Below is a chronological list of notable victims, by faction and assassin responsible.
Following his ascension to Mentor of the Order, he carried out several assassinations to aid the Cypriot Resistance in 1192, and continued to eliminate notable targets throughout his life.

Following a meeting with George Washington, Ratonhnhaké:ton found himself in an alternate reality created by an Apple of Eden. He assassinated several individuals while experiencing the alternate timeline.
Following his kidnapping by Abstergo Industries and training with the Assassins, Desmond was forced by Juno to assassinate Lucy Stillman in the Colosseum Vault. He later infiltrated the Abstergo Industries headquarters in Rome and assassinated two prominent members of their Order.
Several assassinations similar to those carried out by Assassins were instigated by Templars at various points in history. The following is a chronological list of Templar assassinations by century and, if known, the Templar responsible.
