Baiju
Baiju was a Mongol general who succeeded Chormaqan as commander of the Mongol forces in north-western Iran about 1242. In 1243 he defeated the Seljuk sultan Kaykhusraw II at the Battle of Köse Dağ, making the Sultanate of Rum a Mongol vassal. He continued to lead Mongol armies in Anatolia and the Caucasus and took part in Hulagu's campaign against Baghdad in 1258.
