	At some point between 1217 and 1227, Qulan Gal came into contact with the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins\|Levantine Assassins]]' [[Mentor]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], his wife [[Maria Thorpe]], and their son [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad\|Darim]].

	In ~~August~~ 1227, ~~the four devised a plan to kill the Khan in his camp in [[Xingqing]] in [[Western Xia]].

After Darim slipped into Jochi's tent under the cover of night and [[poison]]ed his drink, Qulan watched the Khan's son succumb to the poison and informed him that his father would be the Assassins' next target.<ref name="Jochi Khan>''[[Assassin's Creed: Memories]]'' – [[Jochi Khan (memory)\|Jochi Khan]]</ref>
	~~[[File:ACRef Mongolian and Levantine Assassins.jpg\|left\|thumb\|250px\|The Assassins attacking Genghis Khan's camp]]~~
	The Assassins devised to flush the Khan out of his tent by setting the Mongol camp ablaze with flaming [[arrow]]s; the plan was successful, and the Khan fled. Pursuing the Khan and his bodyguards with Darim, Qulan acted quickly, killing the soldiers and shooting the Khan's [[horse]], causing him to fall off, which injured him on impact with the ground. Afterwards, Darim shot the conqueror with his crossbow, ending the great Khan.<ref name="TSC"/>

			Six months later, Qulan, Altaïr, Darim, and Maria planned to kill Genghis Khan in his camp in [[Xingqing]] in [[Western Xia]]. While Qulan and Altaïr went into the camp together, Darim and Maria covered them from a distance, respectively with his [[crossbow]] and her [[bow]].<ref name="TSC" /> However, during their infiltration, Altaïr was spotted and attacked by a Mongol soldier. Qulan killed the soldier before he could raise the alarm and carried the injured Mentor into a nearby tent. There, they found the young Assassin [[Nergüi]], who had been captured while scouting the camp.<ref name="ACRef">''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 2\|Issue #02]]</ref>

			As he freed Nergüi, Qulan scolded him for his recklessness but also called him brave and honorable and expressed relief to see him alive. The three Assassins then proceeded to escape the camp and regroup with Darim and Maria on the nearby hill. Despite their position being compromised, the group refused to abandon their mission with the Great Khan so close, and devised another plan to lure him out of his camp and eliminate him.<ref name="ACRef" />

Ögedei had sent an entire {{Wiki\|Tumen (unit)\|tumen}} to reinforce the city, and Nergüi was to assassinate their captain without being detected by the large force. After discreetly killing the captain, Nergüi returned to Qulan and informed him of his success.

	==Behind the ~~Scenes~~==		==Behind the scenes==
			Qulan Gal is a character first mentioned in the 2009 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', as one of seven legendary Assassins with a dedicated statue in the Sanctuary of the Villa Auditore. Outside of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, each of these Assassins have a unique accomplishment in history pertaining to the assassination of a historical figure. In Qulan's case, it was his shooting of Genghis Khan's horse, which resulted in the conqueror's death.

			This event was later depicted in both the 2011 novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]'' and the second issue of the 2017 comic miniseries ''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'', which revealed that Qulan had been assisted during his assassination of Genghis Khan by Altaïr and his family, and that it was Altaïr's son Darim who delivered the killing blow to the Khan.

	At some point between 1217 and 1227, Qulan Gal came into contact with the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins\|Levantine Assassins]]' [[Mentor]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], his wife [[Maria Thorpe]], and their son [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad\|Darim]]. The three had traveled from [[Masyaf]] to eliminate Genghis Khan due to the threat he and his empire posed to the Brotherhood.

	In ~~August~~ 1227, ~~the four devised a plan to kill the Khan in his camp in [[Xingqing]] in [[Western Xia]]. While~~ Qulan ~~Gal~~ and ~~Altaïr went into the camp together,~~ Darim ~~and Maria covered them from a distance, respectively with his~~ [[~~crossbow~~]] ~~and her~~ [[~~bow~~]]~~.<ref name="TSC" /> 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~~ the ~~injured Altaïr out~~ of ~~the camp~~ and ~~also rescued~~ [[~~Nergüi~~]], ~~a young Assassin novice who had been captured while scouting~~ the ~~area.

After Darim slipped into Jochi's tent under the cover of night and [[poison]]ed his drink, Qulan watched the Khan's son succumb to the poison and informed him that his father would be the Assassins' next target.<ref name="Jochi Khan>''[[Assassin's Creed: Memories]]'' – [[Jochi Khan (memory)\|Jochi Khan]]</ref>
	~~[[File:ACRef Mongolian and Levantine Assassins.jpg\|left\|thumb\|250px\|The Assassins attacking Genghis Khan's camp]]~~
	The Assassins devised to flush the Khan out of his tent by setting the Mongol camp ablaze with flaming [[arrow]]s; the plan was successful, and the Khan fled. Pursuing the Khan and his bodyguards with Darim, Qulan acted quickly, killing the soldiers and shooting the Khan's [[horse]], causing him to fall off, which injured him on impact with the ground. Afterwards, Darim shot the conqueror with his crossbow, ending the great Khan.<ref name="TSC"/>

	Later, Qulan and Nergüi bid farewell to Altaïr and his family ~~as they prepared~~ to ride back to Masyaf. Qulan remarked that although he had initially believed an Assassin's strength to ~~lay~~ in their independence and self-reliance, seeing Altaïr, Maria and Darim work so well together had made him change his mind.

			Six months later, Qulan, Altaïr, Darim, and Maria planned to kill Genghis Khan in his camp in [[Xingqing]] in [[Western Xia]]. While Qulan and Altaïr went into the camp together, Darim and Maria covered them from a distance, respectively with his [[crossbow]] and her [[bow]].<ref name="TSC" /> However, during their infiltration, Altaïr was spotted and attacked by a Mongol soldier. Qulan killed the soldier before he could raise the alarm and carried the injured Mentor into a nearby tent. There, they found the young Assassin [[Nergüi]], who had been captured while scouting the camp.<ref name="ACRef">''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 2\|Issue #02]]</ref>

			As he freed Nergüi, Qulan scolded him for his recklessness but also called him brave and honorable and expressed relief to see him alive. The three Assassins then proceeded to escape the camp and regroup with Darim and Maria on the nearby hill. Despite their position being compromised, the group refused to abandon their mission with the Great Khan so close, and devised another plan to lure him out of his camp and eliminate him.<ref name="ACRef" />

			[[File:ACRef Mongolian and Levantine Assassins.jpg\|thumb\|250px\|The Assassins attacking Genghis Khan's camp]]
			After the Assassins set the Mongol camp ablaze with flaming [[arrow]]s, Genghis Khan fled on horseback, accompanied by several guards. Qulan and Darim seized this opportunity and gave chase, with the former using his bow to dispatch all the guards and shoot the Khan's [[horse]], injuring him on impact with the ground. Darim then finished off the defenseless conqueror with his crossbow, but the two Assassins were forced to flee as Mongol reinforcements arrived, leaving behind the Khan's Sword of Eden.<ref name="ACRef" />

			Later, Qulan and Nergüi bid farewell to Altaïr and his family, who were preparing to ride back to Masyaf. Qulan remarked that although he had initially believed an Assassin's strength to lie in their independence and self-reliance, seeing Altaïr, Maria, and Darim work so well together had made him change his mind.
