Biography[edit | edit source]

In 1340, the Elder summoned the Assassin Numa Al'Khamsin to the island of Philae to meet him. Once the Assassin arrived, he followed the old man to the Temple of Philae, where the latter told Numa about the history of the Temple and showed him a wall painting of the goddess Aset.

He went on to reveal to the younger Assassin that the Brotherhood had played a role in the fall of the Ayyubid dynasty in Egypt a hundred years earlier, by giving the rebels a Piece of Eden, the Scepter of Aset. Egypt had experienced a period of prosperity under the Bahri dynasty ever since, but the Scepter had been stolen by unknown assailants who had only left behind the fragment of a dagger's handle.

To Numa, who wondered why the theft of such an object of decorum was so important, the old man revealed that the Scepter had real powers, as its wielder was imbued with great charisma and influence. The Elder then entrusted Numa with the mission of retrieving the Scepter, and the Assassin returned to the boat where his apprentice, Ali Al-Ghraib, was waiting. Leaving Philae, the two Assassins headed for Cairo, where the Scepter had been stolen.
