Houdbaad (Hudbaad, Khudbard) (c. 584-c. 600) was established by khaghan Bayan of the Avars as a puppet khan over the Onogunduri—a federation of Kutrigurs and Utigurs. Houdbaad either died as a result of the plague in 599, or in the Byzantine assault near the Tisza River where the Avars and their allies lost a major battle in 601. After his death Organa became regent of the Onogunduri until Kubrat was old enough to lead them.
