Hassan (died 1491) was a corrupted merchant operating in Murcia, Spain, who allied himself with Spanish Rite of the Templar Order during the Spanish Inquisition.
During the 15th century, Hassan worked as a corrupted merchant who sold the seized properties of victims during the Inquisition. He later came to work with Inquisitors, one of which was Ojeda, a member of the Templar order. Hassan would meet with Ojeda in a Dominican Chapter House in the city to discuss the dealings.[1]
In 1491, the Spanish Assassins, having discovered his correspondences with Ojeda, tracked him down in the city and assassinated him, thus striking a blow to the Inquisition's financial state.[1]
