Irbis (fl. 650 or 652) was according to a number of Russian sources the founder of the Khazar Khaganate.[1] The Khazars traced their origin to the Turkic Ashina clan who also founded the Onok Khaganate and Turkic Khaganate in Central Asia.[2]
Peter Golden notes that Chinese and Arabic reports are almost identical, making the connection a strong one, and conjectures that the Khazar leader may have been Irbis Seguy, who lost power or was killed around 651.[3]
