Shakuni also known as Saubala He is the main antagonist in the epic Mahabharata. He was the brother of Gandhari and hence Duryodhana’s maternal uncle. His Children

Uluka, Vrikaasur, Patatri and Vriprachitti.

In the Mahabharata, Shakuni’s hatred towards Hastinapura developed when Bhishma approached King Subala with a marriage proposal for Shakuni’s sister Gandhari’s, to the blind Kaurava prince Dhritarashtra. Shakuni hated the idea of Gandhari’s marriage with the blind prince of Hastinapura. Gandhari covered her eyes on her will to share her blindness. Shakuni’s anger grew when Dhritarashtra was first denied to inherit the throne of Hastinapura. After the event, Shakuni started to interfere in the matters of Hastinapura.

In a non-Mahabharata version, it is said that, being a Mangalik, Gandhari was married to a tree (some say a goat) prior to her marriage to Dhritarashtra, in order to nullify the defect. On hearing of this, a disgusted Dhritarashtra ordered the extermination of Gandhara’s royal line. Shakuni, his father, Subala and Subala’s other hundred sons were captured and put in a prison. One grain was served to every person. Knowing that Shakuni was the smartest, Subala and his 99 sons sacrificed their lives and provided their share of grain to Shakuni. Later, they all died and Shakuni vowed to destroy Hastinapura.
