	Genghis Khan - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		Toghril, who had been an ally of Temujin’s father, took the young man under his protection and promised his support, which Temujin was soon to need.
		Temujin appealed for help to Toghril and to Jamuka, a young Mongol chieftain, and together the three were able to defeat the Merkit and rescue Borte.
		Toghril was rewarded for his share in the victory with the Chinese title of wang ('prince'), and thereafter he was known as Ong-Khan ('Ong' is a corruption of wang).

	Genghis Khan (d. 1227)
		He seems to have had nothing else to offer; yet, in exchange; Toghril promised to reunite Temüjin's scattered people, and he is said to have redeemed his promise by furnishing 20,000 men and persuading Jamuka, a boyhood friend of Temüjin's, to supply an army as well.
		When the alliance with Toghril of the Kereit at last broke down and Temüjin had to dispose of this obstacle to supreme power, he dispersed the Kereit people among the Mongols as servants and troops.
		Toghril allowed himself to be manoeuvred by Jamuka's intrigues and by his own son's ambitions and suspicions into outright war against Temüjin, and he and his Kereit people were destroyed.
