The title of Grand Master was the highest rank attainable within the Order of Assassins and granted the bearer full control over the Order.[1] It was comparable to the Templar rank of the same name.
By 1191, the Grand Master was Al Mualim, who ruled from the Assassins' fortress in Masyaf, within the Kingdom of the Holy Land. The following year, after the revelation of Al Mualim's membership within the Knights Templar and subsequent death, the title was taken by his executioner Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, who would utilise his Piece of Eden to fashion himself an incredibly strong, yet lightweight set of "armor". [2]
In 1503, during the Liberation of Rome, Ezio Auditore da Firenze became the Grand Master of the Renaissance Assassins after the previous mentor Niccolo Machiavelli passed the position onto him after coming to the conclusion that Ezio was a stronger leader and would set a better example to the other members of the order.

Trivia
- Altair's special lightweight armour acquirable in Assassin's Creed II is black (similar to Al Mualim's Master Assassin robes) suggesting that the Master Assassin wears black, symbolizing who he is.
- In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Machiavelli (the current Master Asssassin) is not wearing black robes and wears simple clothing, suggesting that the black robe tradition had been forgotten.
