The title of '''Master Assassin''' was one of the highest obtainable ranks within the [[Assassins|Assassin's 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 in both the arts of stealth and assassination. A Master Assassin was meant to embody [[the Creed]]; they will never harm an innocent, always hide in plain sight, and never compromise the Brotherhood.<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

==History==
In 1176, [[Umar Ibn-La'Ahad]] and his fellow Assassin, [[Faheem Al-Sayf]], held the title of Master Assassin.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref>

In 1191, [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] held the position before being demoted to a [[novice]] following his failure to obtain the [[Second Apple|Apple of Eden]] beneath [[Solomon's Temple]]. He eventually regained this title, and held it during the assassinations of [[Robert de Sable]] and [[Al Mualim]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed" /> [[Malik Al-Sayf]] also became a Master Assassin before he lost his arm.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

In 1499, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] eventually obtained the rank.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref> [[Yusuf Tazim]], the leader of the [[Constantinople Assassins Guild]] in 1511, was also a Master Assassin.<ref name="Characters of Assassin's Creed: Revelations">''[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/05/17/the-characters-of-assassin-s-creed-revelations.aspx Game Informer: The Characters Of Assassin's Creed: Revelations]'' </ref>

===Crusades===
Like other Assassins, Master Assassins possessed the eagle beak-like design upon their hoods, but their robes were generally longer, forming a bird-like "tail" 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.<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

===Renaissance===
With the order much less public, a uniform guideline no longer existed. The Assassins of the [[Renaissance]] were a small, underground group, with access to knowledge and [[weapons]]. Most retained their [[Freerunning|free-running]], [[Hidden Blade]]s and beak-like hooded traditions.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>
