Grand Master of the Assassin Order

The title of Grand Master was the highest rank attainable within the Order of Assassins and granted the bearer full control over the Order. It was comparable to the Templar rank of the same name.

By 1191, the Grand Master was Al Mualim, who ruled from the Assassins' fortress in Masyaf, within the Kingdom of the Holy Land. The following year, after the revelation of Al Mualim's membership within the Knights Templar and subsequent death, the title was taken by his executioner Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, who would utilise his Piece of Eden to fashion himself an incredibly strong, yet lightweight set of "armor", in addition he also inventions various weapons for the use of the order, including the pistol, poison blade and fashioned a version of the Hidden Blade that had a metal plate which could withstand powerful blows from skilled opponents and assassination techniques that changed the order indefinitely in both artillerie and skill.

In 1503, during the Liberation of Rome, Ezio Auditore da Firenze became the Grand Master of the Renaissance Assassins after the previous mentor Niccolo Machiavelli passed the position onto him after coming to the conclusion that Ezio was a stronger leader and would set a better example to the other members of the order.
