Archival Overview

Famed Mongol vanguard commander whose name was given by Genghis Khan after shooting the Khan in battle. Together with Subutai, he commanded the legendary reconnaissance raid around the Caspian Sea.

Biographical Record

Originally named Jirghogadai, he shot Genghis Khan's warhorse during battle in 1201 and confessed honestly when captured. Impressed by his candor and lethality, Genghis spared him and renamed him "Jebe" (The Arrow). He rose rapidly to become one of the Khan's four fierce "Dogs of War."

Jebe conquered the Qara Khitai Khanate in 1218 and led the breathtaking 3-year cavalry reconnaissance through Persia, the Caucasus, and the Kievan Rus, culminating in the victory of the Kalka River.
