This particular sword, designed like a saber, was notably wielded by two leaders of the Mongol Empire.

History
The Sword of Eden was created by Hephaestus, "the maker", during the Isu Era to bring about the end of the War of Unification.[1]
By the early 13th century, the Sword was in possession of Genghis Khan, a Mongol warlord, who led his Empire through mass expansions into the West. By 1217, the Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, correctly suspected Genghis Khan of wielding the Sword.[3] Thus, Altaïr, his wife Maria and their son Darim traveled to Mongolia intending to assassinate Khan and retrieve the Piece of Eden. In 1227, Darim and the Mongolian Assassin Qulan Gal killed Genghis Khan.[4][5]
However, the artifact remained in Mongol hands, and Genghis Khan's grandson Hülegü Khan used it in his conquests of the Levant during the 1250s, notably during his attacks on the Assassin strongholds in Alamut and Masyaf.[2]
