Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service?

The Middle East, initially known as the "Near East", is a Eurocentric term coined to define a geographical region that roughly encompasses the western part of Asia and Egypt. It is bordered by the rest of Asia to the north and east, by Africa to the southwest, and by Europe to the northwest. The Middle East roughly covers the area from Egypt to the western part of Turkey, and has its coastline to the west by the Mediterranean Sea and to the east by the Indian Ocean.[1]

Throughout its history, the Middle East has often been involved in several wars, fought over religious differences, the region's natural resources, or simply for its strategic value. Such conflicts include the First,[2] Third,[3][4][5] and Fourth Crusades,[6] World War II's Mediterranean theater, and the twenty-year War on Terror.

Since the dawn of recorded history, the region has been the home of various empires and kingdoms, some of which were, at times, influenced by either the Order of the Ancients[7][8][9] or their successors, the Templars. However, there were also numerous Assassin branches in operation around the area as well, keeping Templar ambitions in check. The Egyptian, Persian, Levantine, and Babylonian Assassins were all instrumental in toppling empires and eliminating Templar puppets across the region.
