Egyptian Brotherhood of Assassins
The Egyptian Assassins were the Brotherhood of Assassins located in Egypt, one of the few Brotherhoods to have existed for over a thousand years.
History
On 12 August 30 BCE, the Egyptian Assassin Amunet infiltrated the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra's palace, and killed her with a venomous asp.[1]
In 1257, Darim Ibn-La'Ahad, son of the Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, moved to Alexandria after the Levantine Assassins were disbanded.[2] Darim joined the widow of his deceased brother and her children,[3] which led to their bloodline integrating into the Egyptian Assassins.[2]
By 1511, the Egyptian Assassins were under the leadership of their Mentor Iskender, a descendant of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. He was captured to be executed that year, but was saved by Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople by the Mentor of the Italian Assassins, Ezio Auditore da Firenze.[2]
