[[File:Dorgon the Black.jpg|thumb|Portrait of Dorgon the Black during his time as Grand Vizier under Emperor [[Huichen]]]]

The dwarf known to history simply as Dorgon was born, according to the scant bibliographical evidence that was not destroyed upon his orders, either in 1280 or 1278 of the Zhong era, which are the conflicting years that are recorded for his sale to the Palace. He is of unknown parentage and his given name was Mu, Dorgon being a princely name bestowed upon him later in life. He was raised as one among dozens by the [[Matron of the Warren]]

He was raised as one among dozens by the [[Matron of the Warren]] and was noted by a quick intellect and a penchant for casual brutality against other kids. The Matron decided to pass him over to the Palace school for training instead of sending him down the servant route. As a dwarf and no natural warrior, he was trained to be a bureaucrat, learned in mathematics, law and governance.
