- "[Me] and Qulan Gal had planned to infiltrate the Mongolian camp. It was said that Khan was there, too."
- ―Altaïr, reporting on the assassination.[src]
The assassination of Genghis Khan was an event during the High Middle Ages in which Darim Ibn-La'Ahad, with the help of his family and the Assassin Qulan Gal, brought down and killed Genghis Khan.
Journey to Mongolia
- "Altaïr suspected that Genghis Khan's progress might have been helped by another artefact, similar to the Apple. Perhaps the Sword. He needed to establish whether this was the case, as well as to stop Khan's inexorable march."
- ―Niccolò Polo on Altaïr's motives.[src]
Preparing for his trip to the East, Altaïr left the leadership of the Assassin Order in the hands of Malik, supported by Sef to fend off any affairs. Then he took Maria Ibn-La'Ahad and his son Darim Ibn-La'Ahad, and left Masyaf, traveling through Persia, India and Mongolia, eventually arriving at the Mongolian camp in the Xia province. Throughout this journey, the Ibn-La'Ahad family had liaised with the Assassin Qulan Gal, with whom they eventually broke into the Mongolian camp where Khan was supposedly situated.[1]
Altaïr thought that Genghis Khan possessed a Piece of Eden, possibly the Sword, which he used to power his unstoppable march of the Mongol army.[1]
The Assassination
While Altaïr and Qulan made their way through the tents, Darim found a vantage point not far from the camp, where he watched over the other Assassins. There, going through the heavily guarded area, the two relied on Darim to dispose of any guards that were about to raise the alarm, so that the they could safely reach Khan. However, as Altaïr was already an aged man, he almost alerted the Mongolians of their presence. It was Qulan Gal who saved him; Altaïr, becoming unwary and clumsy with age, had let an enemy soldier come up to him and wound him, before Qulan Gal killed the Mongol guard. Then, Qulan escorted Altaïr out of the camp, bringing the Master to safety.[1]
Moments after that, Qulan formulated a plan with Darim, in order to flush Khan out of his tent and create an assassination opportunity. Genghis Khan, however, was already aware of the threat posed by the Assassins and tried to escape on horseback, where he was brought down first by Qulan, and then finished off by Darim.[1]
