Tughlugh Timur (1347-1363) came from obscure origins to lead Mongol nomads of the Chagatai Khanate. His conversion to Islam facilitated annexation of Transoxiana and the reconstitution of the Chaghatai dominions. He tried to rebuild the empire of his idol Genghis Khan. He vicously attacked Persia, India, and the Ottoman Turks. Like his idol, he died while marching on China.
