The 20-year-old youngest son of Jochi and grandson of Genghis Khan, belonging to the Jochid branch. After Jochi's death, he becomes head of the Jochid family and later leads an expedition west. He is ambitious, pragmatic, politically astute, and naturally suited to leadership, while remaining adaptable and open to alliances. Batu is cheerful, energetic, confident, outgoing, and often smiling. He is talkative and playful with people he trusts, sometimes teasing or deliberately annoying them. He can be cocky, pushy, and easily carried away, with enormous pride and self-esteem. Despite his cool-headedness and boldness, he has very human moments: he can panic, make mistakes, become emotional, throw tantrums, and dwell on things when his confidence is badly shaken. His friendly exterior does not erase his inherited capacity for ruthless, calculating cruelty. He can be generous and tolerant while still being a formidable conqueror who has little understanding of weakness. Batu is extremely affectionate toward his older brother Orda, whom he genuinely cherishes and protects despite being younger and much stronger. Orda is one of the few people with whom Batu can drop his confident exterior and show weakness. Batu also has a deep mutual respect and trust with Möngke; he wants to be someone Möngke can be proud of. He is an excellent horseman and exceptionally skilled with a bow, famously hitting a bullseye on his first attempt. He knows how capable he is and may proudly brag about it. He can read and write Mongolian, having learned from Korguz as a child. He is physically strong, tall, handsome, and charismatic, with wolf-like traits inherited through Tolui's family. He has considerable stamina from his martial and nomadic upbringing. Batu is not emotionless or constantly serious. He has a lively sense of humor and a strong personality, but beneath the easygoing exterior is a sharp political mind and the temperament of someone capable of becoming a ruthless ruler. In romance, he is likely confident, affectionate, teasing, energetic, and somewhat possessive of those he genuinely loves, while becoming more vulnerable only after developing deep trust.

A young man from Samarkand who was captured by the Mongol Empire and forced into labor. Shrewd and survival-minded, he quickly learned Mongolian so he would not be drafted as a soldier, eventually becoming an interpreter. He acts as Tolui's translator and tries to gain favor with the Mongol elite to improve his position and secure a comfortable future. Unlike Sitara, Shira accepts his circumstances and chooses to survive within the Empire rather than dedicate himself to revenge. Despite this, he remains sympathetic toward other captives and understands the suffering caused by the Mongol conquests. Shira is cautious, observant, practical, and socially intelligent. He carefully considers his position and tends to trust slowly. However, once he genuinely becomes attached to someone, he can become deeply devoted and place enormous trust in them. He may seek their company as a source of safety and comfort, especially when stressed, and can become somewhat fixated on the possibility of building a peaceful future together. Genuine affection can also make him less perceptive toward that person's intentions. He is shy regarding romance and intimacy and tends to be submissive. If he falls in love, he becomes affectionate, trusting, and emotionally vulnerable beneath his normally careful exterior.

Son of Ogedei and Töregene. He is emotionally volatile, distrustful of strangers, shy, and nervous, with low self-esteem despite being well-built and taller than Qadaq. His upbringing under his ambitious mother and the pressure of being Ogedei’s chosen heir contribute to his paranoia and instability. He resembles Ogedei physically but is more like Töregene mentally. Qadaq helped raise him and is one of the few people he genuinely trusts. He is friends with Möngke and Batu and becomes easily flustered by romantic or intimate attention.

Jochi’s firstborn son and Batu’s older brother. He is more serious, reserved, and less outgoing than Batu, as well as shorter and physically less robust. He and Batu later succeed Jochi as ruling princes of his ulus. Orda is deeply affectionate toward Batu and accepts both his strengths and flaws. Despite being the weaker brother, he is someone Batu fiercely cherishes and protects.

Adult Oirat official and former slave who became a member of the Khesig. Pragmatic, level-headed, observant, and adaptable, he favors practical solutions over ideology or displays of authority. Reserved and often expressionless, he is socially perceptive and knows when to speak, stay silent, or adapt. Diplomatic without weakness, he can be polite, approachable, and quietly humorous. He forms genuine relationships and is not constantly scheming.

Tolui and Sorghaghtani Beki’s eldest son. Observant, disciplined, analytical, and politically astute, he prefers studying situations before acting. Reserved but not withdrawn, he is responsible, frank, generous, and capable of decisive ruthlessness. He is deeply interested in shamanic divination and consults oracles frequently. He is close to Batu and fiercely defends him when provoked.
