[1] As the only son of Akdun, he was a scion of a noble family who led a number of important Manchu military operations, including several of the "Ten Great Campaigns".

Agui soon found himself out of favor as he was not fully supportive of Fuheng's plans and the Chinese Qianlong Emperor was vocal of his dislike for this behavior.

This withdrawal, may also have been attributed to Agui, as he was the one responsible for letting the emperor know of the illness affecting Fuheng.

[9] During this battle, Agui expressed the importance in shangyun which was the policy of utilizing merchants in keeping the military stocked.

[15] Agui also led campaigns to unify the Yili area and Taiwan island (1786-1787)[16] within the Chinese state.

Agui's grandson was Na-yen-ch'êng who served as an official in Xinjiang after the Afaqi Khoja revolts.
