Shengtong

You cannot know anything. Only suspect. This article contains content from pre-release sources that may or may not be reflective of canon upon release. This article therefore likely contains spoilers.

Shengtong was a member of the Mongolian Brotherhood of Assassins. Once formidable, she was driven to the edge of insanity when the Brotherhood prevented her from avenging her partner's death to serve a higher purpose and she was sent to the Pagoda of Chengtian Temple to train under Wu. Her want for revenge against those that killed her partner soon turned into resentment and when the war came with the invasions of the Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan, she allied with the Khanate. Wu discovered her betrayal of the Brotherhood, but was killed by Shengtong before he could warn them. She then began secretly teaching Assassin techniques to the other monks at the pagoda for General Tolui Khan.

In 1227, just after assassinating Genghis Khan, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and his entourage stopped at the Pagoda, where they informed Shengtong what had transpired. Shengtong then drugged their tea with a natural sedative in order to give them and the Sword of Eden they carried to Tolui, but some of the monks not allied with her helped them wake up. She took the sword and entered the pagoda, hoping to reach the top and signal the Mongols while sending her allies to deal with the Assassins. Though she managed to set the entire top floor ablaze as soon as she noticed their approach, they managed to recover the Sword of Eden.
