The Eight Tigers were a powerful group of eunuch administrators that controlled the Chinese rite of the Templar Order and the Chinese imperial court during the reign of the Ming dynasty Zhengde Emperor. Originally led by Liu Jin until his death in 1521, the group was composed of seven other eunuchs, respectively Ma Yongcheng, Luo Yang, Gao Feng, Wei Bin, Qiu Ju, Yu Dayong and Zhang Yong.

After Zhengde was succeeded by the puppet Jiajing Emperor, the Templars manipulated him into initiating a purge of the Chinese Assassin Brotherhood. After the Assassin survivor Shao Jun returned to China to rebuild her Brotherhood, she began exacting revenge on the Tigers, tracking them one after the other.
