I am one of the grandmasters faithful. I was chosen by the great one to accomplish one of the most important task that has ever been given by him.
I am thankful and grateful for the grandmaster. He saved me and my brethren in the pits of despair and gave us a new purpose in life.
It was the year 1108 when i was just wandering to and fro from the desert. I had a home once but it was taken from us.
Jerusalem that was once my home but in fear for the safety of my life i fled. I miss my home. Days turned into months when one day i met the grand master.
He taught me the real teaching of allah, the importance of the jihad and that we need to expel all infidels from this land.
I admired him and because of that I followed him. For years we traveled together, recruiting other devotee to the Isma'ili belief.
That continued for 4 years. Our small sect grew in a rapid rate. More and more believers slowly joined our cause when suddenly another grandmaster of another sect invited our grandmaster to join him and be his follower.
That infuriated our grandmaster and ordered us to go the other sects headquarters located in Alamut.
With the information that we had gathered we found out that the opposing sects leader is named Hassan-i Sabbah.
A passionate devotee of Isma'ili beliefs, Hassan-i Sabbah was well-liked throughout Cairo, Syria and most of the Middle East by other Isma'ili, which led to a number of people becoming his followers. Using his fame and popularity, Sabbah founded the Order of the Assassins.

While his motives for founding this order are ultimately unknown, it was said to be all for his own political and personal gain and to also exact vengeance on his enemies. Because of the unrest in the Holy Land caused by the Crusades, Hassan-i Sabbah found himself not only fighting for power with other Muslims, but also with the invading Christian forces.
But clearly he's just using that as a preface to grab power.
And so our grandmaster challenged Hassan in a theological debate. It went for hours in front of all spectators until eventually our grandmaster finally convinced that his doctrine is right leading to Hassan's abdication.
Our grandmaster took over his sect called the Hashashin and immediately ordered the gathering of information in every corner of the known world.
Every kingdon has a spy planted to them so we gather tons of information while the warriors and assasins are trained waiting to be used.
From time to time we assassinate someone deemed dangerous by the grandmaster this lasted for 2 years when suddenly our grandmaster issued an order of utmost importance.
Gather information about a man called Alberto von Habsburg.
It all begun when our grandmaster read about a recent information about tyr battle somewhere in the Holy Roman Empire. Something in that information spooked the grandmaster leading to a mass gathering of information.
Information about the man kept flooding when suddenly our grandmaster ordered the man be killed.
We thought it was just a normal assassination mission when the grandmaster suddenly said that he will mobilize a tenth of our troops just to kill him and that most of all failure is not an option and that the faith of the world is at stake.
To ensure the success of the plan the grandmaster ordered me to oversee the operation.
And with that i'm headed to iberia right now with utmost haste because recent information says that the man called Alberto is being sent there.
With my men we made haste to accomplish the grandmasters order. Everthing is for the grandmaster, we will accomplish our mission or die trying.
