I think the story is that The Mandarin is a lengendary freedom fighter/terrorist leader in charge of the 10 Rings. Then Killian resued the imagrey and name when he was making up his fake terrorist scheme to cover for thefailed Extremis tests. Then the real Mandarin didn't like his reputation being used so he broke Trevor Slattery out of prison.
