Also known as Hachiun's grandson, Abkan

- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 96
His name carries the weight of an old lineage, and the sparse record leaves him surrounded by the wide, quiet distance of the Mongol frontier. He feels like a figure whose importance is measured less in personal display than in the loyalties gathered around him.

Hatan, grandson of Hachiun and a kinsman of Chinghiz Khan, held an ordo beside Nayan’s across the Amur. He joined Nayan’s league in rebellion against Kúblái, and in 1288 princes under his command threatened the provinces beyond the wall. Kúblái sent his grandson Teimur against them; after two days of fighting on the River Kweilei, the rebels were decisively defeated. The account records his place in the revolt, but offers no further personal detail.
Description
The text gives no physical description of Hatan, so his appearance cannot be established from the available account. No reliable details are supplied for his height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, clothing, or distinguishing marks. Any portrait should leave these particulars open rather than assign him invented traits.
