Zahir ud-din Muhammad Babur more commonly known as Babur,was a military adventurer from Central Asia who rose to power at Kabul after establishing his first kingdom in 1504. From there he built an army and conquered nearby regions until 1526, when he invaded the Lodi Afghan Empire of South Asia and laid the basis for the Mughal Empire.

Babur was a descendant of Timur through his father, and Genghis Khan through his mother. He identified his lineage as Timurid and Chaghatay-Turkic, while his origin was steeped in Persian culture.
