Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article has a lot of room for expansion. Please improve it with additional information in accordance with the Manual of Style |
An Assassin cell is a unit of the modern organizational structure of the Assassin Brotherhood, in use since the 20th century. Composed of smaller groups of Assassins spread out across the globe, it is a successor to the former system of guilds devised by the Mentor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. In contrast to guilds, cells reflect a far more decentralized command structure, though like their antecedent, there was generally one per major city.
Organization
Cells effectively function as small, isolated teams of Assassins operating across the world.[1] They can have as little as four members,[2] essentially serving as a squad—as was the case with Desmond Miles' team[3][4]—or be large enough to constitute a community.[5][6] To maintain secrecy and security, many cells live off the grid, away from urban centers with stronger Templar presence,[1][2] and this has especially been the case since the Great Purge of 2000.[7]
Bases are generally isolated compounds in wilderness, such as the Farm located in the Black Hills of South Dakota.[5][6] Despite this, the jurisdiction of each cell corresponds to cities. Virtually every major city—in addition to any deemed strategically significant—had a cell before the Great Purge.[1]
While far more decentralized than that of the former system of Guilds, the title of Mentor under this new structure was reserved for only a single individual who had oversight for all cells on the planet whereas previously, each guild had its own Mentor. With the development of cells, the identity of the Mentor became a closely-guarded secret, unknown to even most Assassins.[1] It became a far more prestigious position because the Mentor was expected to harbor the accumulated knowledge of all his predecessors, as well as coordinate the activities of every cell across the world.[7][8] Since the assassination of the Mentor at the hands of sleeper agent Daniel Cross, the position has been vacant, with de facto leadership undertaken by William Miles and Gavin Banks.[1]
