He was the second Khan of the Western Chagatai ''ulus'' to be descended from Ögedei, the third son of Genghis Khan.
In 1346 he was raised to the Khanship by Qazaghan, who was the leader of the Qara'unas and who recently had taken effective control of the ''ulus''. Two years later Qazaghan had him executed and replaced him with Bayan Qulï, who was a member of the house of Chagatai Khan.
