Bundukh Chagyar

Bundukh Chagyar was the Khan of the Chagyar Khanate, son of the Old Khan mentioned in early Samsonist literature in the Chronicle of St. Leopold. Bundukh was a very short-lived ruler, focused on military affairs and described by St. Leopold as "Rowdy, and eager to display strength by force to compensate for his lack of control over the horse-clans."

He conducted a campaign through the Heartlands after St. Leopold renounced his ties to the Mokosh in protest of the mistreatment of the Heartlander peoples. Bundukh sacked several towns on the way to Muddah, where he heard of a "prodigal child" behind which several tribes had rallied. The child was Samson the Great, at the time in the custody of St. Leopold, and upon arriving at Muddah, situated deep in the Heartlands, Bundukh was attacked by two lionesses who killed him and his horse, prompting his retainers to flee.

Bundukhs death destroyed the main line of Chagyar inheritors, prompting a long period of conflict between the Mokosh clans over who should take the title of Khan. After several tributaries abandoned the Khanate, the remaining clans named Ikha Chagyar, a cousin of Bundukh, as their leader. Ikha would be unable to prevent the collapse of the khanate, however, as he would be slain in battle by Samson the Great at the Battle of the Elgens. The Chagyar Khanate would collapse, shortly after, and most records on the Chagyar Clan would be lost as a result.
