Bo'orchu helped him win back the horses,[1][2] and returned with Temujin to his father, Nakhu Bayan, who scolded him, having feared he was dead.
Bo'orchu refused any reward for helping Temujin recover the stolen horses, but recognized his authority and attached to him as a nökör (i.e. "free companion"), leaving his own family.
[4][5] Genghis Khan later rewarded Bo'orchu for this deed, praising him for he only shifted his weight from one foot to the other once during the night.
Bo'orchu was one of the most trusted friends of Ögedei, Genghis Khan's son and the second ruler of the Mongol Empire.
In modern Mongolia, Bo'orchu is commemorated with a statue in front of the Government Palace in Sükhbaatar Square, Ulaanbaatar.
