Genghis Khan (c. 1162 – 1227) was a Mongolian warlord, born by the name of Temujin. He was the son of a tribal leader Esukhei and his queen Oelun, though he became an outcast after his father's death. Temujin united the Mongol tribes and marched on China's border. He conquered much of central Asia, southern Russia, the Middle East, and parts of Eastern Europe. He founded the Mongol Empire, which he reigned 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 the Sword. He, his wife, Maria, and his son, Darim, traveled to Mongolia with the intentions to assassinate Genghis Khan. In 1227, the Assassin Qulan Gal shot Genghis Khan's horse, causing the warlord to fall off. Immediately following, he was finished with a shot from a crossbow by Darim Ibn-La'Ahad.[1]
Genghis' grandson, Hülegü Khan, destroyed most of the Assassins' strongholds in the Levant after a failed assassination attempt in 1256 and effectively destroyed the Syrian Assassins' power.[2]
