Ichil

Ichil was a 13th-century Mongol amir of the Barlas tribe in the Chagatai Khanate and an ancestor of Timur, succeeding his father Qarachar. Timurid works expanded on his career.

The Shajarat al-atrak makes him generalissimo serving the Chagatai khans Alghu and Mubarak Shah, while Yazdi's Zafarnama says he joined Prince Teguder after the enthronement of Khan Baraq. A 1317 manuscript of Rashid al-Din's Jami' al-tawarikh also calls him a great amir under the Ilkhan Abaqa, though scholars suspect that passage may be a later insertion.
