Some of the most fearsome rulers through history have possessed only a fragment of the Cintamani Stone. Men like Tamerlane, Genghis Khan...
Genghis Khan, as he appears as a selectable skin in Uncharted 2's multiplayer mode.
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.

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.
