YMMV / The Mongols

• Complete Monster: Ögedei is a man defined by his perpetual lust for war and the bloodthirsty legacy his father Genghis Khan has left him. When his father attempts to make peace with Europe, Ögedei sabotages the effort, slaughtering his own allies just to make his Frame-Up of the local Polish ambassador seem more convincing. Under Ögedei's command, countless hundreds are processed to the dungeons to be tortured to death, hundreds of thousands more are slaughtered as Ögedei leaves entire cities behind him as ruins, and eventually he forsakes conquering Poland for the option of annihilating it out of spite. Even after his father dies and he's left to caretake his legacy, Ögedei admits he only cares about what he himself wants in the end, and he dies after his dreams of conquering the world and drowning it in blood are dashed.
