	In August 1257, Masyaf was attacked by the Mongols, who had destroyed several of the Assassins' [[Forts\|fortresses]] in the [[Levant]] the previous year, under the command of [[Hülegü Khan]].

	Niccolò and Maffeo were personally escorted by Altaïr out of Masyaf, who used his "[[Apple of Eden 2\|Apple of Eden]]" – an ancient artifact from the [[Isu]] – to fend off the attacking Mongols.

	Arriving in Constantinople a few weeks later, Niccolò finished his journal on 1 January 1258, and he and Maffeo started the long process of establish an Assassins Guild soon afterwards.

	By 1259, the Assassins Guild was fully running, but the thought and shame of having lost the Codex was never far from Niccolò's and Maffeo's minds.

	Niccolò was also a responsible man, who thought about the effects his actions had on others, and wished to fulfill the assignments others had entrusted to him. Due to this, the loss of Altaïr's Codex haunted him continually, until he and his family eventually managed to retrieve it from the Mongols.<ref name="~~ACR~~"/>		Niccolò was also a responsible man, who thought about the effects his actions had on others, and wished to fulfill the assignments others had entrusted to him.
