{{Quote|A dark tide rises to the east – an army of such size and power that all the land is made quick to worry. Their leader is a man named Temujin, who has adopted the title Genghis Khan.

'''Genghis Khan''' (c. 1162 – 1227) was a [[Mongols|Mongolian]] king. He founded the Mongol Empire, which he ruled from 1206 until his death in 1227.

The [[Mentor]] leading the [[Levantine Assassins]], [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], suspected Genghis Khan to wield a [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]], presumably one of the [[Swords of Eden|Swords]]. Altaïr, his wife [[Maria Thorpe|Maria]], and his son [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad|Darim]] traveled to Mongolia with the intentions to assassinate Genghis Khan.<ref name="The Secret Crusade">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref>

In 1227, the Assassin [[Qulan Gal]] shot Genghis Khan's horse with a [[Bow|bow and arrow]], causing the warlord to fall off.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

Genghis Khan's grandson, [[Hulagu Khan]], [[Fall of Masyaf|destroyed]] most of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] strongholds in the {{Wiki|Levant}} after a failed attempt on his life in 1256; effectively erasing the Levantine Assassins' power.<ref name="Encyclopedia">''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]''</ref>
