'''Abbas Sofian''' (1166–1247) was a [[Syria]]n [[Assassins|Assassin]] during the Middle Ages, and the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]] from 1227 until his death. His leadership over the Levantine Brotherhood showed a period of corruption and disregard for the Order's [[The Creed|Creed]], resulting in the decline of their castle in [[Masyaf]] and its villagers fearing and secretly loathing the Assassins.

Raised as an Assassin from birth alongside [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], the two became best friends during their childhood. However, after Altaïr revealed to Abbas that his father, [[Ahmad Sofian]], had killed himself instead of leaving the Order as Abbas had believed, he labelled Altaïr a liar, and developed an intense hatred for him that would span a lifetime.

After Altaïr killed their former Mentor, [[Rashid ad-Din Sinan]], Abbas stood against Altaïr, who desired to become the Order's new leader. However, he eventually repented, and kept a low profile during Altaïr's time as Mentor.

When Altaïr and his family left for {{Wiki|Mongolia}} to deal with the threat led by [[Genghis Khan]], Abbas staged a secret coup d'état against the Order, killing Altaïr's son, [[Sef Ibn-La'Ahad]], and framing Altaïr's best friend and right-hand man, [[Malik Al-Sayf]], who was thrown into prison.

With Sef and Malik out of the way, Abbas held the most power over the Order and so he implemented a council into the Brotherhood, with himself as its head. Eventually, he also disbanded the council, usurping the title of Mentor and becoming the sole leader of the Levantine Assassins.

Under Abbas' leadership, the Order declined and became corrupted. Additionally, Abbas spent the majority of his time hiding in Masyaf's fortress, fearing for his life. Eventually, after Altaïr returned from his exile, the Assassins joined him once again, and Abbas was killed by one of Altaïr's [[Hidden Gun|newest weapons]].

==Biography==
===Early years===
Abbas Sofian was born in Masyaf, in the year 1166. As the son of Ahmad Sofian, a member of the Assassin Order, Abbas spent the first decade of his life living with his father, until 1176.<ref name="The Secret Crusade">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref>

That year, during the [[Siege of Masyaf]], Abbas' father was captured by the attacking [[Saracens]], and, under torture, revealed the name of [[Umar Ibn-La'Ahad]] as the Assassin who had killed a Saracen nobleman. Umar was executed at his own request, in order to spare Ahmad's life; however, the latter only grew guilty for his fellow Assassin's death.<ref name="The Secret Crusade" />

This later led to Ahmad killing himself in Umar and his son Altaïr's quarters, though Abbas was brought up to believe that his father had left the Order and would eventually return.<ref name="The Secret Crusade" />

Abbas was then paired up with Altaïr, and together they began their training to become Assassins, under their Mentor – Rashid ad-Din Sinan, commonly known as Al Mualim. The two boys developed a close friendship, being constantly by one another's side, and referred to each other as brothers; however, the thought of his father's self-imposed exile was never far from Abbas' mind.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

After some time, Altaïr began to notice a change in Abbas' mood, with the strain of his father's disappearance beginning to wear him down. In the hope that it would give him some peace, Altaïr informed Abbas that his father had not deserted Abbas as he had thought, but that he had actually committed suicide in Altaïr's chambers not long after the Saracen siege. Abbas refused to believe him and simply turned around in his bed, silent.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

During combat training the next day, Abbas made a request to their instructor, [[Labib]], to use real swords in their training, a request which was accepted with Labib's joy. However, instead of partaking in their regular training, Abbas ferociously attacked Altaïr in a burst of hatred, demanding to know why he had lied about his father.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

Reluctantly, Altaïr falsely admitted to lying, and the two were thrown in Masyaf's cells for a month. When they were allowed to continue their training, Abbas was punished further, as Al Mualim decreed that he had brought disrepute to the Order by allowing his emotions free rein, and as such, his training was to be extended by a year.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

===Attack on Masyaf===
{{Dialogue2|Altaïr|When I close the castle gates, flank the Crusaders in the village and drive them into the canyon.|Abbas|You don't stand a chance!|Abbas! No mistakes.|Altaïr and Abbas discussing their course of action during the attack.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}

[[File:Mentor's keeper 3.png|thumb|left|250px|Abbas talking with Altaïr during the attack.]]
Following these events, neither of the two considered the other as brethren. When Abbas was about 23 years old, Masyaf was attacked by [[Templars]] under the command of [[Haras]], a former Assassin apprentice who had betrayed the Order, due to his dissatisfaction with the Order's motives and his progression through its [[ranks]]. During this time, Abbas joined his fellow Assassins in battle against the Templars.<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

When Altaïr arrived in the middle of the fight, Abbas met up with him and told him that they needed to fall back. He also informed Altaïr that the Templars had taken Al Mualim hostage and that they could do nothing to save him. However, Altaïr ordered Abbas to flank the Templars once he had driven them from the castle. Despite his protests, Abbas had no choice but to follow his rival's orders, as he was of higher rank.<ref name="Revelations" />

Altaïr was eventually successful in saving Al Mualim,after which Altaïr was raised to the rank of [[Master Assassin]].<ref name="Revelations"/> Abbas, in an act of jealousy, spat on the ground before Altaïr's feet, though the others sneered at him in response. This event was the first sign of Altaïr's arrogance, which would, over time, further fuel Abbas' hatred for Altaïr.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

===Causing a civil war===
{{Quote|Forgive me... I did not... know...|Abbas apologizing to Altaïr after having used the Apple.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}

In 1191, Al Mualim came into possession of one of the [[Apple of Eden 2|Apples of Eden]], an [[Pieces of Eden|artifact]] from the [[First Civilization]], which had been hidden deep in [[Solomon's Temple]] in [[Jerusalem]]. Studying the Apple over the course of several weeks, Al Mualim found his mind not able to comprehend its powers, and soon grew corrupted and disillusioned by it.<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

Eventually, Al Mualim betrayed the Order he had served faithfully and strictly for numerous years, and used the Apple to brainwash the Assassins present in Masyaf to mindlessly follow and worship him. Finding out about his Mentor's secret Templar affiliations, Altaïr confronted Al Mualim and slew him in the castle's gardens, subsequently hiding the Apple in the Master's study in Masyaf castle.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

[[File:Mentor's wake 5.png|thumb|250px|Abbas and Altaïr arguing while Al Mualim's body burns.]]
After Al Mualim's death, Abbas made his way to Masyaf castle and met with Altaïr at the gates, where he discovered his rival carrying their Mentor's corpse. Abbas, openly distrusting and demanding an explanation, listened to his reasoning while they walked to a funeral pyre set out on a cliffside near to the castle.<ref name="Revelations"/>

As Altaïr lit Al Mualim's body on fire, Abbas confronted him, saying that burning a man's body was forbidden in their Order. In his defense, Altaïr said that the body could be "another one of Al Mualim's phantoms," and that he must not be given a chance to return. Enraged, Abbas shoved Altaïr off of the cliff, where he was confronted by both angry citizens and Assassins alike.<ref name="Revelations"/>

Abbas hurried to the Master's study in the castle, from which he stole the Apple of Eden, and proceeded to climb to the top of the watchtower outside the fortress to look out over the civil war that he had started. Yelling out to Altaïr and claiming that he was not able to wield the Apple, Abbas soon found himself unable to resist its charm and activated it.<ref name="Revelations"/>

However, Abbas' mind was too weak to bear the consequences of his actions, and the Apple began slowly draining the life from his body. In response, Altaïr hastily climbed up the tower and took the Apple from Abbas to save him, after which Abbas muttered an apology to Altaïr.<ref name="Revelations"/>

As time passed, Altaïr gained the full support of the other members of the Order, and became the Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, much to Abbas' displeasure. However, his new-found hatred for his late Mentor surpassed even that felt toward Altaïr, and Abbas relented against his former friend.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

===Assuming control===
{{Dialogue|Altaïr|'''I''' am the Master of this Order, Abbas. I demand that leadership is returned to me, in line with the statutes of the Brotherhood. They '''decree''' it be returned to me.|Abbas|They do not. Not any more.|Altaïr and Abbas discussing Altaïr's leadership.|Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade}}

Abbas continued to serve the Assassins faithfully for many years to come, well into Altaïr's role as Mentor. However, following Altaïr's departure for the Far East in 1217, he slowly begun to build up support among the populace to undermine the Order's acting Master and second-in-command, Malik Al-Sayf. In 1225, Abbas began to stage a coup d'état to assume control over the Order.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

Abbas commanded his subordinate [[Swami]], a weak-minded [[Apprentices|apprentice]], to murder Sef Ibn-La'Ahad, the younger son of Altaïr, and to pin the blame on Malik. As a result, Malik was found guilty of the murder and imprisoned in Masyaf's dungeon. With no acting leader, a council was founded to lead the Order – in accordance with the statutes of the Brotherhood – and Abbas placed himself at its head.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

Two years later, in 1227, Altaïr, his wife [[Maria Thorpe|Maria]], and their eldest son, [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad|Darim]], returned from their ten-year journey to the Far East, unaware of the events that had transpired in their absence. Arriving at the fortress, the aging Mentor was informed that his son, Sef, had departed for [[Alamut]] not long before their arrival. On his father's orders, Darim left for Alamut immediately, and the next day Altaïr and Maria met with Abbas and the ruling council.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

During the meeting, Abbas informed the Mentor that Sef had been murdered by Malik just two weeks before his arrival, and that the Council had been set up following his arrest. Altaïr demanded that the council turn command of the Order over to him, though Abbas refused. Abbas claimed that Altaïr would not be impartial, since his son had just been murdered and there was the possibility that he would act out of vengeance.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

[[File:New regime 5.png|thumb|left|250px|Abbas and Swami meeting with Altaïr and Maria.]]
The next day, after Altaïr learned the true circumstances surrounding his son's death, he went into the dungeons to see Malik and find out what was really going on. On witnessing that Malik was in an extremely weak state, Altaïr rescued him and left Malik in the care of his family.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

Altaïr then decided to confront Abbas once more, however, Abbas managed to turn the Assassins against Altaïr after he accused him of killing Malik out of vengeance, showing Malik's decapitated head in public as proof. However, in reality, Malik had been killed by Swami on Abbas' orders. Following a brief struggle, which resulted in the death of both Swami and Maria, Altaïr fled from Masyaf, and Abbas usurped the title of Mentor.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

===Later life===
{{Dialogue|Altaïr|They were not lies. In all these years, did you never doubt?|Abbas|Did you ever wonder if there is a next world, Altaïr? In moments I shall know for sure. And if there is, I will see my father, and we will both be there to meet you when it is your time. And then – then there will be no doubt.|Altaïr and Abbas during the latter's final moments.|Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade}}

Twenty years passed before Abbas once again encountered Altaïr. During his reign, the Assassins retreated into their fortress, leaving the surrounding countryside to the mercy of [[Fahad]]'s bandits. Accompanying this, Abbas imposed increasingly high levies on the local civilians, and took severe and paranoid action against any uprising and dissent, like that which followed Altaïr's escape in 1227.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

In the year 1247, Abbas learned that Altaïr had returned from exile, intent on reclaiming his position at the head of the Order. With the help of [[Tazim Al-Sayf]], Malik's son, Altaïr gained the assistance of his fellow Assassins against Abbas, though he stressed the fact that no blood was to be spilled. Because of this act of pacifism, most of Abbas' supporting forces joined Altaïr.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

[[File:Mentor's return 10.png|thumb|250px|Abbas facing Altaïr in Masyaf.]]
After a brief power struggle, which saw most of the Order returning their allegiances to Altaïr, Abbas confronted the old Assassin on the steps of the Masyaf fortress. Once again refusing to accept the truth surrounding his father's death, Abbas ordered his few remaining followers to kill Altaïr. However, the former Mentor extended his arm towards Abbas and placed his other hand on his wrist, and a second later, the castle echoed with the sound of an explosion.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

Looking down, Abbas saw a small stain of blood appear on his chest, which then expanded, until the front of his robes were entirely drenched with blood. He then collapsed and rolled down the stairs to Altaïr's feet, where he uttered his final words, telling his former friend that he hoped there was a second life after death, where they could meet again and where Abbas could know the truth about his father. Closing his eyes, Abbas died, the first victim of the newly wrought Hidden Gun.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

==Personality and characteristics==
{{Quote|I would have defended the '''Order''', Abbas. Instead you have sacrificed everything we stand for. You sacrificed my wife and son on the altar of your own spite – your blank refusal to accept the truth.|Altaïr, about Abbas' actions shortly before the latter's death.|Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade}}

[[File:Mentor's wake 10.png|thumb|left|250px|Abbas, holding the Apple while furiously yelling to Altaïr.]]
Abbas was a weak-minded, though obstinate and strong-willed man, who held his family's honor in high regard. However, these traits came paired with a quick temper whenever someone slandered this honor, which was mostly shown after Altaïr had told Abbas of his father's suicide, wrecking the friendship of the two permanently.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

Though he had great respect for the Assassin Order, Abbas was quick to use the Order's rules to cover his own intentions and actions. After Altaïr killed Al Mualim, Abbas angrily accused Altaïr of bending the rules while his rival burned their Mentor's body – as was forbidden by the Brotherhood's statutes. As soon as the Assassins started to doubt Altaïr because of Abbas' accusations, Abbas pushed him from the cliff the two stood on and secretly took the Apple for himself.<ref name="Revelations"/>

Later still, when Altaïr returned from his journey throughout the Mongol Empire, Abbas used the statutes of the Brotherhood to claim power for himself, and to force Altaïr into exile.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

However, Abbas was not fit to lead others, with his desire and lust for personal power resulting in the corruption of his Brotherhood, as they ended up disregarding the rules of the Brotherhood altogether.<ref name="The Secret Crusade"/>

==Final words==
[[File:Mentor's return 12.png|thumb|250px|Abbas' final moments.]]
*'''Abbas:''' ''I can never forgive you, Altaïr. The lies you told about my family, my father. The humiliation I suffered.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''They were not lies, Abbas. I was ten years old when your father came to see me. He was in tears, begging to be forgiven for betraying my family. Then he cut his own throat. I watched his life ebb away at my feet. I will never forget that image.''
*'''Abbas:''' ''No.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''But he was not a coward, Abbas. He reclaimed his honor.''
*'''Abbas:''' ''I hope there is another life after this one. Then I will see him, and know the truth of his final days... And when it is your time, we will find you, and then there will be no doubts.''

==Trivia==
* "Abbas" translates to "the lion which all lions fear," or "severe in manner of appearance."
**In Arabic, Abbas' surname, "Sofian" (سفيان), means the wind, the one who walks fast, or the humble worshipper of God.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', Abbas was illustrated with all of his fingers, despite the fact that all Assassins were to be missing one of their ring fingers, due to the Hidden Blade requiring a sacrifice to wield it, until Altaïr learned of the necessary information to bypass it. The same went for nearly all of the other Assassins in Masyaf.
**In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', however, this oversight was fixed, with all Assassins during the High Middle Ages having one of their ring fingers removed.

The '''Italian Assassins''' were the [[Italy|Italian]] Brotherhood of [[Assassins]], existing since their formation during the latter half of the 13th century.

Primarily led by the [[House of Auditore|Auditore family]], the Italian Assassins were mainly involved with taking down the corrupt [[House of Borgia|Borgia family]], the ruling body of the [[Templars|Templar Order]] during the [[Renaissance]].

==History==
===Foundation===
[[File:The torch 1.png|thumb|250px|Altaïr passing his Codex to Niccolò Polo.]]
In 1257, the [[Venice|Venetian]] explorers [[Niccolò Polo|Niccolò]] and [[Maffeo Polo]] were invited to stay at the Assassins' fortress of [[Masyaf]] by [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad]], the son of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. After training the two to become Assassins themselves, the elderly Altaïr entrusted them with creating some [[Assassins Guilds]] and guarding his autobiographical [[Codex]]. When the [[Mongols]] eventually attacked, the Polo brothers left Masyaf<ref name="ACTSC">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref> towards their home in Constantinople, where they were successful in creating a [[Turkish Assassins|guild]] in 1258. However, during their journey, the Polos had lost the Codex to the Mongols, thus failing in their promise to protect it.<ref name="ACTSC"/> In 1259, Niccolò and Maffeo journeyed to the Mongol Empire in an effort to retrieve the Codex, but ultimately failed.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

In 1269, the Polos arrived in Venice, Italy, where they created an Assassins Guild,<ref name="Encyclopedia">''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]''</ref> and Niccolò trained his son [[Marco Polo|Marco]] in the ways of the Assassins.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref> The three of them made another journey to the Mongol Empire two years later,<ref name="ACR"/> which resulted in Marco's successful retrieval of the Codex, which they took with them back to Italy in 1295.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Formation of the Auditore===
Marco Polo passed the Codex into the hands of fellow Assassin [[Dante Alighieri]]. The next year, Dante took on the son - who would later take on the name [[Domenico Auditore]] - of a fellow Assassin as an apprentice, and the boy would later in turn take both Dante and the Codex to [[Spain]].<ref name="AC2"/>

In 1321, Dante was killed by the [[Templars]], proving their continuing existence to the Assassins. The Codex was given to Domenico and he was tasked with bringing it to Spain; however, he and his family were attacked by pirates employed by the Templars while being docked in {{Wiki|Otranto}}, prompting Domenico to spread the Codex' pages across several boxes in his ship to prevent the pirates from finding it. Domenico's wife was brutally abused and murdered by the pirates, but Domenico and his son survived.<ref name="AC2"/>

Both Marco Polo and Domenico's father were killed by the Templars in 1324, and using Marco's money, Domenico temporarily settled in [[Florence]], pretending to be part of the city's nobility by taking on the name Auditore. He later bought and renovated a villa in [[Monteriggioni]], which he named the [[Villa Auditore]], which became the headquarters of the Italian Assassins for nearly two centuries.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Templar Conspiracies===
[[File:FTTF (3).png|thumb||250px|left|Ezio asks Lorenzo about the Pazzi conspirators.]]
Around 1478, one of the Italian Assassins, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]], managed to foil a Templar scheme. The scheme involved the murder of [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] and his [[Giuliano de' Medici|brother]], which would allow them to take power in Florence. By preventing this, Ezio ensured that Florence remained an ally to the Assassins.<ref name="AC2"/>

Several years later, around 1480, the same Assassin prevented the Templars from taking power in Venice, where they had murdered the Doge, [[Giovanni Mocenigo]], to have one of their own take his place. By murdering several high-placed Templars, the Assassins managed to install a Doge that was allied to the Assassins, ensuring the allegiance of another city.<ref name="AC2"/>

In Venice, the Italian Assassins also managed to acquire an [[Ezio's Apple of Eden|Apple of Eden]], which Ezio took the [[Vaticano District|Vatican]] to face off against Rodrigo Borgia, [[Grand Master]] of the Templar Order, who had become Pope Alexander VI. Rodrigo and Ezio dueled, with Ezio eventually emerging victorious.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Dealing with the Borgia===
The Assassin victory over Rodrigo enraged his son, [[Cesare Borgia]]. Cesare then rallied his army and attacked Monteriggioni. The attack was short but fierce, and the Templars managed to reclaim the Apple of Eden, kill [[Mario Auditore]], and capture [[Caterina Sforza]].<ref name="ACBH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

[[File:Initiation Rome 1.png|thumb|250px|Initiation of an Apprentice.]]
This resulted in the Italian Assassins moving to [[Rome]], where they continued their struggle against the Borgia. The Assassins managed to break Cesare's defenses by cutting off his funds as well as the support of the French army. Upon Cesare's return to the city, he killed his father in a rage, after which he was soon imprisoned by the new Pope.<ref name="ACBH"/>

After his escape, Ezio Auditore followed him to Valencia and Viana, where he eventually managed to kill Cesare, who had become the Grand Master of the Templars after the death of his father. This broke the Templar power in Italy, allowing the Assassins there to acquire more allies, such as the new Pope.<ref name="ACBH"/>

During these more peaceful times, Ezio Auditore, now the [[Mentor]] of the Italian Assassins, left for [[Masyaf]] to search for [[Altaïr's library]]. During his absence his sister, [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|Claudia Auditore]] led the Assassins. Upon Ezio's return, he decided to retire and appointed [[Lodovico Ariosto]] the new Mentor.<ref name="ACR novel">[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' novel]]</ref>
