The chief of the Throne Room (has oda başı) spent nearly all his time near the sultan. He would keep track of the daily affairs of the sultan, and help him with personal issues. The arms bearer, who ranked next, was the aide-de-camp and the master of ceremonies. He would bear the bow, quiver, and the sword of the sultan. This is why they are depicted in some old engravings and miniatures as following the sultan with a sword in their hands.
