Borat was born and raised in the village of Kuzcek, [[Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic|Kazakh SSR]] to Maryam Tulyakbay and Boltok the Rapist (who is also stated to be his grandfather, uncle and former father-in-law until the demise of Oksana).<ref>{{cite book |last=Hines |first=Anthony |date=6 November 2007 |title=Borat: Touristic Guidings to Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan |url=https://archive.org/details/borattouristicgu00hine |url-access=registration |publisher=Flying Dolphin Press |isbn=978-0385523462}}</ref> He stated that his mother gave birth to him when she was 10 years old. She is shown as a short old lady (revealed to be 43 years old in 2005) in his 2006 film, where he gives the viewer a guided tour of his hometown. He has a (remarkably well-endowed) 13-year-old son named Hueylewis, 12-year-old twin boys named Bilak and Biram, as well as 17 grandchildren. He has a sister, Natalya, whom at different times he has described as the "number four prostitute in all of Kazakhstan". Another sister who appears to be a very young teenage girl is shown at the beginning of ''Borat's Guide to Britain''. It has been revealed in an interview with a [[general practitioner]] that he caught [[syphilis]] from one of his sisters during a Kazakh folk festival. He also has a younger brother, Bilo, who is [[Intellectual disability|intellectually disabled]] and kept locked in a cage. Bilo was not always disabled and was shown as an average early teenage boy in ''Borat's Guide to Britain''. At some point, Bilo sustained brain damage during an [[exorcism]], when another brother of Borat's tried to release a demon from Bilo through the "traditional Kazakh folk remedy" of opening the skull and sticking the tooth of a red-haired woman in the brain.

Borat's neighbours are [[Nursultan Nazarbayev|Nursultan]] [[Zharmakhan Tuyakbay|Tuyakbay]] (whom Borat considers "a pain in my assholes") and Dr. Yamak, a scientist who works for the Kazakh government and claims to have proven that women have "brain the size of [[squirrel]]". In ''Borat's Guide to Britain'', Borat and Yamak settle a dispute in the traditional Kazakh "civilised way" by [[Red hands|beating each other's genitals with a leather glove until one of them gives up]].

It is unknown how many times Borat has been married, but he has had at least five wives. In ''Borat's Guide to Britain'', he admits to being a [[Polygamy|bigamist]] and has three additional lovers (two of whom he describes as his "mistress" and his "girlfriend" respectively, while he "[[Prostitution|has to pay money]] for" the third). One of his wives (Ludmilla) is said to have been shot by a hunter when he mistook her for a [[bear]] as she ploughed the fields. His bad-tempered, obese former wife, Oksana (who was also his half-sister as they had the same biological father), is reported in the ''Borat'' film to have been attacked, [[Sexual assault|"violated" and "broken"]] by a bear while taking his brother Bilo for a walk in the forest. Borat is not saddened at all by the tragedy. He thanks the man who brings him this "good news" by giving him a [[high five]] and celebrates his new-found freedom by pursuing [[Baywatch]] star [[Pamela Anderson]] and eventually reunites with and marries [[Luenell]], an African-American prostitute he met whilst filming his documentary. In [[Borat Subsequent Moviefilm|the sequel]], Luenell is nowhere to be seen and can be assumed to have either left Borat or died in the fourteen years since the first film. Borat goes on to ask a professional babysitter late in the film to be his "new black wife", to which she politely declines.

According to various in-character interviews with Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat attended [[L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University|Astana University]], where he studied English, journalism and [[Plague (disease)|plague]] research. He created five new plagues which "killed over five million [[goat]]s" in [[Uzbekistan]], the country that he has a strong hatred of.<ref name="CNN_interview">{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/27/becky.borat/index.html|title=When CNN's Becky met Borat|publisher=[[CNN]]|date=28 October 2006|access-date=17 July 2007|archive-date=8 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171108105541/http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/27/becky.borat/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Prior to his plague research, Borat worked as an ice maker, "[[gypsy]]-catcher", "animal-puller" (one who produces [[semen]] from animals) and computer maintenance engineer (specifically removing dead birds which had nested in the vents of computers' casings).<ref name="Jobs">{{cite web|url=http://boratmovieonline.com/careerandskills.php|title=Borat's Career and Skills|website=Borat Movie Online|access-date=17 July 2007|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070930002935/http://boratmovieonline.com/careerandskills.php |archive-date = 30 September 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> He now works as a journalist and announcer on Kazakh television. This job helps Borat and other Kazakhs "express themselves in ways they otherwise would not have been able to do".

Borat mostly speaks English during his reports. His supposed [[Kazakh language]] in some scenes is in fact a mix of [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] and [[Polish language|Polish]] (both of which Baron Cohen has good knowledge of). Borat usually introduces himself with the term "Jagshemash" ("Jak się masz?", meaning "How are you?" in Polish) and ends reports with "Chenquieh"<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jonny the Monkey - #1 Celebrity in all Kazakhstan|url=http://jonnythemonkey.com/|access-date=2021-09-03|website=jonnythemonkey.com|archive-date=11 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411100959/http://jonnythemonkey.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> ("Dziękuję", meaning "Thank you" in Polish). He often uses the phrase "Wa wa wee wa!", an expression of surprised delight which came from a skit by [[Dov Glickman]] on the popular [[Israel]]i comedy show ''[[Zehu Ze!]]''.<ref>{{cite news |title=Secret of Borat's fluent Kazakh – it's Hebrew |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2006/dec/20/israelandthepalestinians |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=20 December 2006 |access-date=19 July 2018 |archive-date=5 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180705004141/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2006/dec/20/israelandthepalestinians |url-status=live }}</ref>

Although nominally [[Paganism|pagan]] most of his life, sometimes remarking that he "follow[s] the [[Flag of Kazakhstan|hawk]]", during his trip to the US, he attends a [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]] church service and later converts his entire village to Christianity, his version of which involves [[Crucifixion|crucifying]] [[Jews]]. Borat is a keen admirer of [[Joseph Stalin]] and claims that both he and Stalin are strong men with powerful "khram" (genitals). He strongly opposes [[women's rights]] and is quite aghast upon learning that in Britain and the US, [[Women's suffrage|women can vote]] while [[horse]]s cannot. He frequently comments that allowing women to vote is like "allowing a [[monkey]] to drive a car". In his spare time, he enjoys playing [[table tennis]] (ping pong), sun-bathing while clad in a lime-green [[Bikini|mankini]], [[disco]] dancing, spitting, sitting on comfortable chairs, shooting dogs and taking pictures of women when they "make a toilet". He also enjoys hunting Jews in his homeland. He is extremely fond of "[[Sexual intercourse|sexy time]]", particularly "[[Oral sex|mouth-party]]" and "[[Handjob|hand-party]]". Borat also states that he "very much like Korki Butchek" (a fictional Kazakh musician).<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.facebook.com/jimmykimmel/videos/borat-premieres-the-new-trailer-for-the-brothers-grimsby/1663583550585407/ |title=Archived copy |website=[[Facebook]] |access-date=1 October 2020 |archive-date=26 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201226212653/https://www.facebook.com/jimmykimmel/videos/borat-premieres-the-new-trailer-for-the-brothers-grimsby/1663583550585407/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
