'''Genghis Khan''' or '''Temujin''' is arguably the most [[reproductive success|reproductively successful]] human male to have ever lived. The man was a brutal conqueror, responsible for the deaths of up to 40 million people. Genghis came from a privileged family, but as a boy Genghis's father was killed by a rival tribe, and their family descended into extreme poverty. Ghengis was briefly enslaved and later escaped thanks to the assistance of a poor servant family whom Genghis impressed thru [[beauty|looks]] and or [[Game|behavior]]. Ghengis became hellbent on revenge. Both Hoelun, Genghis's mother , and Genghis's beloved first wife, Borte, were victims of [[bridenapping]]. There are rumors that Genghis was [[cuckold|cuckolded]] by the chief of the rival Merkid clan, during Borte's captivity and that Genghis's oldest son Jochi is not actually Genghis's own. However this is only speculation. In response to the kidnapping of Borte, Genghis raised a raiding party, attacked the Merkid clan and in Genghis's own words "Made an end of the men and their descendants and ravished those that remained". | '''Genghis Khan''' or '''Temujin''' is arguably the most [[reproductive success|reproductively successful]] human male to have ever lived.

Genghis then went on to solidify the rule of all of Mongolia about 20 years later, in middle age.

Genghis Khan was a firm believer in logic, reason, and meritocracy. For example, Genghis killed his older half-brother to establish leadership and dominance within the family, and would recruit top soldiers from other armies. This is in contrast to the Big Man system of the tallest guy gets the job, regardless of ability that was in place at the time, or the kinship system of the Mongols which placed family ties above all else. His rule was just but extremely brutal, with him abolishing torture in his realm, but treating criminals and bandits with the utmost severity. This ''Pax Mongolica'' (mongol peace) thus established in his empire and that of his descendants established trade links that spanned from China to Western Europe. | Genghis Khan was a firm believer in logic, reason, and meritocracy.
