Nubians
The Nubians are an African people who lived mainly in a region along the Nile that is now the southern part of Egypt and the northern part of Sudan. In modern times, descendants of the ancient Nubians still live in the same area.[1]
Notable members
Two members of Nubian descent were Khaliset[2] and Taharqa,[3] who were members of the Order of the Ancients.[4] Another member was Kensa, a former slave turned gladiator,[5] who was later recruited into the Egyptian Hidden Ones by her old friend and Hidden Ones' co-founder Bayek.[6]
History
In August 1176, Nubian warriors joined Saladin on his invasion effort against the Assassins in Masyaf. However, despite his army, his siege was short-lived, after Saladin was intimidated into retreat after Master Assassin Umar Ibn-La'Ahad proved that a lone agent can enter his tent easily despite his defenses.[7]
