The most famous European to serve in the Kublai government was probably Marco Polo (1254-1324). In the book, The Travels of Marco Polo, Polo is said to have served as a government official under the Mongolian ruler of China, Kublai Khan.
According to the book, Polo served under Kublai Khan for two decades; however, scholars disagree on the truthfulness of The Travels of Marco Polo, as Polo may have collected stories he heard from other travelers and passed them off as his own.
It is possible that Polo actually served under Kublai Khan; Kublai was visited by several Europeans during his reign in China.
