Description: (Ruler)
Arghun Khan was the fourth ruler of the Mongol empire's Ilkhanate, known for his devout Buddhist beliefs and pro-Christian stance. He actively sought alliances with European powers against the Muslim Mamluks, sending embassies to Europe in an effort to form a Franco-Mongol alliance. Arghun played a key role in requesting a new bride from Kublai Khan, a mission that Marco Polo reportedly undertook. Although he passed away before the bride arrived, she went on to marry Arghun's son, Ghazan, carrying on the family's legacy.
