I'd guess that Genghis was motivated by personal pride and martial honour, which seem to be the kind of inflow concepts that go to make a good darkworker. Shaka Zulu would be another figure in this mould, and one who did a better job of forging a tribe that prospered after his death (which, after all, adds to his kudos posthumously).
But to align strongly with a life purpose of "for the greatest good of my clan"? That seems to me to be a life purpose inconsistent with being either a lightworker (when your clans interests slash with others, then those other interests are as of nothing to you), or being a darkworker (one behaves altruitically to members of one's clan, putting their interests ahead of one's egoistic interests). Solon, architect of Athenian democracy, might be a good example: he could have ruled as a tyrant, but instead he gave Athenian's freedoms and enshrined these in laws. He could have pursued peace with Athen's neighbours, but he chose to use both peace and war to advance Athen's cause. I think he was a high awareness individual who chose neither light nor dark.
