Alexandria was one of Egypt's largest cities, founded c. 331 B.C.E by Alexander the Great.
In 30 B.C.E, the Egyptian queen Cleopatra was killed here by the Assassin Amunet with an asp.[1]
During the 1240s, the widow of the Assassin Sef Ibn-La'Ahad moved to the city with their children, after having spent some time in exile in Alamut.[2] In 1257, Sef's brother Darim moved to Alexandria to be with his family, after the Mongols started besieging the Assassins' fortress of Masyaf.[3]
A descendent of Altaïr named Iskender made the mentor of the Assassins in Alexandria. When he was captured and scheduled for execution, Ezio Auditore sent some Assassins to save him from his demise.
The Templar Odai Dunqas also relocated to the city some time around 1505, after being driven away from his home by his family.[3]
In 1511, during an excavation of the destroyed library of Alexandria, the Mamluk Sultan's soldiers discovered two Memory Seals in a chest from 331 BC. Ezio Auditore sent some Assassins from Constantinople to Alexandria to retrieve the seals.[3]
