The rank of Master Assassin was one of the highest obtainable within the Assassin's Order.
In 1191, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad held the position before being demoted to a novice following his failure to obtain the Apple of Eden beneath Solomon's Temple. He eventually regained this title, and held it during the assassinations of Robert de Sable and Al Mualim.[1] One of his descendants, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, also obtained the rank in 1499.[2]
A Master Assassin was presumed to have reached the peak of his learning as an Assassin; the rank garnered a large amount of respect from other members within the Order, and indicated individuals who possessed uncommon skill and talent in both the arts of stealth and assassination. A Master Assassin was meant to embody the Creed; they will never harm an innocent, always hide in plain sight, and never compromise the Brotherhood.[1]

As all assassins, they still possessed the beak-like design upon the hood, but their robes were generally longer, forming a bird-like "tail" that fluttered whenever they performed a leap of faith or stood on a ledge. In addition, their leather belts were larger, their red strips wider and longer, and they had permission to carry any sort of weapon. The color of their robes remained white, and the only member allowed to wear another color, specifically, black, was the Grand Master.[1]
Renaissance
With the order less public, a uniform no longer existed. Assassins were a small group, with acess and knowledge to weapons and retained their free-running, hidden blades and beak-like hoods traditions.[3]
In the 1500's, Ezio Auditore began the reassembling of the Brotherhood, and reinstated some of the uniforms guidelines.[2]
