My Namesake - Part 2 - Genghis

As promised at Part 1, here is a little info on my namesake.
As you all know, my name is Genghis.
I was named for Genghis Khan (1162–1227),
leader and unifier of the Mongolian people.

He was born Temujin and was the founder, Khan (ruler)
and posthumously declared Khagan (emperor) of the
Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous empire in history.

Temujin came to power by uniting many of the nomadic
tribes of north-east Asia. After founding the Mongol
Nation and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan", he pursued
an aggressive foreign policy by starting the Mongol
invasion of East Asia and Central Asia. During his life,
the Mongol Empire eventually occupied most of Asia.

Temujin died of unknown causes in 1227 after a campaign
to subjugate the Xi Xia and Jin dynasties in China. He
was buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in his native
Mongolia. His descendants went on to stretch the Mongol
Empire across most of Eurasia, conquering all of modern-
day China and Mongolia, as well as substantial portions
of modern Russia, southern Asia, Eastern Europe and the
Middle East.

That being said, that is little consolation for the ones
who were brutally killed by Genghis Khan and his Horde.
