Oulatay arrives with the gravity of a baron and the ceremony of an envoy, accompanied by a notably gallant company. His measured, official purpose gives him an air of importance, while the account leaves the man beneath the title largely veiled.

Oulatay is one of the three barons Argon sends as ambassadors to the Great Kaan, with a gallant company in attendance. Their mission is to bring back a bride from the family of Queen Bolgana. The narrative records his diplomatic role but gives little sense of his private character or subsequent life.
Description
Oulatay is identified as a baron and ambassador, but the text does not describe his specific appearance. His height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, and distinguishing marks remain unknown. His rank suggests formal attire, though no particular clothing is specified; his defining visual impression is that of a dignified envoy among a gallant company.
