The &#039;&#039;&#039;Knights Hospitalier&#039;&#039;&#039;, also known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Acre&#039;&#039;&#039;, was one of the Christian orders of the [[Third Crusade|Crusades]]. Their emblem was a white cross, often on a black background.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Knights Hospitalier were founded in the city of [[Jerusalem]] to provide care for poor, sick, or injured pilgrims to the [[Kingdom|Holy Land]], but became a much more militaristic organization with the onset of the Crusades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Third Crusade===&lt;br /&gt;
By 1191, the Knights were led by [[Garnier de Naplouse]], who was secretly a [[Templars|Templar]]. He experimented on his patients to try and replicate the effects of the [[Apple of Eden 2|Apple of Eden]], of which he achieved a limited amount of success, though he was assassinated by [[Altaïr Ibn-La&#039;Ahad]], ending his experiments.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACI&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Despite this, the Knights Hospitalier persisted, remaining in the city until its downfall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modern era===&lt;br /&gt;
After the loss of [[Acre]], the Hospitalier base relocated to [[Rhodes]]. During the [[Renaissance]], the knightly order were responsible for killing the [[Master Assassin]] [[Castor]]. In response, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] sent a team of [[Turkish Assassins|Ottoman Assassins]] to burn the Hospitalier compound to the ground.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACR&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Revelations]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1522, the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] Sultan [[Suleiman]], an ally of the Assassins, succeeded in expelling the Knights from Rhodes. He failed, however, to eradicate the Order, as they reorganized themselves on {{Wiki|Malta}} and prevented the Ottoman forces from {{Wiki|Great Siege of Malta|conquering the island}} in 1565. This event sparked a longtime grudge between the Hospitalier and the Ottoman Empire.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Rogue]]&#039;&#039; – [[War letters|War Letters]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After 1675, the Hospitalier in Malta had been severely damaged by a plague, and lacked for resources and defences. During the [[Seven Years&#039; War]], the Templar [[Shay Cormac]] used his fleet to send some troops to the island.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Assassin&#039;s Creed: Rogue&#039;&#039; – Naval Campaign&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the Hospitalier Order still exists as the {{Wiki|Order of Saint John (Bailiwick of Brandenburg)|Order of Saint John}}, although they no longer serve a military function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
*The Knights Hospitalier were the only faction of [[Crusaders]] without high-ranking soldiers, aside from informant targets.&lt;br /&gt;
*In &#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed]]&#039;&#039;, the armor and uniform of Knights Hospitalier guards was strikingly similar to that of the high-ranking Templar crusaders in the Holy Land, with the primary difference being the black and white coloring of the Hospitaliers, as opposed to the red and white of the Templar crusaders.&lt;br /&gt;
*In &#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Revelations]]&#039;&#039;, the simulated location of Rhodes in the [[Animi Training Program]] contained a Knights Hospitalier [[Forts|fortress]]. In reality, during the 15th century, the Knights Hospitalier held sovereignty over the island.&lt;br /&gt;
*At the Morrigan&#039;s Captain&#039;s Cabin, several ships featured the emblem of the Knights Hospitaliers though the symbol at this time was a white cross and a red background&lt;br /&gt;
*Hospitalier Captains could be seen in the crowd behind King [[Richard I of England]], when the latter was confronted at [[Arsuf]], and during some [[investigation]]s conducted by Altaïr.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Youmay|the Assassin rank|the [[Master Templar|equivalent rank]] in the [[Templars|Templar Order]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AssassinLogo.png|180px|thumb|The Assassin insignia]]&lt;br /&gt;
The title of &#039;&#039;&#039;Master Assassin&#039;&#039;&#039; was one of the highest obtainable [[ranks]] within the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], and those who held this title were presumed to have reached the peak of their training as an Assassin. The rank garnered a large amount of respect from other members within the Order and indicated individuals who possessed uncommon skill and talent, most often in the arts of stealth and assassination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Master Assassin was meant to embody [[the Creed]]: they never harmed an innocent, always hid in plain sight, and never compromised the Brotherhood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1176, [[Umar Ibn-La&#039;Ahad]] and his fellow Assassin [[Faheem Al-Sayf]] held the title of Master Assassin. However, Umar gave his life to spare the Brotherhood from a siege, in retribution for an assassination gone wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACTSC&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: The Secret Crusade]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1191, [[Altaïr Ibn-La&#039;Ahad]] held the position, before being demoted to a [[novice]] following his failure to obtain the [[Apple of Eden 2|Apple of Eden]] beneath [[Solomon&#039;s Temple]], along with his arrogance and disregard of the tenets of the Creed. He eventually regained this title through [[Hunt for the Nine|several assassinations]] in support of the Order&#039;s interests, and held it during the assassinations of [[Robert de Sable]] and [[Al Mualim]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AC&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Eventually he became [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACR&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Revelations]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1499, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] obtained the rank, before rising to be the Mentor of the [[Italian Assassins]], following the [[Liberation of Rome|liberation]] of [[Rome]] from the [[House of Borgia]]&#039;s grasp.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACB&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Brotherhood]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Also, during the 16th century, [[Yusuf Tazim]], the leader of the [[Turkish Assassins|Constantinople Assassins Guild]], alongside the famed Turkish navy admiral, cartographer, and [[Bombs|bomb]] specialist [[Piri Reis]], were Master Assassins. As well as those two, [[Dogan]] and [[Kasim]], who were Yusuf&#039;s lieutenants, also held the rank of Master Assassin.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACR&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 18th century, [[Achilles Davenport]] was a Master Assassin of the [[Colonial Assassins|Colonial Brotherhood]]. Following the near complete collapse of the branch in 1763, Achilles removed himself from the Assassin affairs, but eventually returned to prominence as the Mentor of the Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AC3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed III]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ratonhnhaké:ton himself obtained the rank at some point later in his life.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AC4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed IV: Black Flag]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1690, [[Maréchal]] was a Master Assassin of the [[French Assassins|French Brotherhood]]. By the mid-18th century, the French branch was led by a [[Assassin Council|Council]], which consisted of four Master Assassins: [[Pierre Bellec]], [[Sophie Trenet]], [[Guillaume Beylier]] and [[Hervé Quemar]], with the Mentor [[Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau|Mirabeau]] presiding over them. [[Arno Dorian]], another notable member of the French Brotherhood, eventually also attained the rank of Master Assassin after being reinstated.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACU&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Unity]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the period between the 19th and 20th centuries, [[Nikolai Orelov]], a member of the [[Narodnaya Volya]] sect of the [[Russian Assassins]], was a Master Assassin.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACTF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: The Fall]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Attire==&lt;br /&gt;
Like other Assassins, most Master Assassins possessed the eagle beak-like design upon their hoods, but their robes were generally longer, forming a bird-like &amp;quot;tail&amp;quot; that fluttered whenever they were in an area of strong wind. In addition, their leather belts were larger, their red sashes wider and longer, and they had permission to carry any weapon they desired.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AC&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the order much less public, a uniform guideline as to the attire of a Master Assassin no longer existed. The Master Assassins were a small group with broader access to knowledge and weapons. Most retained their [[freerunning]], [[Hidden Blade]]s and hooded traditions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed II]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Master Assassins were also the only Assassins permitted to wield dual Hidden Blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As [[Assassin Dens]] were erected within [[Constantinople]], Ezio Auditore promoted several high-ranking Assassins to be Master Assassins who guarded the structures. These new Master Assassins would be trained specially by Ezio to be able to fulfill their role, and this extra training allowed them to hold the Dens against [[Templars|Templar]] [[Den Defense|attacks]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACR&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

As [[Assassin Dens]] were erected within [[Constantinople]], Ezio Auditore promoted several high-ranking Assassins to be Master Assassins who guarded the structures. These new Master Assassins would be trained specially by Ezio to be able to fulfill their role, and this extra training allowed them to hold the Dens against [[Templars|Templar]] [[Den Defense|attacks]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACR&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{Youmay|the Assassin rank|the [[Master Templar|equivalent rank]] in the [[Templars|Templar Order]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AssassinLogo.png|180px|thumb|The Assassin insignia]]&lt;br /&gt;
The title of &#039;&#039;&#039;Master Assassin&#039;&#039;&#039; was one of the highest obtainable [[ranks]] within the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], and those who held this title were presumed to have reached the peak of their training as an Assassin. The rank garnered a large amount of respect from other members within the Order and indicated individuals who possessed uncommon skill and talent, most often in the arts of stealth and assassination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Master Assassin was meant to embody [[the Creed]]: they never harmed an innocent, always hid in plain sight, and never compromised the Brotherhood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1176, [[Umar Ibn-La&#039;Ahad]] and his fellow Assassin [[Faheem Al-Sayf]] held the title of Master Assassin. However, Umar gave his life to spare the Brotherhood from a siege, in retribution for an assassination gone wrong.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACTSC&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: The Secret Crusade]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1191, [[Altaïr Ibn-La&#039;Ahad]] held the position, before being demoted to a [[novice]] following his failure to obtain the [[Apple of Eden 2|Apple of Eden]] beneath [[Solomon&#039;s Temple]], along with his arrogance and disregard of the tenets of the Creed. He eventually regained this title through [[Hunt for the Nine|several assassinations]] in support of the Order&#039;s interests, and held it during the assassinations of [[Robert de Sable]] and [[Al Mualim]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AC&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Eventually he became [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACR&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Revelations]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1499, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] obtained the rank, before rising to be the Mentor of the [[Italian Assassins]], following the [[Liberation of Rome|liberation]] of [[Rome]] from the [[House of Borgia]]&#039;s grasp.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACB&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Brotherhood]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Also, during the 16th century, [[Yusuf Tazim]], the leader of the [[Turkish Assassins|Constantinople Assassins Guild]], alongside the famed Turkish navy admiral, cartographer, and [[Bombs|bomb]] specialist [[Piri Reis]], were Master Assassins. As well as those two, [[Dogan]] and [[Kasim]], who were Yusuf&#039;s lieutenants, also held the rank of Master Assassin.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACR&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 18th century, [[Achilles Davenport]] was a Master Assassin of the [[Colonial Assassins|Colonial Brotherhood]]. Following the near complete collapse of the branch in 1763, Achilles removed himself from the Assassin affairs, but eventually returned to prominence as the Mentor of the Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AC3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed III]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ratonhnhaké:ton himself obtained the rank at some point later in his life.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AC4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed IV: Black Flag]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1690, [[Maréchal]] was a Master Assassin of the [[French Assassins|French Brotherhood]]. By the mid-18th century, the French branch was led by a [[Assassin Council|Council]], which consisted of four Master Assassins: [[Pierre Bellec]], [[Sophie Trenet]], [[Guillaume Beylier]] and [[Hervé Quemar]], with the Mentor [[Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau|Mirabeau]] presiding over them. [[Arno Dorian]], another notable member of the French Brotherhood, eventually also attained the rank of Master Assassin after being reinstated.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACU&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: Unity]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the period between the 19th and 20th centuries, [[Nikolai Orelov]], a member of the [[Narodnaya Volya]] sect of the [[Russian Assassins]], was a Master Assassin.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACTF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed: The Fall]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Attire==&lt;br /&gt;
Like other Assassins, most Master Assassins possessed the eagle beak-like design upon their hoods, but their robes were generally longer, forming a bird-like &amp;quot;tail&amp;quot; that fluttered whenever they were in an area of strong wind. In addition, their leather belts were larger, their red sashes wider and longer, and they had permission to carry any weapon they desired.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AC&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the order much less public, a uniform guideline as to the attire of a Master Assassin no longer existed. The Master Assassins of the [[Renaissance]] were a small, underground group, with broader access to knowledge and weapons. Most retained their [[freerunning]], [[Hidden Blade]]s and hooded traditions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;[[Assassin&#039;s Creed II]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Master Assassins were also the only Assassins permitted to wield dual Hidden Blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As [[Assassin Dens]] were erected within [[Constantinople]], Ezio Auditore promoted several high-ranking Assassins to be Master Assassins who guarded the structures. These new Master Assassins would be trained specially by Ezio to be able to fulfill their role, and this extra training allowed them to hold the Dens against [[Templars|Templar]] [[Den Defense|attacks]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ACR&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
