In 1250, the Mamluks rose up against the reigning Ayyubid dynasty in Egypt. Forming an alliance with the Assassins, an unidentified Assassin brought them the Scepter of Aset to aid them in their efforts against the Ayyubids, effectively laying the foundation for the Bahri dynasty.[2] The Scepter remained in Mamluk hands until 1340, when it was stolen by the Templars. A Templar agent, Leila, also killed the reigning Mamluk Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad in 1341, leaving the Sultanate in a momentary state of disarray. After the Assassin Numa Al'Khamsin retrieved the Scepter, he met with the three contenders for the Sultan's throne in Cairo; however, he refused to hand the Scepter over to them, saying that it would be safer in Assassin hands. Enraged, the three men had Numa thrown into imperial dungeons.[3] |
