Girgen Khan is a mounted archer hero in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. He is available in the Scenario Editor.
Though the unit is visually unique, it operates identically to a Cavalry Archer, albeit with higher armor, attack, range and health. Like all hero units, it cannot be converted and regenerates health. He has a special model which he shares with Shaybani Khan.
