== Subutai ==

Born just west of the upper Onon River, he belonged to the Uriankhai tribe, a name Mongols gave to a number of tribes of forest people. Subutai's family had been associated with the family of Genghis Khan for many generations. His brother Jelme also served as a general in the Mongol army. Subutai joined Genghis Khan (or Temujin) while still a teenager. Within a decade he rose to become one of the senior officers, commanding one of roving detachments operating ahead of the main forces.

Subutai is now the chief strategist and general of Ogedei Khan and quite possibly the greatest strategist and general the world has ever seen. He gains victory by means of imaginative and sophisticated strategies, usually maneuvering the enemy into a losing position before even joining battle. At the age of 64 he is no longer in the fighting trim of a career soldier but he still has the vigor needed to travel and direct a battle from the rear lines (as the Mongol way is to keep the leaders far from the thick of fighting).
