Assassination targets were individuals that the Assassin Order – and in select instances, the Templar Order – deemed worthy of elimination. Over the centuries, the Assassins killed many individuals they believed to be corrupt and a danger to humanity, particularly Templars and their associates.
Below is a chronological list of notable victims, by faction and assassin responsible.
Following his ascension to Mentor of the Order, he carried out several assassinations to aid the Cypriot Resistance in 1192, and continued to eliminate notable targets throughout his life.
During the early 18th century, Adéwalé served as quartermaster on Edward Kenway's ship before eventually joining the Assassin Brotherhood and assuming the captaincy of his own vessel.
Before, during, and after the events of the American Revolutionary War, the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton eliminated various Templars in order to protect his tribe and further the pursuit of freedom for the citizens of the thirteen colonies of the United States.
Following a meeting with George Washington, Ratonhnhaké:ton found himself in an alternate reality created by an Apple of Eden. There, he assassinated several individuals while experiencing the alternate timeline.
Following the death of his adoptive father, the Templar Grand Master François de la Serre, Arno joined the Assassin Brotherhood and embarked on a quest to find the perpetrators of the murder and their motivations.

In 1841, two years after the events that led to the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and while India was in the midst of a war between the Sikh Empire and the East India Company, Arbaaz Mir began a race with the Templars to recover the famed Koh-i-Noor diamond.
