The Assassin Brotherhood
"We work in the dark to serve the light.
We are Assassins."
Discover the history, tenets, and key figures of the Hidden Ones who fight from the shadows to protect the free will of humanity.
The Creed
The Three Tenets
The pillars upon which the Brotherhood has stood for thousands of years.
Stay Your Blade
Never harm an innocent. The Assassins exist to protect those who cannot protect themselves. To kill an innocent is to betray everything the Brotherhood stands for.
Hide in Plain Sight
Be one with the crowd. Never draw attention. Our greatest weapon is our anonymity. Blend, observe, and strike only when the moment demands it.
Never Compromise
The actions of one must never endanger the many. If captured, say nothing. If hunted, do not lead them home. The Brotherhood survives through unity.

Origins
The Hidden Ones
Founded in Egypt by Bayek of Siwa and his wife Aya around 47 BCE, the Hidden Ones were the precursors to the modern Brotherhood. Created to protect the free will of the people from the Order of the Ancients, they operated from the shadows to serve the light.
Over centuries, their creed spread across the globe — from the Roman Empire to the Crusades, the Renaissance, the Age of Pirates, and into the modern era — evolving into the Brotherhood we know today.
