History

Early life

Numa Al'Khamsin was raised in Alexandria by his Assassin father, and followed him in his travels, notably to the Temple of Philae. Numa later became an Assassin himself and took on a young boy, Ali Al-Ghrabe, as his own disciple, teaching him the way of the Assassins.

Thief of the Scepter

In 1340, Al'Khamsin was summoned by an Assassin Elder and travel on the Nile from Alexandria with his apprentice to the Island of Philaé in order to met the old man. Once there, he followed the old man in the Temple of Aset, where the man showed to him some wall painting of Aset/Isis and revealed to the younger Assassin that the Assassins had played a role in the fall of the previous dynasty of Egyptian Sultans an hundred years earlier, by giving to the rebels a Piece of Eden, the Scepter of Aset.

Since then Egypt has experienced a period of prosperity under the leadership of the Sultans of the new dynasty, but the scepter had recently been stolen by unknown assailants who had left behind them only the fragment of a dagger handle. To Khamsin who wondered if the theft of such an object of decorum was so important, the old man also revealed that the scepter had real powers, as its wielder was imbued with great charisma and influence. The elder then entrusted him with the mission to retrieve the scepter and Al'Khamsin returned on the boat where his apprentice was waiting and headed for Cairo, where the scepter had been stolen.

On the boat, while Khamsin was in the process to examining his only clue, Ali had the idea to extrapolate from the imcomplete emblem present on the dagger fragment and showed to his master his discoveries, whom recognized without difficulty the Templars cross.
