Suvankul is a strong father who has infused his soul with loyalty to his soil and labor. His path crossed with Tolgonay during the years when, possessing no wealth, he swung a sickle with only his bare strength. Throughout his life, he has been a pioneer of the village; although older, he learned to read and write from his children and earned the title of the man who brought the first tractor to the kolkhoz. As a leader who sows seeds in the field, Suvankul instills trust in the workers in every difficulty. On the day the war breaks out, he does not hesitate to sign up for the front despite his age. He loses his life while fighting for his country in the great Eletz battles, leaving behind his honorable legacy and the void he left for his family.
He came to Tolgonay's village from Upper Talas to work. In his early youth, he was a young reaper who had nothing to wear but an old caftan on his bare shoulders, but whose arms were as strong as cast bronze. Despite growing up uneducated, he was able to rise to the leadership of his village with his innate intelligence and wisdom.
At nineteen, a man with a wind-burnt, copper-colored face tanned by the scorching sun, high cheekbones, and calloused hands as heavy as iron and shoulders like cast bronze, despite his lean appearance. In his middle age, silver hairs began to fall onto his black mustache in rebellion.
