Arghun

Arghun is chieftain of the Gray Horse Arshaum clan. A wily general and wise, just leader, he is the father of Dizabul (his younger son) and Arigh (his elder son). He sends Arigh to Videssos as a diplomatic envoy, and later recieves the embassies of Videssos and Yezd.

After Arghun decides to ally with Videssos, Bogoraz attempts to poison him with hemlock, but the quick attentions of Gorgidas save the Khagan's life. Arghun moves the Gray Horse along with contingents from many lesser clans south and east towards Yezd, and the force engages in battle with Varatesh's outlaws on the Pardrayan steppe.

The Arshaum are victorious, using a rain of frogs to frighten the Khamorth army into a route, but Avshar conjures a demon and sends it to successfully kill Arghun.
