 The new khan, despite owing his throne to the Dughlats, was a man of strong character and maintained effective control of Moghulistan.He also converted to Islam, an act that was copied by the Dughlats (one of whom, Amir Tulik, had been secretly converted even before the khan's adoption of the faith).Under Tughlugh Timur, both amirs Tuluk and Bulaji had held the office of "ulus beg".
