Modu (冒頓; c. 234 BCE – 174 BCE) was the chanyu of the Xiongnu who was chiefly responsible for their rise to power as a nomadic empire on the steppes north of China.[1] Years prior to his ascension, he was sent to the Qin as a political hostage amidst the Xiongnu incursions into China.[2] He succeeded his father Touman after having him assassinated on a hunting trip.[3]
