Khabul Khan

Khabul Khan (died 1148) was the founder and first khan of the Khamag Mongol confederation, uniting the Mongol clans under Borjigin leadership. A son of Tumbinai Khan, he fought off Jurchen Jin invasions; summoned to the Jin court in 1135, he offended the emperor by pulling his beard and then led raids into Jin territory.

In 1147 the Jin recognized him as king of the Mongols. Although he had seven sons, he was succeeded by his cousin Ambaghai.
