- "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, with the birth name of Temujin. He was the son of a tribal leader named 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, where 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 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]
