among the toadies

I was eventually able to find this definition from Najafi's dictionary of colloquial Persian
دست‌پرورده‌ی شخص مقتدر که فرمان آن شخص را ببرد و از قبل او بهره‌مند شود
I think "toady" is good equivalent in this context.
Other options: bootlicker, lackey, minion

Note: for some reason the confidence level shows as 3.
I meant to click on 5.
