# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Ariq Böke was born around 1219, the seventh and youngest son of Tolui and a grandson of Genghis Khan. After his brother the Great Khan Möngke died, Ariq Böke claimed the title and briefly took power while his brothers Kublai and Hulagu were absent from the Mongolian Plateau. When Kublai returned for an election in 1260, rival factions refused to agree and elected both men, launching the Toluid Civil War that fragmented the empire. Ariq Böke drew support from the traditionalists of the Mongol heartland; Kublai held the senior princes of North China and Manchuria. He died in 1266.
