The description of Ibrahim Pasha is the one provided in a historical novel by Mika Waltari. However, I have done some research about this Grand Vizier and I haven't found sources for some of the statements. I would like to consult the author of this article whether he/she is basing the description in Waltari's book. If it is not the case, I would really appreciate if he/she could provide me his/her sources. Thak you

[edit] the two cents

How did Ibrahim Pasha enter Turkish service? Was he enslaved as a boy under the devsirme process and thereby forcibly converted to Islam? This aspect of his career has not been treated.
