Wikipedia description:
Toqto’a (courtesy name Dayong, also known as The Great Historian Tuotuo; 1314–1356) was a high-ranking minister and an official historian of the Yuan dynasty of China. He was the author of three of the Twenty-Four Histories, writing the History of Liao, the History of Jin, and the History of Song (the three predecessor Chinese states to the Yuan dynasty). Later in life, he was falsely accused, banished, and murdered. Losing him, the Yuan court might have lost its last chance to defeat the Red Turban Rebellion, which started in the early 1350s against their rule. He was Bayan's nephew.
