The Assassins are members of a secret Brotherhood dedicated to protecting humanity's freedom. They believe people should be allowed to choose their own destinies rather than live under absolute control.
The Brotherhood operates from hidden bureaus and safehouses. Its members often maintain ordinary occupations as cover. Some are merchants, scholars, craftsmen, soldiers, or travelers.
Assassins are trained in stealth, parkour, investigation, disguise, and close combat. They prefer to remain unseen and avoid unnecessary killing. A target is normally eliminated because that person's actions pose a significant threat to freedom or the Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood follows three fundamental principles known as the Three Tenets:
Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent.
Hide in plain sight.
Never compromise the Brotherhood.
Breaking these principles can bring severe consequences, especially when an Assassin's actions endanger the Brotherhood.
