Jani Beg
During his time as ruler, Malek became increasingly violent and quickly grew unpopular with many of his subjects. This, combined with the spread of the bubonic plague in the region, prompted many citizens to leave the area. His hated rule was finally ended when Jani Beg of the Golden Horde invaded in 1357. Malek fled, but was captured and hung in Tabriz, to the joy of the local populace. Malek's mother and children were taken by Jani Beg upon his departure from the region. His son Temürtas was killed by Hasan Buzurg's successor Shaikh Uvais in 1360, while his daughter Soltanbakt was mentioned as having been in Shiraz. Malek's death signified the end of Chobanid rule in Persia.
