'''Maffeo Polo''' (c. 1230 - unknown) was a [[Venice|Venetian]] merchant and explorer, the brother of [[Niccolò Polo]] and uncle of [[Marco Polo|Marco]]. Maffeo and his brother were influential members of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], who founded several [[:Category:Assassin branches|Assassin branches]], such as in the [[wikipedia:Byzantine Empire|Byzantine Empire]] and [[Italy]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Maffeo traveled extensively between 1252 and 1294, but it was in the year of 1257 that Maffeo and his brother traveled to the aged-fortress of [[Masyaf]] to meet with [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]]. They spent six months in Masyaf, and while his brother spent much of his time with Altaïr, Maffeo grew restless, longing to set sail and leave the Assassin's fortress behind. To counter his brother's boredom, Niccolò told him about the history of the fortress.<br />
<br />
During the [[Fall of Masyaf|preliminary Mongol attacks]] on the fortress in 1257, the Mentor bequeathed [[Seals of Altaïr|five keys]] to Maffeo's brother, asking him to keep them safe. Altaïr also gave the brothers his [[Codex]], though it was lost two days later during an attack by a [[Mongols|Mongol]] scouting party. Following these events, the Polos', now honorary members of the Assassin Order, returned to [[Constantinople]]; their mission was then to create an Assassins Guild within the city.<br />
