General Essad Pasha was the last Hassocki military governor of Shqiperi. He stayed on after independence, determined to continue influencing local politics.

Essad Pasha welcomed Otto of Schlepsig and Max of Witte as "Prince Halim Eddin" and "Captain Yildirim," fully believing their cover story, and defending it when the Dual Monarchy's ambassador, Count Rappaport, opined that the Prince was really a disguised Schlepsigian.

Literary comment[]

Essad Pasha is based on Essad Pasha Toptani (1863-1920), historical Ottoman General and Prime Minister (1914-1916) of Albania.
