Bagha Qaghan was the seventh ruler (587–589) of the Turkic Kaganate.[1] He may have been [2] the 'great kaghan' that was killed with an arrow by Persian commander Bahrām Chobin during First Perso-Turkic War. He is given as Chǔluóhóu (处罗侯) in Chinese records, and as Šāwa, Sāva, or Sāba in Sasanian-based sources.[3] He was hunchback.[4]
