People we know about in the North.

The Family of the Khan

  • The Great Khan - now rumored to be in failing health (whether natural or man-made is unknown)
  • The Beastmaster of Men - now the Necrobeastmaster of Men and going for Necro-Beastmaster of War, the first son of the Great Khan.
  • The Second Son of the Great Khan - a beast master and ally of Wolf, beloved of Shen Mei

The Great Khan is mentioned in several runs

Information Hunt - the clan might even impress the Great Khan
Life in the North - the name of the clan (Borjigin) which has the khan trying to become Great Khan by uniting the clans.
Terra Cotta - Mei explains a little bit further - the large Wolf spirit is allied with some of the northern beastmasters; in exchange for their aid putting Wolf in the Imperial Cycle, he is aiding them in overthrowing the Great Khan.
Bear for Sale - A vision of Lok Mo's past shows him the trio of northerners bowing before the Great Khan, as they go off to get the blood of the great enemy, to forge the Spear of Victory.
Mini Mammoths - He has been raising mammoths in this camp - he brings them to west, to the camp of the Great Khan, when they are more grown. "Go and talk to the Great Khan's son. He will tell you many things, for he is a beastmaster of men!"
Against the North! - The Beastmaster of Men (calling himself the Great Khan, which Xian particularly notices) calls on everyone to serve him. (during the battle)
Drawing Blood - (The Circle of Blood) They are not the Great Khan, and they are not of the clans.
Finding them is usually hard. They gather irregularly, but they are awaiting the judgement of the Great Khan, so they are north of his camp now. The Life Masters clearly find it distasteful that the Great Khan presume to judge them, though the Circle were fools to have let themselves into a situation where the Great Khan does judge them.
Merit wonders if the Circle has anything to do with the Beastmaster of Men. The Life Masters admit that they do not know; some speculate that the Beastmaster of Men gained his power from them after defeating them, but they think that seems too great a power for a simple boon. But if anyone could do such a thing, it would be they.
Zombie Statistics - Who does the necrolord work for? He'll work for anyone who pays him - even the Great Khan.
Northern Tents - the party goes to the current war camp headquarters of the Beastmaster of Men.
"I've figured it out. The younger brother is the younger brother of the Beastmaster of Men. 
It's pretty terrible, which makes it absolutely compelling." -Cai Wen
The clansmen are speaking of the Great Khan, who is still near death. Well, at this point he seems to be past near death, but not actually dead. They hope that he will hang on long enough to clear the succession, and put the nonsense of his younger son down.
The Life Masters know, even if no one else does, that the reason the Beastmaster of Men cannot control his brother is that no matter how depraved his thinking, he cannot believe his blood brother is simply an animal.

We also know about some abominations.
