The Order of Assassins were the deadliest special forces of the Medieval world. They were masters of disguise and stealth, wielding psychological warfare as their greatest weapon. Originating in 11th-century Persia, the Assassins, led by Hassan-i Sabbah, targeted prominent figures, including Sunni leaders, employing tactics like stabbing with stilettos and slashing with concealed weapons. The Assassins successfully assassinated key figures, instilling fear and dread across the Middle East.

I'm more focused when I'm high on Marijuana than when I'm sober

The part where Saladins two most trusted bodyguards revealed themselves as sleeper assassins was crazy awesome. Imagine the horror Saladin must have experienced in that moment....

@mathewphoria7228

notice how this is a better story than the last few assassins creed games were. they need to make games from real history stories like this.

@alexanderkidonakis9185

I thank Abstergo for making this video available.

I'm super surprised that you didn't mention the fact that the cool hidden wrist blade from the game ACTUALLY DID exist and was actually used... they invented and manufactured a type of dagger that was kind of a gravity assisted design that activated by swinging their hand around or flicking their wrist. It wasn't widely used and difficult to make, but they did exist, and some were found, and many were directly mentioned in sources. The design was just kept a secret forever until the discovery, but I think the military banning them or deciding they're "impractical" helped wipe out our knowledge of them even further. I guess it's not really that relevant to the topic and would have added more time to the video, but I think it's still worth mentioning it, and it should have been mentioned in the video because I really truly believe from being a historian and reading sources, and seeing pictures of the artifacts, that this kind of blade was used in at least one of or maybe even all of the attacks that you talked about in the video. It's just an interesting fact to know...so I let everyone else know because I knew it.

They are destroyers, not builders. Destruction takes a minute. Building takes a lifetime. One inherits death. The other inherits eternal life of love and family.

@jamesgpevans9421

With me being a big Assassin's creed fan I knew I'd enjoy this thanks very much 👍👍👍👏👏👏

@chrishaapala7997

I've been waiting a long time for this episode

@MMAUniversityTime

Who decided it was a good idea to show cars and modern day outfits on people in the cutscenes? Kills the aesthetic

@andymcneil7085

Great post. I found it fascinating.

At the beginning, it would have been good of them to cover the evidence that the temple knights (Knights Templar) seem to have been working with them. Possibly as far back as 1080 A.D. But there's better evidence that their relationship started somewhere between 1090 & 1110.
