Good touch, showing the fact that Khan had red hair! Nice work!

It's not a "fact". I believe there is a legend recorded by a Persian historian claiming that one of the Khan's distance ancestors was a "shining man with red hair" or something along those lines. That sort of legend may or may not have a basis in fact. Note that this "shining man" himself could've been of mixed ancestry instead of a European

I was going by accounts by European priests who were sent to convert Khan's court.

Khan had red hair? Really? How come? O.O

Some think there was genes from Nestorian priests in his ancestory.
The Mongols seen his hair colouring as a sign of good omens.

Aaaaand apparently people have already answered this - it's a known mutation in some asian and african peoples, and specially in the Uyghur people (who inhabit modern-day xinjiang, hunan, and central asia) - @*lunatama said it.
This is really cool! I never knew

I read about it in a book called "Genghis Khan - Emperor of all men".
It's by Harold Lamb, published in the 1920s, worth picking up on amazon.
(I found it for less than a UK pound)

That's really interesting, but would that far ancestry explain it? I mean, here in Brazil people are all mixed, and I have seen all sorts of asian people mixing with all sorts of people from, well, all over really, and usually the first generation of offspring just looks asian? The nose may be a bit different, the shape of the eye, but never colouring unless it's an asian person who had a kid with a black person. It takes two, three generations of asian people having kids with white people for european colouring (blue, green eyes, blonde, red hair) to start popping up.
Of course, this is just what I've seen, I don't know how it actually works, how these genetic traits are distributed. "Asian" is a painfully generic word to describe a multitude of ethnic groups. For all I know there are asian people with red hair. Or maybe Gengis Khan had some sort of genetic abnormality? I can see why people would think he was special, if he did have red hair. Is there a genetics-savvy person in this thread who could shine a light on this?

Plenty of Europeans moved along the silk road trade routes for centuries.
To imagine someone of Celtic roots made love with a Mongol woman in not
beyond the realm of possibility. People were not as close-minded about
race as we like to think they were back in the medieval ages...
I guess the truth of the matter has passed into legend, like much of the
reign of the great Khan. It is quite fitting that his life is discussed
by men almost 1000 years later...

Erm, that is kind of what I said.
