Boroqul

Rashid al-Din Hamadani recorded in his Jami' al-tawarikh that Boroqul and Bo'orchu were told that Temüjin, now entitled Genghis Khan, held them in such respect that he would never issue them with specific military orders, unlike other generals such as Muqali, Jebe, and Subutai.

[14] Genghis named these four as his "steeds", and together with his "hounds" (Subutai, Jebe, Jelme, and Khubilai Noyon [fr]) and the fellow foundling Shigi Qutuqu, they formed the khan's "paladins", or inner council.

[15] Boroqul would command the 38,000 troops of the Mongol right wing with Bo'orchu, and as the khan's most trusted advisors, they and Muqali played a key role in advocating for Genghis' brother Qasar during his dispute with the shaman Kokochu.

[13] Genghis took responsibility for the welfare of Boroqul's children, awarding them honours and taking an interest in their careers;[13] the Üüshin clan to which he belonged became a powerful aristocratic family in the Mongol Empire.

[20] His family continued to receive the titular command of the keshig under Kublai Khan; Öchicher, one of Boroqul's descendants, managed to amass great personal wealth in this position in the late 13th and early 14th centuries.
