Ishak Pasha
Ishak Pasha was an Ottoman general, statesperson, and Grand Vizier. He was also, secretly, the Mentor of the Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins during the late 15th century.[1]
Biography
Ishak Pasha was largely responsible for the established peace between the Assassins and the Ottomans during the early 16th century, as well as being the individual responsible for finding and recruiting the future Master Assassin, Yusuf Tazim.[2] In 1476, he participated in the Ottoman military crackdown on a Hungarian uprising, personally defeating the rebel leader; a Templar named Vlad Tepes.[1]
At some point, Ishak Pasha also recruited the talented Janissary Murat Bin Husn into his personal guard and soon after into the Assassin Brotherhood;[1] noting that his skills and unwavering loyalty would be a valuable addition to the Assassin cause.[3]
Around 1495, Ishak Pasha and a team of his best Assassins, namely Yusuf, Murat, and Aleksei Zima, travelled to Spain on a secret mission to intercept a trade deal between the Byzantine Templars and the Spanish Inquisition. Their aim was to recover Niccolò Polo's journal, The Secret Crusade, from the clutches of the Inquisition, as it contained critical intel about the locations of the Masyaf Keys. Receiving aid from their Spanish brethren,[4] the Assassins were ultimately unsuccessful in their mission as the Templars had already procured the journal and led them into an ambush,[5] from which the Mentor and his allies barely escaped.[6]
Ishak Pasha later passed away under unknown circumstances, and leadership of the Ottoman Assassins shifted to Yusuf Tazim.[2]
Legacy
Around 1511, Sultan Bayezid II entrusted Ishak's mystical armor to his loyal bodyguard, Murat Bin Husn, who hid it in the Hagia Sophia to ensure its safety.[7] However, some months later, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Mentor of the Italian Assassins, found the scattered memoirs of Ishak Pasha, and used them to locate and retrieve the armor for his own usage.[8]
