An '''Assassin bureau''', or '''Haven''',<ref name="Last Quest">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]''</ref> was a command center used by the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], most often located within cities where they also served as safe houses. Their primary function was to act as bases of operation through which missions could be processed and overseen. Bureaus typically doubled as shops as well. More than mere fronts for the Assassins, these stores would trade in genuine merchandise such as silks,<ref name="The Hunt Begins">''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'' – [[The Hunt Begins]]</ref> carpets,<ref name="The Red Hospital">''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'' – [[The Red Hospital]]</ref> and pottery,<ref name="Knowledge Tamir">''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[Knowledge (Tamir)]]</ref> or offer services like tailoring,<ref name="The Fall TPB">[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall (TPB)|''Assassin's Creed: The Fall'' (TPB)]]</ref> generating income for the Brotherhood.

A tradition that dated back to at least the 1st century BCE, bureaus were an integral component of the Assassins' operational structure.<ref name="The Essential Guide">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Essential Guide]]''</ref> Throughout the ages, not all [[Assassin Guild]]s utilized the bureau as an administrative unit, at times relying on other organizational methods such as [[Assassin Den|dens]],<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref> but the system remained in use into the 20th century.<ref name="The Fall TPB" /> It was indefinitely rendered obsolete after the [[Great Purge]] of 2000 which decimated the Assassins and forced them to rely almost exclusively on mobile [[Assassin cell|cells]].<ref name="The Fall TPB" /><ref name="The Essential Guide" /><ref name="ACB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==History==
===Ptolemaic Egypt===
[[File:ACO Hidden Ones Bureau.jpg|thumb|250px|left|The Hidden Ones bureau in Memphis]]
The first known bureau was founded in [[Memphis]], [[Egypt]],<ref name="Birth of the Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Birth of the Creed]]</ref> sometime between 47 and 44 BCE, not long after the [[Medjay]] [[Bayek]] and his wife [[Amunet|Aya]] co-founded the Hidden Ones.<ref name="LastOfTheMedjay">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Last of the Medjay]]</ref> By 43 BCE, Aya had established another bureau in [[Rome]]'s [[Pantheon]] district.<ref name="Birth of the Creed"/>

By 38 BCE, a third bureau was established in the [[Sinai]] by one of Bayek's first Hidden One recruits, [[Tahira]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – ''[[The Hidden Ones (DLC)|The Hidden Ones]]'' – [[The Hidden Ones (memory)]]</ref> The Sinai bureau had a secret exit that backed onto mountains.<ref name="The Hidden Ones">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – ''[[The Hidden Ones (DLC)|The Hidden Ones]]''</ref> Unfortunately, the bureau was destroyed by Roman soldiers in a fire attack,<ref name="No Chains Too Thick">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – ''[[The Hidden Ones (DLC)|The Hidden Ones]]'' – [[No Chains Too Thick]]</ref> and the Hidden Ones of Sinai fled to the mountains of the [[Arsinoe Nome]],<ref name="Greater Good">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – ''[[The Hidden Ones (DLC)|The Hidden Ones]]'' – [[The Greater Good]]</ref> where they set up a new bureau.<ref name="The Hidden Ones" />

At some point before 30 BCE, a bureau was established in [[Alexandria]]. This bureau would be immortalized as the location for the final {{Wiki|synod}} of the Hidden Ones presided by [[Amunet]] as documented in [[The Magas Codex]].<ref name="Magas Codex 1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[The Magas Codex]] I of VI</ref>

===Roman Empire===
[[File:ACV Camulodunum bureau 4.png|thumb|250px|The abandoned Camulodunum bureau in the 9th century]]
The [[Roman Hidden Ones]] that [[British Brotherhood of Assassins|operated]] in the {{Wiki|Roman Britain|province}} of [[England|Britannia]] between the years 100 and 430 CE had six main bureaus. These were located in [[Leicester|Ratae]], [[London|Londinium]], [[Winchester|Venta Belgarum]], [[York|Eboracum]], [[Colchester|Camulodunum]], and the [[Temple of Ceres bureau|Temple of Ceres]].<ref name="English Locales of Note">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Layla Hassan's personal files]]: "English Locales of Note"</ref> [[Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins|Another branch]] of Hidden Ones operated in {{Wiki|Roman Gaul}} around the same time and had established four bureaus near the [[Seine]], one in the cities of [[Champlieu Ruins|Champlieu]], [[Diodurum Ruins|Diodurum]], and [[Gisacum Ruins|Gisacum]] which were all centered around their main base in [[Paris|Lutetia]] itself.<ref name="Siege Of Paris">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – ''[[The Siege of Paris]]''</ref>

Shortly after the death of the Western [[Roman Empire|Roman Emperor]] [[Honorius]] in 423 CE, ''[[Master|magister]]'' [[Vitus]] wrote to the Hidden Ones stationed at Ratae, warning them that Britain would be imminently unstable due to the local tribes who harbored ill sentiments towards them having filled the power vacuum left by the departing [[Roman army|Roman legions]]. Reasoning that it would be better to restart the branch later rather than suffer the loss of its members to unnecessary bloodshed, he ordered that the letter's recipient immediately evacuate and move their headquarters to the [[Germany|German]] city of [[Cologne]] and join forces with the [[German Brotherhood of Assassins|local chapter]].<ref name="A Brief History">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[A Brief History of the Hidden Ones]]</ref>

Within the year, word of the evacuation reached the Hidden Ones in Gaul who had experienced similar misunderstandings themselves with the local {{Wiki|Gauls|Gallic tribes}}. Seeing the situation was untenable, the ''magister'' known only as "[[C. C.]]" wrote to the surrounding bureaus from Lutetia and ordered all Hidden Ones to hide the three keys necessary to unlock the Lutetia location, seal the rooms, and likewise abandon Gaul until such time had passed that they could safely return and resume [[Assassin-Templar War|their fight]] against tyrants and the [[Order of the Ancients]] for [[human]]ity's freedom. Before closing their letter, C. C. also informed the Hidden Ones that Vitus had extended an invitation from Cologne, adding that they too would join any who were willing to travel to {{Wiki|Germania}}. While the majority of C. C.'s orders were carried out, a few Hidden Ones refused to abandon their posts and decided to stay in Gaul to continue their work on a more individual scale.<ref name="Hidden">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – ''[[The Siege of Paris]]'' – [[Hidden]]</ref>

===Middle Ages===
====9th century====
[[File:ACMir Harbiyah Bureau 1.jpg|left|thumb|250px|The Hidden Ones bureau in Harbiyah, Baghdad]]
In the early 860s, the [[Hidden Ones of Alamut]] expanded their outreach from their [[Alamut|fortress]] into [[Baghdad]],<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Baghdad Bound]]</ref> where they established a number of bureaus throughout the city to combat the Order of the Ancients' influence.<ref name="Branching Out">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Branching Out]]</ref> Initially maintaining only one bureau in the [[Harbiyah]] district, the Hidden Ones soon expanded to also have bureaus in the [[Abbasiyah]] and [[Karkh]] districts, as well as in Karkh's [[Sharqiyah]] sub-district.<ref name="Mirage">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]''</ref>

Each Baghdad bureau was led by a [[Rafiq]], who granted Hidden Ones permission to carry out assassinations by giving them a [[feather]] to dip in the target's blood, and featured a notice board where various [[Assassination contract|contracts]] were posted. The bureaus also included a workshop for one of the Banū Mūsā brothers—[[Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Musa|Abu Jafar]], [[Ahmad ibn Musa|Ahmad]], and [[Al-Hasan ibn Musa|Al-Hasan]]—to work on their inventions and gadgets, which were given to the Hidden Ones to aid them during their missions.<ref name="Mirage" />

By 870, some earlier Hidden Ones bureaus still operated, like in Alexandria and Rome. In [[Constantinople]], the bureau was led by the Alamut Hidden One [[Basim Ibn Ishaq]], while the Frankish Hidden Ones established a new bureau in the ''Bon Berger'', a [[tavern]] in [[Chinon]]. That year, a [[caravanserai]] bureau in [[Antioch]] was attacked by the [[Snake-Eaters]], a group allied to the Ancients to control the [[Silk Road]]. Basim asked the help of the bureaus of Chinon, Alexandria, and Rome, but only the two firsts could send members. As they routed their enemies from the city, the Antioch bureau was rebuilt while the Frankish and Egyptian Hidden Ones eliminated the Snake-Eaters in [[Chang'an]], where they established a bureau.<ref name="The Silk Road">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Silk Road]]''</ref>

[[File:ACV Ravensthorpe Bureau.jpg|thumb|250px|The Ravensthorpe bureau]]
In 873, Basim and [[Hytham]] established a [[Ravensthorpe bureau|bureau]] in the [[Norse people|Norse]] settlement of [[Ravensthorpe]] in England with the help of their ally, the [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] of the [[Raven Clan]].<ref name="To Serve the Light">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[To Serve the Light...]]</ref> Because of Hytham's severe wounding in his attempt to assassinate [[Kjotve the Cruel]],<ref name="Cruel Destiny">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[A Cruel Destiny]]</ref> Basim assigned him to oversee and upkeep the bureau. Inside the office, Hytham kept numerous scrolls detailing missions and members of the Order of the Ancients. To combat the Order's reign in England, Hytham often received letters from a "[[Alfred the Great|Poor Fellow-Soldier]] of [[Jesus of Nazareth|Christ]]", who relayed information on key assassination targets in the cities of Lunden, Jorvik, and Wincestre.<ref name="Intel">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[More Intel]]</ref>

During the 870s, Eivor, at Hytham's request, explored the abandoned Hidden Ones bureaus in England and recovered pages of the Magas Codex, contracts for assassinations, and letters between the members of the bureaus.<ref name="A Brief History" /> After sailing to [[Francia]] in 885 to assist the second [[Vikings|Viking]] [[Siege of Paris (885–886)|siege of Paris]], Eivor took time to visit all the ruined Gallic Hidden Ones bureaus and recovered the keys to the Paris office, where she found and claimed [[Charlemagne]]'s short [[sword]] [[Joyeuse]] from a [[treasure chest]] that had been secreted away. As she left the premises, she indirectly met the Frankish Hidden One [[Abbo Cernuus]] under the alias "AC" by way of a letter he left on the ground after she had entered the building.<ref name="Hidden" />

====Crusades====
Bureaus were widely used by the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins]], with some cities such as [[Acre]], [[Damascus]], [[Jerusalem]],<ref name="AC1">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref> and [[Tyre]]<ref name="ACAC">''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]''</ref> having one per district. Bureaus acted as sanctuaries for members of the Assassin Order, where their users could physically and mentally prepare themselves for a mission, allowing them to restock on [[Throwing knife|throwing knives]], sleep, or to meditate. It also allowed Assassins a place to wait for the appropriate moment to strike or for the dust to settle after an assassination.<ref name="AC1" />

Inside each bureau resided a leader, who held either the [[rank]] of [[Rafiq]] or higher. They would often give Assassins useful information on where to learn more about their targets. Once the strike had been planned and approved by the bureau leader, an Assassin was given a [[feather]] to soak in the blood of their target as proof of their success.<ref name="AC1" />These bureaus all had a similar construction. The exterior of the building was typically quite discreet, resembling that of common construction, although they did not have any obvious windows or doors. The entrance was usually located on the roof.<ref name="AC1" />

[[File:AC1 Bureau Side Chamber.png|thumb|250px|left|A Third Crusade bureau's main chamber]]
A main chamber served as the entrance hall to the bureau, and was a small living area comprised of two fountains, potted plants, and several pillows and carpets. This place was intended as a location for Assassins to rest before and after assassinations. The walls were decorated with hanging carpets and the [[Assassin insignia]], while the ceiling was grated with an opening that acted as an entrance into the Bureau.<ref name="AC1" />

Some bureaus took the living area comforts a bit further, as the Acre bureau's walls were lined with books while the Damascus bureau contained a chess set and a board on which to play. When the city [[Soldier|guards]] were on alert, the bureau's roof was closed with a grated panel to prevent them from discovering the place and subsequently violating a tenet of [[the Creed]].<ref name="AC1" />

[[File:AC1 Bureau Main Chamber.png|thumb|225px|The Bureau leader's chamber]]
A bureau leader's chamber was adjacent to the main chamber. From behind a desk, each leader addressed those who would come to speak with them, while also studying and attending to the Assassin Order's operations in that respective city. Behind the desk were bookshelves and closets, where registries of missions were kept. The books and scrolls the leader had access to were also located in this area. Across the room, a raised walkway held weapons, books, and other items that could assist Assassins in their missions.<ref name="AC1" />

===Renaissance===
Before [[Hülegü Khan]] ordered the [[Fall of Masyaf|destruction]] of Masyaf<ref name="Passing the Torch">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' – [[Passing the Torch]]</ref> in retaliation for their part in [[Assassination of Genghis Khan|assassinating]] his grandfather [[Genghis Khan]],<ref name="Reflections">''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 2|Issue #2]]</ref> the Levantine Assassins' [[Mentor]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] sent brothers [[Maffeo Polo|Maffeo]] and [[Niccolò Polo]] to establish new guilds and bureaus around the [[Mediterranean Sea]] such as [[Italy]] and Constantinople where Assassin presence had waned.<ref name="Passing the Torch" />

In 1512, a team of Assassins established a new bureau in [[Venice]] after taking control of an old Templar stronghold.<ref name="BOV">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood of Venice]]'' – [[Forgotten Headquarters]]</ref> In 1519, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] led a group of Assassins to found new bureaus in Europe and beyond following clues left by [[Leonardo da Vinci]].<ref name="Last Quest" />

===Golden Age of Piracy===
[[File:AC4 Assassin Bureau.png|thumb|left|250px|The Assassin bureau in Havana]]
During the early 18th century, the [[West Indies Brotherhood of Assassins|West Indies Brotherhood]] had bureaus spread throughout the major cities in the [[Caribbean]], which varied in size and appearance. The bureaus in [[Havana]] and [[Kingston]] held at least one building and had a surrounding courtyard or walls; the [[Nassau]] bureau consisted of a small collection of buildings; and the [[Cayman Islands]]' "ghost" bureau had no defined buildings or areas to speak of.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

After killing the Assassin turncoat [[Duncan Walpole]] in 1715,<ref name="Edward Kenway">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Edward Kenway (memory)]]</ref> [[Edward Kenway]] recovered and subsequently sold a map detailing the four bureaus' locations to the [[West Indies Rite of the Templar Order|local branch]] of [[Templars]] operating in the region,<ref name="Walpole">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Mister Walpole, I Presume?]]</ref> unwittingly putting the Assassins stationed there in danger. Edward eventually traveled to the four bureaus and made amends for disclosing their locations;<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[The Taíno Assassin]]<br>↑ ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Bureau Under Attack]]<br>↑ ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[The Maroon Assassin]]<br>↑ ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Oh Brother...]]</ref> in doing so, he assisted the bureau [[Master Assassin|Masters]] in various ways, in return for a collection of [[Templar key|keys]] that would grant him access to a set of [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag outfits|Templar Armor]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[This Old Cove]]</ref>

===Seven Years' War===
[[File:ColorofRight 10.png|thumb|250px|A gang headquarters in New York]]
The [[American Brotherhood of Assassins|Colonial Assassins]] during the mid-18th century primarily operated out of the [[Davenport Homestead]], but they also maintained a number of bureaus throughout the [[United States|British]] and [[Canada|French Colonies]], namely in [[New York City|New York]], [[Albany]], [[Lac Eternel]], [[Two Bends]], and [[Halifax]]. Because the Colonial Brotherhood worked closely with the local [[Gang|criminal gangs]], who supplied them with information and manpower, these bureaus doubled as [[gang headquarters]].<ref name="Rogue">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>

During the [[Seven Years' War]], the Assassin-turned-Templar [[Shay Cormac]] cleared all of the Brotherhood's gang headquarters with the assistance of the [[British Army]], to put a stop to the gangs' activities and cripple the Assassins' information network.<ref name="Rogue" />

===Victorian era===
[[File:ACS Somewhere That's Green 14.png|left|thumb|250px|Henry and the Frye twins inside the curiosity shop]]
In the mid-19th century, the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins|British Brotherhood]] had a bureau in the [[Whitechapel]] district of London, which was headed by the only Assassin left in the city, [[Jayadeep Mir|Henry Green]]. Because of the Templars' strong presence in London at the time, the bureau was disguised as a curiosity shop to avoid detection by the [[Blighters]], a gang allied with the Templars. From the bureau, Henry maintained contact with his allies in the city,<ref name="Green">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Somewhere That's Green]]</ref> as well as the British [[Assassin Council]], whom he petitioned for help against the Templar threat.<ref name="Spanner">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[A Spanner in the Works]]</ref>

Following the arrival of the twin Assassins [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]] in London in 1868, they helped Henry eliminate the Templar presence in Whitechapel and claimed [[Rexford Kaylock]]'s [[Train Hideout|train hideout]], which became the Assassins' new base of operations.<ref name="Gang War">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Gang War (Whitechapel)]]</ref>

===Russian Revolution===
[[File:ACC Russia - In Safe Hands (10).png|thumb|250px|Nikolai at the Moscow bureau]]
By 1918, the [[Russian Brotherhood of Assassins|Russian Brotherhood]] had a bureau in [[Moscow]]. That year, the Assassin [[Nikolai Orelov]] was sent to the bureau after his retrieval of a [[Precursor box]] and rescue of [[Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia|Anastasia Nikolaevna]], in order to report back to the [[Russian Mentor|Mentor]]. While waiting in the bureau, Nikolai overheard a conversation between two Assassins and learned about the Brotherhood's plans with Anastasia, prompting him to escape the building in order to rescue the girl from the experiments she was about to be subjected to.<ref name="Safe Hands">''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia]]'' – [[In Safe Hands]]</ref>

===Modern times===
By the year 2000, an Assassin bureau disguised as a dry-cleaners was located in [[Philadelphia, United States]], and used photographs of feathers, coupled with the codeword "Rafiq", as proof of identity. Thanks to information from the Assassin turncoat [[Daniel Cross]], the Templars learned about the bureau's existence and security measures, and were able to breach it, massacring all the Assassins inside.<ref name="The Fall TPB" /> Countless other bureaus across the world were targeted by the Templars, forcing the Assassins to abandon their safehouses and abolish the system of bureaus altogether.<ref name="The Essential Guide" />
