Bagdad Katun was first married to Hasan Buzurg, the future founder of the Jalayirid dynasty. During the 1320s she caught the eye of the Ilkhan Abu Sa'id, who became infatuated with her despite her marital status; this did not please Coban. After Coban and his scions were killed or exiled in 1327, Hasan Buzurg divorced her in favor of Abu Sa'id. She gained influence over him, attaining the position of Kodavandgar (great lord). Using her power, she prevented the marriage of Coban's widow Korducin to Ghiyath ud-Din of Herat, her father's murderer. She also managed to gain respectful treatment of her stepmother Sati Beg, and Sati's son Surgan.

During her marriage with Abu Sa'id, various rumors of her partaking in conspiracies against the Ilkhan emerged. Speculation that she plotted with Hasan Buzurg in 1331/2 were dismissed.

Whether she had him killed or not remains a mystery; in any case, she was charged with his murder by Arpa Ke'un, as well as with inviting Ozbek Khan of the Golden Horde to invade Persia.
