History[edit | edit source]
As of 1511, a wealthy merchant in Marseille possessed a treasure rumored to have been of Isu origin. Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople traveled to the city and retrieved the artifact from the merchant's home.[1]
That same year, King Louis XII, tired of Marseille's threats of secession and influenced by his Templar advisors, sent his army to banish all Assassins from the city. Aided by their Ottoman brothers, the French Assassins were able to stop the French army, without needing to resort to violence.[2] Later, the Assassins rebuilt their ranks by recruiting disgruntled soldiers.[3] By eliminating the Templars, the Assassins freed Marseille from their influence, and assisted in the restoration of the city.[4]
In the early 18th century, Marseille was bursting with rogues and rapscallions. The fleet of the Welsh pirate Edward Kenway sold tobacco to the men who ran the city's prison.[5] When the city was struck by the plague in 1720, the fleet provided cocoa to Marseille's doctors as a new medicine.[6]
Sometime before the French Revolution, Arno Dorian and Élise de la Serre visited Marseille, where they became involved in a brawl.[7]
