The Syrian Assassins, also known as Hashashin, were the branch of Assassins located along the Levant.

Primarily fighting their sworn enemies, the Knights Templar, during the Crusades, the Syrian Assassins were a more public organization than the other Assassin branches. Centering themselves in their fortress in the village of Masyaf, the Assassins quite often found their headquarters attacked by both crusaders and Saracens alike.

Under the leadership of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, the Assassin Order was rebuild, with new techniques being created and rules and restrictions were undone. Using knowledge gained from an "Apple of Eden" to do so, the Syrian Assassins were eventually spread to different locations around the globe - an effort to make the Assassin Order a more global organization - with the Syrian Assassins becoming the forebearer to many other Assassin branches in the process.
