Khara Khula
Khara Khula was a chief of the Choros tribe of the Oirats who built up a power base in the steppe between the Altai Mountains and the Ili River in the early seventeenth century. Leading Oirat resistance against the Khalkha Mongols of the Altan Khan line, he laid the foundations of the Dzungar Khanate, which his son Erdeni Batur organised after his death in 1634.
