The historical Kublai Khan (1215-1294) was the fifth khan of the Mongol Empire and founder of the Yuan Dynasty in China (1269-1368). The grandson of Genghis Khan, Kublai opted to extend his rule primarily through administrative means, rather than the through the military conquests his grandfather was so famous for.
