~ Bori Khan's most famous quote. |
Bori Khan is the main antagonist of the 2020 Disney live-action film Mulan, a remake of the 1998 animated film of the same name.
A Rouran warlord, Khan sought to annihilate China and kill the emperor in revenge for the death of his father. To achieve this end, he allied himself with a powerful witch, Xian Lang, who serves as the film's secondary antagonist. Khan takes the place of Shan Yu, the main antagonist of the animated film.
He was portrayed by Jason Scott Lee, who also played Whitey in Back to the Future Part II and Caine 607 in Soldier.
Personality
Bori Khan is established from the beginning to be an agile warlord, managing to kill, alongside his men, dozens of Chinese soldiers in rapid succession. Like Shan Yu, Khan is ruthless and bloodthirsty, stopping at nothing to ensure China and its people are conquered.
The similarities between the two stop there, however. Unlike Khan, Shan Yu never had any real reason or motivation for conquering China beyond lust for power. Khan, on the other hand, seeks to destroy the empire out of revenge for the murder of his father, implied to have been at the hands of China's emperor, though the exact circumstances are never explained. Additionally, Khan is shown to have a deep, open resentment to women and their roles in society, exemplified best by his horrid treatment of Xian Lang and his initial dismissal of Mulan as a "child". Shan Yu, by contrast, never showed any signs of sexism, but instead, showed surprise when Mulan revealed herself as the soldier who annihilated his army.
Biography

After Xian Lang's death, she would battle against Böri Khan. Mulan cut the rope and he fell down into the palace and he was killed by an arrow.
