Holagou Khan emerges as the grandson of Zingis, brother and lieutenant to both Mangou and Cublai, whose conquests reshaped the map of Asia. As the extirpator of the Assassins, he commanded vast armies and threatened to march on Constantinople itself, inspiring groundless panic among the Greeks. His campaigns against Persia and Baghdad marked him as one of the most formidable figures of the Mongol expansion.
Description
A broad-shouldered and imposing Mongol conqueror with dark hair and beard, dressed in ornate royal armor layered with silk robes. His presence is commanding and formidable, the bearing of one who leads hundreds of thousands into battle.
