Tolui

Tolui (also rendered Toluy, c. 1190–1232) was the youngest son of Genghis Khan by Börte. His ulus, or territorial inheritance, at his father's death in 1227 was the homelands in Mongolia, and it was he who served as civil administrator in the time it took to confirm Ögedei as second khan. Before that, he had served with distinction in the campaigns against the Jin and the Khwarezmid Empire.
When Genghis Khan was deciding who should succeed him he had trouble choosing between Tolui and Ogodei. This was because Tolui had amazing military skills and was very successful as a general but Genghis Khan chose Ogodei for a reason. Ogodei, in comparison with Tolui, was more capable politically. Genghis Khan didn't choose Tolui because he thought that he was too "hot-headed" to lead the Mongolian empire and also because he was a drunkard. Although Ogodei was also a drunkard, he wasn't as much of a drunkard as Tolui. This may have been the main reason why Ogodei was chosen over Tolui.
Perhaps more important is the role his family, the Toluids, had in shaping the destinies of the Mongol Empire. Through his wife Sorghaghtani Beki, Tolui fathered Möngke, Kubilai, Ariq Boke, and Hulagu, and thus was the progenitor of the last of the great Khans, the Yuan Dynasty of China, and of the Il Khans.
Rivalry between the Toluids and the sons of Ögedei and Jöchi caused the stagnation and infighting during the regency periods after the deaths of Ogedei and his son Güyük.
However, it was a rivalry from among Tolui's own sons—that of Kubilai and Arik Boke—that fragmented the power of the empire and set the western khanates against each other in the early 1260s.de:Tolui Khan fa:تولی he:טולוי
