[What We Do In The Shadows] Was Nandor a vampire when he was part of the Ottoman empire?

Nandor says that he was born in southern Iran in 1262. The Ottoman empire wasn't formally established until 1299, and at that point it only really had a foothold in Anatolia. Nandor appears at most to be early 40s when he "died". So he would've had to have served the Ottoman empire as a vampire. Especially considering that he and his army supposedly destroyed what would become Nadja's village in Greece. 

Then again, Nandor and his roommates are very clearly not the most intelligent vampires around. Is it possible that he is misremembering history and that he was a soldier for the Mongols, and not the Ottomans?

I think you might actually be on to something here. Nandor does mention that he was from Southern Iran, and the Salghurid dynasty which pre-dated the Ottoman Empire did fall under the Mongol empire roughly around the time Nandor would have been a human. 

Getting the two empires he fought for mixed up would certainly be in character for Nandor.
