Tolui

Youngest of Genghis Khan's four sons by Borte. By Mongol tradition the youngest son inherited the family hearth and the central heartland of the empire. A formidable general in his own right, he died in his early forties — reportedly drinking himself to death in a shamanic ritual to save his ailing brother Ögedei. His widow Sorghaghtani would maneuver four of their sons onto thrones.
