The Real History of the Assassins: Fact vs. Assassin’s Creed

Are you a fan of the Assassin’s Creed series but wonder how much of the lore is actually rooted in history? In this video, we dive deep into the historical reality of the Order of Assassins, also known as the Hashashin or Nizari Ismailis, to see how they stack up against their fictional counterparts. From the founding of the order by Hasan-i Sabbah in 1090 AD to their eventual decline under Mongol and Mamluk forces in the 13th century, we explore the true story of this medieval Shia Muslim sect. In this video, we cover • The Origins of the Order: How Hasan-i Sabbah seized Alamut Castle through subterfuge and established a network of mountain strongholds. • Tactics and Methods: The truth behind their use of targeted assassinations with daggers in public places to maximize intimidation, rather than conventional warfare. • Debunking the Myths: Why the term "Assassin" was actually a pejorative label (Hashashin) and why the legends of drug-induced paradises were likely fabricated by their enemies. • Historical vs. Fictional Figures: We compare real leaders like Rashid ad-Din Sinan (the original "Old Man of the Mountain") to game characters like Al Mualim and Altaïr. • Core Beliefs: The difference between the real sect’s esoteric Ismaili doctrines and the game's secular focus on "freedom vs. control". • Game Divergences: A look at how Ubisoft uses history as a backdrop for science-fiction elements like Pieces of Eden, the Animus, and the millennia-old conflict with the Templars—elements that have no basis in documented history. Whether you're a history buff or a hardcore gamer, this video will help you separate documented evidence from creative liberty.
