Temüjin (born 1597 AN in Ghawlama, died 1696 AN aged 99 AN years) was the Khan of Lontinien (1685–1696) and leader of the Lontinian People's Party. He was the co-ruler of the Hurmu Trust Territory (with Salome, Princess of Hurmu) until the reunfication of Hurmu in 1690. A native Jawnetka, Temüjin was born with Elwynnese citizenship (as Hurmu at that time was part of Elwynn, only to secede shortly later). His father was a local chieftain, and his mother a yurt maker. Temüjin was given a traditional upbringing until 1606 when he was separated from his parents when Ghawlama was brought under Jingdaoese rule.
Temüjin, now aged 11, was taken to a boarding school where he learnt the Jingdaoese language and studied the curriculum of the Heavenly Light. His parents had fled to outside the city, territory now under Cheltia. Due to the Jingdaoese border controls, it was impossible for him to meet with his parents until 1615, when Jingdao evacuated its presence in Ghawlama. He was unable however to acquire residency in the Cheltian areas (now part of Toketi, Gralus), and had to stay in the lawless city of Ghawlama. Several new tribes were formed, and Temüjin became the leader of one of the city tribes of Ghawlama, the Ghawetka, which ruled the harbour areas of Ghawlama and managed to keep control of imports and exports by sea/river.
In 1618, he married Altandöl. A daughter, Chimeg, was born in 1620. She died from polio in 1624 due to the lack of medical facilities. His wife, Altandöl, killed herself in grief in 1626. Temüjin took a vow of celibacy and joined a street monastic order.
In 1627, Jingdao returned, and all tribal conflicts were brought to an end. Several of the tribes bonded together, initially to fight off the Jingdaoese, but were quickly subdued. Thanks to his fluent Jingdaoese, Temüjin's life was spared, and he became a foreman at a local sanitation plant. He was unable once more to travel to his parents westwards until 1631, when Ghawlama was ruined by the Jingdaoese and then evacuated. A year later, Stormark, which years earlier had taken on the Lontinien area outside Ghawlama, annexed Ghawlama. Temüjin, now in his mid-30s, considered himself too old to retrain, and took on employment in the city sanitation department. By 1640, he was active in the Union of Sanitation Workers of Ghawlama, becoming its president in 1644. In 1650, he became the President of the Federation of of Lontinian Worker Union, a working-class union that often was at odds with the Vanic regime. This new position afforded him a greater income, and he began travelling around Stormark, visiting Kaupang and Haraldsborg. In Haraldsborg, he stayed a few months at the Hurmu temple, and he studied the history of Hurmudan–Lontinian relations. He became convinced that greater cooperation between the two cut-off communities was necessary. He resigned his position as federation president and took on retirement to devote himself to the furthering of the Hurmu–Lontinien communities, dividing his time between Ghawlama and Haraldsborg.
When in 1685, the Storish state had collapsed, leaders of the Lontinien communities elected Temüjin their Khan for a Restored Khanate. The former Khan, Harald (who had held this position for aeons), was declared dead. Temüjin ensured that the Khanate would cooperate closely with the Order of the Holy Lakes in setting up the Hurmu Trust Territory. Thus he became co-ruler of the Hurmu Trust Territory.
In 1689, he travelled to Shirekeep to have an audidence with his co-ruler Salome, Princess of Hurmu. He cut his trip short when Barnum began threatening the borders of its neighbours. Temüjin went then on an international tour, travelling to Vesüha, Lakkvia, Craitland, Elwynn, Sanama, and Zeed, to convince these nations to help Hurmu set up a strong and stable government that could withstand such existential threats that had plagued the history of the peoples of Hurmu and Lontinien for the last two centuries.
In 1690, he was a signatory of the Vesüha Accords. He was subsequently elected to Parlerment of Hurmu as a member of the Assembly of Representatives, where he was elected to Speaker of the Assembly. Prior to the election, he was Minister for Lontinien ad interim for a month in the cabinet of Jan Spiik.
Temüjin Khan died in 1696 from old age. As a former senator and head of state of Hurmu and khan of Lontinien, he was given a state funeral in Ghawlama. His remains were cremated and interred in a mausoleum.
Temüjin enjoyed calligraphy, both Lontinian and Jingdaoese. He spoke Lontinian, Jingdaoese, and Norse. His Norse had a definite Storish twang. Although Lontinian was his native language, he regarded Jingdaoese as the language that he had mastered best. He wrote his speeches first in Jingdaoese, and then translatds them to either Lontinien or Norse depending on the audience.
Temüjin held Elwynnese citizenship 1597–1599, Dominion citizenship 1599–1603, no citizenship (stateless) 1603–1606, Jingdaoese citizenship 1606–1632, Storish citizenship 1632–1685, and Hurmu Trust Territory citizenship from 1685 to 1690, and Hurmu citizenship from 1690 until his death in 1696.
