—to Ottoman sultan Selim I.
Some historians have noted that this story does not appear in the literature until the 1780s, suggesting that it was advanced to bolster the claims of caliphal jurisdiction over Muslims outside of the empire, as asserted in the 1774 Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca.
