'''Qulan Gal''' was an [[Assassins|Assassin]] of the [[Mongolian Assassins|Mongolian Brotherhood]]. He was Robin Hood's Mentor and he play a important role in the [[assassination of Genghis Khan]] alongside [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Qulan Gal was a member of the Assassin Order, operating mainly in Mongolia. He was a renowned toxophilite, with his skill in [[Archers|archery]] later being hailed by the Order.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

During the early 13th century, the conqueror [[Genghis Khan]] caused turmoil in Mongolia, quickly overtaking land with a [[Swords of Eden|Sword of Eden]]. As a result of Genghis Khan's tyranny, Qulan Gal swore to stand against him, and was later integral in Genghis's assassination.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Assassination of Genghis Khan===
At some point during 1217 and 1227, Qulan Gal came into contact with the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]], [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], his wife [[Maria Thorpe|Maria]] and his son Darim.<ref name="TSC">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref>

In 1227, the four of them devised a plan to assassinate Genghis Khan in his camp in [[Xingging]] near Xia Province. While Qulan Gal and Altaïr went into the camp together, Darim covered them from a distance with his crossbow. However, Altaïr unknowingly allowed himself to be seen and was attacked by a Mongol soldier, though Qulan killed the Mongol before he could raise the alarm. From there, Qulan safely escorted Altaïr out of the camp and proceeded to compose another plan with Darim.<ref name="TSC"/>

Qulan and Darim then devised to flush Khan out of his tent, and the latter did so after realizing the danger. Qulan Gal acted quickly and shot Khan's [[Horses|horse]], causing him to fall off, which injured him on impact with the ground. Afterwards, Darim shot the conqueror with his crossbow, finishing Khan off.<ref name="TSC"/> During the assassination, Qulan rescued the imprisoned Assassin apprentice [[Nergüi]], who would later go on to assassinate Hülegü Khan, Genghis Khan's grandson.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Memories]]''</ref>

==Legacy==
Qulan Gal's role in the assassination of Genghis Khan, which allowed the Assassin Order to spread its influence,<ref name="TSC"/> earned Qulan Gal great praise, so much so that a statue of him was built in his honor in the [[Sanctuary]] underneath the [[Villa Auditore]] in [[Monteriggioni]], [[Italy]].<ref name="AC2"/>

By the time of the [[Renaissance]], Qulan Gal's sarcophagus had been moved to the [[Rocca di Ravaldino]] in [[Forlì]], [[Italy]]. The Assassin [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] explored Qulan's tomb and took the seal from his sarcophagus, which helped the former acquire the [[Armor of Altaïr]].<ref name="AC2"/>
