Gúgah feels like a figure accustomed to the quiet machinery of power: present at the center of affairs, yet not given to spectacle. His importance is suggested by his office and by the family name he carries forward.

Gúgah is introduced as Hulákú’s Chief Secretary, a man whose position places him close to the workings of authority. The account identifies him as Bulughan’s father, giving his brief mention a familial dimension as well as an official one. Beyond these facts, the text leaves his personal story and character unrecorded.

Description

The text identifies Gúgah as an adult man and Chief Secretary but offers no physical portrait. His height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, and clothing are not specified, so a faithful depiction should leave these details open. His title suggests a formal presence, but no particular manner or distinguishing feature is described.
