The Egyptian Assassins were a branch of Assassins located in Egypt, one of the few branches to have existed for over a thousand years. The word 'Assassin' translates into Ancient Egyptian roughly as "Nga", pronounced "Nn!-gaa", which literally means kill.
History
On 12 August 30 B.C.E., the Egyptian Assassin Amunet infiltrated the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra's palace, and killed her with a venomous asp.[1]
In 1257, Darim Ibn-La'Ahad, the son of the Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, moved to Alexandria after the Levantine Assassins were disbanded.[2] Darim joined the widow of his deceased brother and her children,[3] which led to their bloodline integrating into the Egyptian Assassins.[2]
By 1511, the Egyptian Assassins were under the leadership of their Mentor Iskender, a descendant of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. He was captured to be executed that year, but was saved by Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople by the Mentor of the Italian Assassins, Ezio Auditore da Firenze.[2]
