The Persian Brotherhood of Assassins[1] was the branch of Assassins that operated in Iran.
The Persian Brotherhood was originally a branch of the Hidden Ones who followed in the footsteps of a similar group of assassins from the region led by the Darius, killer of Xerxes I of Persia. In 1090 CE, the Persian branch reorganized itself as the Assassin Brotherhood.
History
Achaemenid Empire
In 465 BCE, a Persian elite by the name of Artabanus formed a group of freedom fighters to oppose the Achaemenid King of Kings Xerxes I, who was supported by the Order of the Ancients, a predecessor group to the Templar Order.[2] His deed became renowned among the later Assassin Brotherhood, for it went down in their history as the earliest recorded usage of the Hidden Blade, their iconic weapon. For this reason, Darius was posthumously honored as one of their predecessors.[1][3]
Assassin state
In 1090, Hassan-i Sabbāh reorganized the Brotherhood into a public state based in Alamut, a castle in northern Persia.[1][2] In 1162, during the reign of Hassan the Younger, an Assassin later known as Al Mualim was sent to the Levant to expand Assassin influence, establishing another branch autonomous from Alamut. This led to the construction of the fortress of Masyaf.[4]
After Al Mualim's successor, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, was led to exile from Masyaf by Abbas Sofian in a coup d'état in 1228, he sought refuge in Alamut fortress alongside his family. The former Mentor remained in Alamut for almost 20 years, eventually deciding to return and reclaim Masyaf in 1247.[5]
In 1256, the Persian Assassins in Alamut were besieged by the forces of the Mongol Empire led by Hülegü Khan. The Mongols had come seeking revenge for the assassination of their leader Genghis Khan in 1227,[6] and were then under the leadership of Möngke Khan, the founder of the Mongolian Rite of the Templar Order.[7] Hülegü Khan later claimed the Assassins in Alamut put up no resistance against the Mongols, and the fortress was subsequently destroyed.[6]
Timurid dynasty
By the time of the Timurid Empire, the Persian Brotherhood still maintained foothold in Persia. During the 15th century, the Persian Mentor sent one of their Assassin recruits, Dariâ, to Venice to aid in the rebuilding Venetian Brotherhood. [citation needed]
Afsharid dynasty
In 1747, Salah Bey, the captain of guards for Nāder Shāh assassinated the Iranian ruler and hoped to retrieve his Piece of Eden, the Koh-i-Noor diamond. However, the Koh-i-Noor had already been passed off to Ahmad Shāh Durrānī, an Afghan chief, who therefore became the next target of Salah Bey.[8]
