Pir Ali Bayandur was a ruler of the Aq Qoyunlu in the area of Kiğı, where he had his summer encampment in Arminiya.[2] Pir Ali was a son of the Aq Qoyunlu ruler Fakhr ad-Din Qutlu by his Pontic wife Maria Comnena, sister of Alexios III of Trebizond.[3]
His wife was one of his nieces, a daughter of Ahmad b. Qutlu.[1] He had several sons, and a daughter named Sara Khatun, who married Ali Aq Qoyunlu, and became the mother of Uzun Hasan.[3]
Pir Ali was allied with Timur in the offensive against the Ottomans in 1402–03.[4] Later, his son Piltan was involved in the pillage of Timur's spoils of war, which led to their imprisonment by Timur.[4] Pir Ali was later released, and returned to his dominion in Kiğı, where he died circa 1413.[5]
His son Piltan succeeded him in Kiğı, under the suzerainty of Qara Osman.[5]
