About Helibo

Lived 1039 – 1092 (aged 52–53). Helibo was a Chinese.

Helibo, alternatively rendered as Horimbo (1039–1092), was a chieftain of the Wanyan tribe, the most dominant among the Jurchen tribes which later founded the Jin dynasty (1115–1234). He was the second son of Wugunai. Like his grandfather, Shilu, Horimbo was appointed chieftain of the Wanyan tribe by the Khitan-led Liao dynasty, which ruled northern China between the 10th and 11th centuries.

In 1145, Horimbo was posthumously honoured with the temple name Shizu (世祖) by his descendant, Emperor Xizong of the Jin dynasty.
