Hassan Sabbah, who lived in the late 11th and early 12th centuries, is a leader who has been a subject of great curiosity and mystery throughout history. An Iranian Shiite Muslim, Sabbah was the famous leader of the Alamut Castle and the founder of the Hashshashi sect. Sabbah's life is remarkable for his intelligence, strategic genius and extraordinary leadership skills.
Sabbah, who attached great importance to his education at a young age, was educated in various parts of the Islamic world and studied different ideas. In particular, his devotion to the Shiite Ismaili sect made him an important figure of this sect. Sabbah captured Alamut Castle and formed a group loyal to himself and founded a sect known as the Hashashashis.
One of the most well-known characteristics of Hasan Sabbah is his assassination strategies against his enemies. The Hashshashis organized assassinations to eliminate their enemies and spread fear through this method. The most striking aspect of these assassinations is that the people targeted were usually high-ranking statesmen and military leaders. In this way, Sabbah increased his political power and neutralized his enemies.
Alamut Castle is known as Sabbah's headquarters. This castle is located in a highly strategic position in terms of defense and is also known as a place that inspired Sabbah's followers. Here, Sabbah instilled Ismaili teachings in his loyal followers and turned them into dedicated warriors.
