Who the most famous leader of the mongols?
Timur (from the Perso-Arabic form تیمور Tīmūr, ultimately from Chagatai (Middle Turkic) Temür "iron"; 8 April 1336 - 18 February 1405), normally known as Tamerlane(from Tīmūr-e Lang) in English, was a fourteenth-century conqueror of Western, South and Central Asia, founder of the Timurid Empire and Timurid dynasty (1370-1405) in Central Asia, and great great grandfather of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Dynasty, which survived until 1857 as the Mughal Empire in India.[1][2][3][4][5]
Born into the Turco-Mongol[6][7] Barlas tribe who ruled in Central Asia,[8][9] Timur was in his lifetime a controversial figure, and remains so today. He sought to restore the Mongol Empire,[10][11] yet his heaviest blow was against the Islamized Tatar Golden Horde. He was more at home in an urban environment than on the steppe. He styled himself a ghazi yet some Muslim states, for example the Ottoman Empire, were severely affected by his wars. A great patron of the arts, his campaigns also caused vast destruction. Timur told the qadis of Aleppo, during the sack of that newly conquered city,"I am not a man of blood; and God is my witness that in all my wars I have never been the aggressor, and that my enemies have always been the authors of their own calamity."

The Huns were group of pastoral nomads originating from an area in central Asia know as the Steppe or Eurasian Steppe it is the world's largest grassland and an exceedingly harsh climate with temperatures ranging from 120 degrees F in the summer to -60 degrees F in the winter.
As to the ethnicity of the Huns it is very hard to tell weather or not the Huns would be considered east Asian or Oriental, as the term is used today. Most tribes from the steppe, of which the Huns were one, were not ethnically homogeneous, they often included Turkic peoples, east Asian people, and Persian peoples, to name only a few... in addition to that it is interesting to note that Chinese writers from the Hun's period, and earlier, describe people living on their borders that sound almost Nordic ie., tall, fair skinned people, with sometimes blonde hair, and sometimes green or blue eyes.
The point being it's difficult to tell, with any accuracy, what ethnicity may have composed the Huns.
