- "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. He sweeps across the lands, conquering and subsuming all who stand in his way."
- ―Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex, page 29.[src]
Genghis Khan (c. 1162 – 1227) was a Mongolian warlord. 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 Piece of Eden, presumably one of the Swords. Altaïr, his wife Maria, and his son Darim traveled to Mongolia with the intentions to assassinate Genghis Khan.[1]
In 1227, the Assassin Qulan Gal shot Genghis Khan's horse with a bow and arrow, causing the warlord to fall off. Immediately following, he was finished with a shot from a crossbow by Darim Ibn-La'Ahad.[1]
Genghis Khan's grandson, Hulagu Khan, destroyed most of the Assassin strongholds in the Levant after a failed attempt on his life in 1256; effectively erasing the Levantine Assassins' power.[2]
