{{Topquote | Always listen for the Rhythm of the Battlefield. All soldiers in a fight take their turns to play their peace. We Astartes are the masters of the instruments of war, and can adjust to the tempo of the battle while continuing to play our piece. When taking cover, or stop for any reason you may think you are adjusting the tempo. You are not, instead you are forfeiting your role, and allowing the opponent to play his part instead.|Jaghatai Khan, Index Skythae}}

Jaghatai was still found on the Steppe world of Chorgoris, but given the sheer multitude of tribes that populate the region, and tribes being nations and cultures in of themselves, who found and raised the primarch might as well make him from a different country altogether. In this case he was found by one Zira Halime, wife of the Chieftan of the Qoqdunluk tribe. The Qoqdunluk were wealthy nomads, who owned numerous goats, sheep and horses, making their wealth salvaging the ruined citties of the old world and trading them with the other nomads and settlers. Jaghatai still conquered the world of Chorgoris, but the more scholarly and mercantile Jaghatai did so through diplomacy and more prudent tactics. Uniting the tribes under an intricate web of blood pacts, marriages, favors, and religious oaths, he brought The Palatine kingdom to its knees by cutting off its supplies to necessary goods, drawing the armies out in foolhardy salliies, and waiting for civil war and intrigue to open the doors of the city for him. Convinced the settlement weakened man to corruption, he dismantled Palatine into several tributary towns, and doing likewise for other metropolises.

During the great crusade Jaghatai Khan took to the Void like few others, seeing the Flotilla as the new caravan, where mankind could at last be free from the shackles of the settlement. He also fostered his own decentralized management style, encouraging the White scars to break apart and reform themselves under "tribes." The Khan developed a strong but strange friendship with Roboute Gulliman. The two statesmen primarchs developed a friendly rivalry and saw each as the best counter to their own prefered philosophy. The two regularly sparred over tactics and administration of planets, trying to settle the Settler vs Nomad debate through their own handiwork.

When the treachery of Lorgar swept through the Imperium, Jaghatai Khan was trapped in the network of lies and miscommunications of the Segmentum obscurus. In particular spent much of the treachery in void battles against Nagoya Khan and Luther. Seeing that two of his brothers: Magnus and Gulliman were trapped in seiges on their homeworlds he rescued magnus first Unfortunately by the time he was able to rescue magnus from The Wolf and Luther, it was already too late for Gulliman. Maccragge was destroyed, Ultramar enslaved by Chaos, and Roboute himself tortured and executed. The descision haunts the Khan to this day. Perhaps hoping to honor his memory, it was Jaghatai Khan who collected The Thirteenth Primarch's writings, notes, and his own memory of past debates. The result of his work was "The Codex Astartes" a guide that has just as much of The Khan's emphasis on Loose tribal federations, as it does Gulliman's rigorous demands on the astartes.

Under the regency government, Jaghatai serves as "Keeper of The Book" and with his legion inspects and resolves disputes among the Cultus Astartes (Those Space Marines who follow the codex as independent chapters). Jaghatai was also one of the most vocal proponents of revising the Imperial truth, many suspecting because of his own secretly held religious beliefs.
