Does anyone know what a "courtier" is?

I’m doing a close reading and the question asks..

“What makes Charlie Perkins motives different from those of Ali’s other courtiers?”

but I dont know what it means by courtiers? this is the piece of text that goes with it..

“The rest were relatives, old pals of Ali who had fallen on hard times, and outright leeches. Daily they plundered the hotel’s shopping mall amassing clothes, jewellery and tacky souvenirs, all charged to Ali’s account. But there were also altruistic courtiers.”

can anyone tell me what it is? :/
