Hulagu Khan (c. 1217 – 8 February 1265), also known as Hülegü Khan, was a Mongol ruler who conquered much of southwest Asia. He was the grandson of Genghis Khan and a brother of Kublai Khan.
In 1256, Mongol forces under Hulagu's command attacked various Assassin fortresses along the Levant, in vengeance of Genghis Khan's murder at the hands of the Levantine Assassin Darim Ibn-La'Ahad and the Mongolian Assassin Qulan Gal.
In August 1257, Hulagu led a siege on the Levantine Assassins' headquarters in Masyaf, hoping to ultimately destroy the Assassins. However, Masyaf was abandoned by the Assassin Order, and the remaining Assassins fled to different locations around the globe before the siege ended.
