The Fall of Masyaf was an event during the 13th century where the grandson of Genghis Khan, Hulagu Khan, led an assault on the fortress of Masyaf in an attempt to annihilate the Assassin Order for their part in his grandfather's death in 1227.
During 1257, the Grand Master of the Assassin Order, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (then 92 years old), was interviewed by Niccolò Polo and his brother Maffeo Polo in order to document the stories of his life and the Order. Eventually the brothers needed to make their departure, as the Mongolians attacked unexpectedly and besieged the village. Though most of the Assassins left the fortress to increase their numbers throughout the world, enough remained to hold off the Mongolians temporaily. Passing on his life's work: the Codex and Seals, Altaïr instructed the brothers to hide the seals through the city of Constantinople.
Before escaping, Niccolò told the Grand Master to "take care of [him]self", to which he replied he would "consider it."
