The Constantinople Assassins Guild was founded during the Renaissance[1][2] and was allied with the Ottoman Empire.[3]
History
1204 formation attempt
In the year 1204, during the Fourth Crusade, Grand Master of the Assassin Order, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, attempted to spread the Order's influence to Constantinople. However, the chaos that was caused by the Fourth Crusade forced Altaïr and the Assassins to flee from the city.[4]
1257 formation attempt
In the year 1257, the explorers Niccolò and Maffeo Polo were invited by Altaïr's son Darim to the Assassins' headquarters of Masyaf to meet Altaïr. Altaïr explained to the explorers that he wanted them to return to their hometown of Constantinople and form a guild there, and in Italy. The explorers travelled to Constantinople, hiding the five seals Altaïr had given them throughout the city and attempted to start a guild,[4] but the guild would not be formed for around another 250 years.[1][2]
Formation
Circa 1503, the Grand Master of the Assassin Order Ezio Auditore da Firenze sent a group of Assassins to Constantinople to steal maps of the city from Piri Reis and remove Ferdinand II of Aragon's spies from the Jewish refuges from Spain that were travelling to Constantinople, where they were welcomed by Sultan Bayezid II. After having completed in the latter task, a guild was ultimately formed in the city.[1][2]
Fight with the Byzantines
In the year 1511, the guild was led by Yusuf Tazim and were allies of the Ottomans. That same year, Ezio Auditore da Firenze moved to Constantinople and the guild engaged in a fight with the remnants of the Byzantine Empire, who were puppeteered by the Templars.[3]
