Algiers

Algiers is the capital and largest city of Algeria.

History

In 1511, King Samis El Felipe was captured by the king of Spain, and Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople by Ezio Auditore da Firenze corresponded with him while he was in prison, exchanging letters back and forth in order to maintain contact.

The amir Selim of Algiers also proposed to turn a blind eye to the activities of the Assassins in Algiers, in return for protection of a community of Moors living on the island Penon, captured by the Spanish.

Later, the Ottoman Assassins took over Algiers from Templar control, and restored and expanded the city, installing several Assassin Dens in the process.
