	The Brotherhood's long history, paralleling that of the nation it represents, is marked by major fluctuations in its fortunes as it [[Assassin-Templar War\|battled]] its Templar counterpart, the [[Shanghai Rite of the Templar Order\|Chinese Rite]]. During the [[Ming dynasty]], they were the frequent target of purges enacted by the government in concert with the Templars. Most infamously, the [[Great Rites Controversy]] during the reign of the Jiajing Emperor exterminated the guild down to a lone Assassin, [[Shao Jun]].

	Under the {{wiki\|Manchu people\|Manchu}} [[Qing dynasty]], the Brotherhood again suffered persecution and, following a [[1720s Chinese Assassin purge\|devastating purge]], lost nearly all of its power and influence. In 1725, the remaining Chinese Assassins under [[Xiao Han]]'s leadership sought to locate a [[Southeast Asian Pieces of Eden\|set]] of three [[Piece of Eden\|Pieces of Eden]] and use them to overthrow the Manchus and establish a new dynasty. However, the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins\|British Assassin]] [[Edward Kenway]] and his organization, the [[Zhawang Corporation\|Zhang Wei Union]], opposed their efforts, disagreeing with their plans to use the artifacts for personal gain.
