The grappling hook is a tool consisting of one or multiple hooks attached to a rope or cable, which can be used to catch and hold on to objects.[1] A highly versatile tool with many possible applications, it has been used by various members of the Assassin Order at different points in history, usually to facilitate traversal.
History
In 1190, Rafik, the bureau leader of Damascus, gave Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad a grappling hook to aid him in his quest for the Chalice. It allowed the Assassin to traverse gaps and chasms too wide for him to freerun over and proved indispensable at various points in his mission. He also improvised by using it to pull enemy guards towards him—in much the same manner that later Assassins would employ the rope dart—allowing him to catch enemies from afar.[2]
In the late 16th century, the Japanese Assassin Fujibayashi Naoe made regular use of a grappling hook during traversal.[3]
In 1725, the Japanese mercenary Nagamasa and his men carried grappling hooks, which they used during a failed raid on a village to try and scale its walls.[4]
In 1841, the Indian Assassin Arbaaz Mir used a rope dart as a grappling hook during his quest to recover the Koh-i-Noor and the Precursor box from the Templar William Sleeman.[5]
The rope launcher, most famously wielded by the British Assassins during the Victorian era, functioned similarly to a grappling hook, creating its own ziplines.[6][7]
