Does "khan" mean king, or warlord?
As in, does it refer to the guy who leads people into war, or the overall peace time autocrat?

King implies vassals, a Khan doesn't necessarily need those but it does imply a ruler of a state.

Khan means khan.

The question you should ask is "which English term best encapsulates the role of 'khan'"

Turko-Mongols are much more badass than Viking snowniggers. If there's one "warrior culture" you should idolize it should be them.
