A native of Shali and a representative of the taip Kurchaloy, he was a military leader and statesman of the North Caucasian Imamate.

He was also a mudir (general-naib) and head of artillery of the North Caucasian Imamate, as well as a naib of the districts of Shali and Greater Chechnya.

[1] February 8–11, 1849, when cutting a clearing in the direction of the Shali glade, he participated in the battle with the troops of colonels E. I. Meidel and Seryabrekov.

January 8–24, 1851, when cutting a clearing along the Bass River, Talkhig successfully repulsed the attacks of General L. P. Nikolai on the Shali trenches.

Talkhig's artillery was practically elusive: having given several shots from guns at the tsarist troops, he quickly moved on a horse-drawn carriage to another place, from where he again inflicted damage on the Russians.
