In 575 Istämi was followed by Tardu. By 575/76 Tamgan held some kind of power in the far west around the Volga River. He was probably Tardu's younger brother. Relations with the Byzantine Empire Because of the geographic position of his region, Tamgan was responsible in diplomatic relations with Byzantine Empire.
