**Anjikhin** is the Khatun of the Khuzait Khanate, and the head of the Nezakit clan.

## Background

### Early Life

Anjikhin was born as a middle child to an unremarkable noble family that nonetheless claimed to be related to the Urkhunait clan through distant family ties. Not expected to achieve much, given her position, she was sent away once she entered adulthood to lead a host of riders loyal to her clan, and was expected to remain in that lowly position until she met her end as a nameless casualty of some raid on Imperial territory.

However, she proved to be an adept leader, and quickly gained the support of the soldiers under her command. Through a careful series of manipulations, the deaths of her siblings, and the gathering of support from the armies of the Nezakit clan, she eventually rose to overthrow her own kin, and take leadership of the clan for herself.

### Later Life

After the disastrous loss of Baltakhand, Anjikhin began to see that the Khanate would soon be undergoing a great series of change. Intending to take advantage of those changes, she began to position herself politically in a closer position to Khan Monchug. From there, she began to gather support from the Khan's armies, spreading rumors that the Khan's inability to lead his armies was due to him losing the Mandate of Heaven, and thus the right to rule.

Eventually, these rumors reached their breaking point after the Southern Imperials and Aserai took yet more land from the Khanate, and it was at this point she positioned herself publicly against the Khan. Moving south to make the appearance of consolidating her forces for battle, the Khan attempted to move north with his armies and reclaim Baltakhand in order to save his reign. However, the Khan's own guards turned against Monchug Khan, and delivered him to Anjikhin. With Monchug imprisoned, she was declared Khatun of the Khuzaits.

## Accomplishments

A shrewd and competent commander the Khatun has consolidated her power on and off the field.

* She led the armies of the Khanate against the Sturgian hosts, and managed to drive them all the way back to the captured city of Baltakhand. Taking to siege, the Khatun's armies managed to drive the Sturgians all the way to the cities center, only to be defeated by the garrison at the last moment. In response, the Khatun led what remained of her armies, and claimed the Sturgian fortress of Urikskala.
* Following the Northern Empire's attempt to siege the Khanate's capital of Makeb, the Khatun led her armies to encircle the Citizen Legions of the Empire in the marshes around Epinosa Castle. Despite their valiant effort, the Legions were unable to withstand the encirclement, and were cut down, their bodies left floating in the shallow waters of the marsh.
* Working alongside the Sultan of the Aserai and the Regent of Battania, Anjikhin led her forces against the Southern Empire at the formerly Khuzait controlled fortress of Akiser. Seeing early success in surrounding the legions of the South, the Khatun's forces taken aback, managed to regroup and continue their push and achieve victory.
