Mainly based on Muizz al-Ansab and Persian chronicles, the author concludes as follows:1. The Chaku Barlas family sprang from Shirgha, the sixth son of Qarachar Noyan, the famous advisor of Chaghatai Khan.2. For four generations after Qarachar, the family played no important roles in the Chaghatai Khanate.3. The situation changed in the time of Chaku, the fifth descendant of Qarachar.4. Since Chaku was one of the intimate companions of Timur even from the latters bandit days, he was promoted to commander in chief and holder of the office of tuvachi in 1370 when Timur established himself as master of Mavarannahr.5. An analysis of the list of high officers in 1370 shows a fact that people were promoted to high offices not because of their tribal bonds with Timur, but because of their personal services rendered to Timur.6. After Chaku the members of the family held in succession such high ranks and offices as amir al-umara, amir-i tuman and tuvachi in the courts of the Timurids and were in possession of fiefs in Northern Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and Fars.7. In that sense, we may call Chaku the founder of a new aristocratic family in the Timurids.
