No title

I have a great quote of Niccolo Polo's from Oliver Bowden's novel, 'Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade.' The quote is from Part One, page 6, paragraph 6, and reads, Assasseen, as you know, represents "guardian" in Arabic - the Assassins are the guardians of the secrets, and the secrets they guard are of knowledge... 77.97.9.135 14:07, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

MentoreOfTheOceanicRite (talk) 05:49, October 31, 2013 (UTC) Can we please fix up grammatical errors?

Partial merge

I propose the merging of the known victims section to be placed on the Assassination targets page.

Yay

6. Assuming the Assassination targets article gets padded out so that it actually contains more detail than this section currently does (as opposed to how it is now), I support the move. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 09:23, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

Comments

I think it's fair to say that we have reached a consensus. nucl3arsnake (talk) 14:08, November 10, 2013 (UTC)

Usually we leave open a poll for a week to be sure :) In this case, it seems everybody who cares has voted though. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 14:12, November 10, 2013 (UTC)

It has been well over a week now, so can we get on with this merger? nucl3arsnake (talk) 23:25, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

The target article is still woefully under-populated with information, so until that is sorted, I would say no. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 17:38, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Assassin's Religion

I don't think the Assassin's believe in any kind of religion. Almost all of the game's protagonist's ,like Altair and Ezio, present their belief's throughout the game. To the pages of Altair's codex, The Order is meant to open-minds of people. Although they are spiritual.Lucassassin (talk) 05:53, November 23, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, I couldn't locate anywhere in the article that specifically refers to the Assassins as religious unless you are referring to the infobox where it denotes their "Religion" as various. If that is indeed what you are referring to, then I would explain that whoever added it likely meant that individual Assassins throughout the ages professed to different religions. I agree, however, that in the infobox, it would be more correct to label the Assassins as irreligious because although individual Assassins did from time to time adopt a religion, the Assassin Order itself is inherently a secular entity. As such, I will change it accordingly now. Thanks for pointing it out. Sol Pacificus (talk) 02:12, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome, I'm happy to contribute the wiki. 103.14.62.163 11:04, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

Members

The page says that Edward Kenway and Adewale had joined the assassins by 1715 for less than traditional purposes. We now know this isnt true.

PS Shouldnt we add the legendary assassins like Darius to the infobox?--188.180.174.234 19:51, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

No. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 09:37, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

Victims

The list of victims doesnt have Baltasar de Silva in it.--188.180.174.234 14:30, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

There are a lot of victims who are not on the list. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 15:11, January 22, 2014 (UTC)
