The '''Egyptian Brotherhood of Assassins''' was the [[Assassin Guilds|Guild]] of [[Assassins]] located in [[Egypt]], one of the few Brotherhoods to have existed for over a thousand years.

==History==
===Ancient Egypt===
The Egyptian branch of the Assassin Brotherhood seems to have been the original brotherhood of Assassins. This stems from the fact that Bayek is credited with founding the Assassin Brotherhood.

The Egyptian branch of Assassin Brotherhood seems to exist at least since the 2nd century before the common era, as the [[Rosetta Stone]] contains information about the Assassins.<ref name="ACU">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref>

On 12 August 30 BCE, the Egyptian Assassin [[Amunet]] infiltrated the Egyptian Queen [[Cleopatra]]'s palace, and killed her with a venomous [[Snakes|asp]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

===Islamic Era===
In the early 11th century, the Egyptian Assassins acquired the [[Scepter of Aset]] after it was discovered by fishermen after it was lost in a [[Roman Empire|Roman]] shipwreck during Antiquity. Two centuries later, in 1250, still in Egypt, the Brotherhood gave the artifact to the [[Mamluks]] in an effort to help them in their [[Slavery|slave]] revolt against the rule of their [[Ayyubid dynasty|Ayyubid]] overlords.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed 4: Hawk]]''</ref>

In 1257, [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad]], son of the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]], [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], moved to [[Alexandria]] after the Levantine Assassins were disbanded.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref> Darim joined the widow of his [[Sef Ibn-La'Ahad|deceased brother]] and her children,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref> which led to their bloodline integrating into the Egyptian Assassins.<ref name="ACR" />

In 1340, after the Scepter of Aset remained for nearly a century in the possession of the [[Bahri dynasty|Mamluks Sultans]], the [[Templars]] stole it from the Sultan [[Al-Nasir Muhammad]] and the Assassins entrusted [[Numa Al'Khamsin]] and his apprentice [[Ali Al-Ghraib]] with the task to find the artifact.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed 5: El Cakr]]''</ref> One year later, Numa Al'Khamsin eventually retrieved the Scepter from the Templars but he soon lost it again as well as his life during a Templar ambush in [[Edfu]]. However, his apprentice escaped with the Scepter, which he throwed in a well near Edfu but died before he could reach the Brotherhood and the Scepter remained hidden to all.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed 6: Leila]]''</ref>

By 1511, the Egyptian Assassins were under the leadership of their Mentor [[Iskender]], a descendant of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. He was captured to be executed that year, but was saved by [[Turkish Assassins|Ottoman Assassins]] sent from [[Constantinople]] by the Mentor of the [[Italian Assassins]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]].<ref name="ACR" />

By 1794, the Egyptian Assassins were led by an individual who was known as [[Al Mualim (1794)|Al Mualim]], who was based in [[Cairo]]. [[Arno Dorian]] sent one of his fellow [[French Assassins]] to the city with the [[Apples of Eden|Apple of Eden]] he had taken from the [[Head of Saint Denis]] to keep it safe.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]] - [[Dead Kings]]''</ref>
