Some of the most fearsome rulers through history have possessed only a fragment of the Cintamani Stone. Men like Tamerlane, Genghis Khan...
Genghis Khan was the founder and the emperor of the Mongol Empire. Within the Uncharted series, Khan appears as a single-player skin in the single-player mode of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, as well as a villain skin in multiplayer mode of the game and its sequel, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
Overview[]
Genghis Khan is an anthropomorphic skeleton, who wears a special piece of headgear, along with a set of bronze shoulder-pads and ragged cloth.
In Uncharted 2, his skin lacks voice. However, in Uncharted 3, he shares the same voice as Lieutenant Draza.
Events of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves[]
Genghis Khan, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot... They were all great men. But do you know why they prevailed? [...] Because they had the will to do what other men would not.
Genghis Khan is mentioned twice during the events of Among Thieves; in his first meeting with Nathan Drake during Chapter 16, Karl Schäfer uses Khan as an example for one of the few powerful nation leaders to have obtained only a fragment of the Cintamani Stone, alongside fellow conqueror Tamerlane.
He is then briefly mentioned again in Chapter 24, with Zoran Lazarević mentioning him as an example of a 'great man' who managed to prevail due to him having the will to kill and ignore compassion and mercy.
Availability[]
Single-player[]
Players are required to complete Uncharted 2 on the "Crushing" difficulty level in order to unlock the skin; he will be available for free once the task is completed.
Multiplayer[]
In Uncharted 2, players are required to complete the game on "Crushing" in order to unlock Khan for purchase. Once the task is completed, Khan will be available for $1,500,000, as a Villain skin.

Trivia[]
- Genghis Khan is one of five anthropomorphic skeleton skins in Uncharted 2 multiplayer (the others being Marco Polo, Skelzor, Glowzor and Platzor).
- Due to him being having no voice in Uncharted 2, Genghis Khan is a good choice for stealth.
- Along with the other skeletons, his bones make a slight clanking noise as they move.
