Biography[edit | edit source]

In August 1259, Asutai followed his father during his campaign against the Song dynasty during the Siege of Diaoyu Castle. Following his father's assassination by the Chinese Assassin Zhang Zhi, Asutai discovered Möngke's body next to one of his commanders, Bayan, who had passed out after being wounded and poisoned by Zhi. Asutai tended to Bayan and, once the latter woke up, commended him for his efforts to protect his father, even if he had failed. He then informed Bayan of his plan to lie to their men that Möngke had died from an illness, and invited the commander to help him lay his father's body to rest.[2]

On their march to Burkhan Khaldun, Asutai led the Kheshig and spoke to Bayan, whose skills and resilience impressed him. He explained to the commander how he and his father had joined the Templars. While traversing beside the Black River, he also revealed how the Templars used war as a tactic for their vision and offered Bayan a place in both the Kheshig and the Templar Order. After giving Bayan some time to think, Asutai spoke with him again during Möngke's funeral, where Bayan decided to accept his offer.[3]
