Hülegü Khan (c. 1217 – 8 February 1265) 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 Hülegü's command attacked various Assassin fortresses along the Levant, in vengeance of Genghis Khan's murder at the hands of the Syrian Assassin Darim Ibn-La'Ahad and the Mongolian Assassin Qulan Gal.

In August 1257, Hülegü led a siege on the Assassins' headquarters in Masyaf, hoping to ultimately destroy the Assassins. However, Masyaf was nearly abandoned by the Assassin Order, and the remaining Assassins fled to different locations around the globe before the siege ended.
