T.G. Kahn

T.J. Khan was named "Temujin Genghis" by his father, a professor of history specializing in the Mongol Empire, after the successful Khan of the Mongols. Due to the teasing he received as a child, he insisted on using only his initials and had done so since elementary school.

He was in his early thirties with a Bachelor of Science in physics (a field as far from Mongol history as he could find) and working as a technical writer in Los Angeles. He was working one day in his office when his secretary buzzed to say he had a visitor. A man walked in and immediately prostrated himself in front of Khan with his forehead touching the floor.

He was in his late twenties and looked vaguely Semitic. He had a Fu Manchu mustache and an unusual hairstyle. The top of his head was shaved along with a strip from ear to ear through the shaved top. The remaining hair was in long greasy braids. He was dressed in a heavy fur coat over leather trousers and boots, quite inappropriate for the hot Los Angeles weather. His belt had two scabbards, one for a knife the other for a curved sword.
