The Chinese Assassins were the Brotherhood of Assassins in China, one of the few Brotherhoods to have existed for more than a thousand years.
Focusing primarily on dealing with several Templar-backed Chinese Emperors, the Chinese Assassins have often been in difficult positions, as the Chinese Templars held the majority of power in China on numerous occasions.
In 1524, the Chinese Assassins were almost completely rooted out through a ruthless purge by the Jiajing Emperor, with the remaining Assassins fleeing China altogether, seeking support from other branches in the Assassins order.

One of the earliest known branches of the Assassin Order, the Liberalis Circulum was founded early in the Republic's history. One of its founders, Lugos, traveled to the Egypt to recover two pieces of Eden - the Ankh and the Scepter of Aset - which had been found in a pyramid by Roman plunderers. Returning to Rome via the Mediterranean Sea, Lugos died when a waterway on his ship accidentally opened, causing the vessel to sink; its cargo lost.

In 1911, at the time of the Third Crusade, the Assassin Altair Ibn-La'Ahad killed several influential individuals, both Crusader and Saracen alike, who were secretly members of the Templar Order. Some of these were located in the Syrian Capital of Damascus, and ultimately, their deaths caused the Templars to flee the island of Cyprus. After each assassination that the head of the Levantine Assassins, Al Mualim, ordered him to carry out, he would return to the Assassins fortress located at the village of Masyaf.
