- In this second episode of “Assassin’s Creed: Real History” we shall review the history of Rashīd ad-Dīn Sinān, one of the most renowned leaders of the Syrian Assassins.
If you have any topic requests for a future video, in which you would like me to research the real history and compare it to the game’s representation, please leave me a comment!

Please note that my original video on this topic, made over two year ago, was removed by RUclips around the start of our hiatus. I tried to re-upload the video but was unsuccessful. For that reason, I felt this was a fitting subject for the second episode in this revival series.
Disclaimer
I am an amateur historian. History is not my official field of study, but rather a passion. This series acts as my hobby and as a way to share with you the real history behind characters, groups, events and locations that are depicted in the Assassin’s Creed video game series. Although I work hard to be as detail-oriented as possible, I am clearly not without fault and therefore welcome you to let me know whether you feel I have missed anything important or have misrepresented something in my video.

I wouldn't say that the Assassins were NEVER expected to return from their assassination. There were a few stealthy kills and even fewer public kills in which the fida'i escaped unharmed. Examples would be Abu Sa'ad, he was killed by the Assassins in the great mosque of Hamadan, 1125. They stabbed him to death and fled immediately, leaving no clue or trace behind them. Caliph Al-Mustarshid which was found killed in his tent.
That's a fair point. I could have phrased it better and said that the assassins weren't always expected to return from their missions. As for your other comment, I would have to agreed that Sinan is definitely a fascinating individual. The way he was able to masterfully read the political landscape of the Holy Land and make the necessary moves to ensure the continued existence of his order in Syria in the time of the Crusades was rather impressive. The fact that so much about him is shrouded in mystery makes it even more intriguing. Thanks for the insight and it's great to see you back in the comments!

still there experts
@@thomasdaywalt7735 Did you mean to say the assassins were experts?
@@chocov1233 Well, this is a profession, not a room for amateurs.They had to be experts in something.All the whites was the point of having a brotherhood of amateurs
The "Old Man of the Mountain" refers to Hasan Sabah, the actual founder of the Assassins order. Oddly enough, his best friend was the mathematician and poet Omar Khayyam (10th century Persia). The two later parted ways. In reality, Hasan Sabah and the sect of the Assassins were religious. While Omar Khayyam was a skeptic/freethinker. The quotes of al-Mualim at the end of AC1 'knowledge is sorrow' & Tree of Knowledge is not the Tree of Life, etc. were actually derived from Omar Khayyam's poetry.
Can you cite any of his scientific and mathematical discoveries?
yes what you say is true but rashid ad din sinan is an actual person though and based the character model of of him
No it reffers to both of them. It was a title used univerzally for the leaders of nizari ismailiis.
rashid uddin was called" old men of mountain" not hassan sabah
@@faizanali6746 exactly. Old man from mountain is Al Mualim
In my opinion, Sinan is the most fascinating historical figure ever. He once sent a letter to Saladin saying "I am a lion and only other lions frighten me", and went on about how Saladin's attacks have disappointed him. And, oh man, the legends about him. Not to mention finding source material from various medieval chroniclers and historians about him.
I'd do anything to know the truth about this mysterious man. Did he really claim he was divine? Was he really independent from Alamut? How did he become such a legendary figure?
If you want to know truth. I recommend you to read ismaili history book about him after that you will get to know what were the evil trick play on nizaris.
I liked the Mentor he was like a father figure to Altair even after killing him in the first sequence but his final betrayal was the best plot twist in the franchise
It was predictable
I honestly wasnt expecting that to happen honestly since he seemed legit devoted to his cause. So him betraying you was very shocking
I really appreciate someone like you that is so passionate about what you do despite the lack of subs, and I just wanted to say thanks you do an awesome job
I really appreciate the kind words. They mean a lot, and definitely represent part of the motivation that continues pushing me to create these videos to the best of my abilities. Thank you for your uplifting comment!

6:51 In Unity, Bellec did say that the Levantine approach was to make a spectacle of killing their enemies.
Great to have you back! I would like to see a video on the American Revolution.
thank you very much and I loved it. just for info I am of the ismaili community and i thank you to touch the true stories of the history
karim shah do ismailis worship ALI?
Same here bro
Al Muallim's real name is Raşidüddin Sinan el-İsmaili.
The name of the Assassin(Haşhaşin,Haşhaşiyye) has nothing to do with Hassan Sabbah's period. The name of the Assassin was mentioned for the Nizarı-İsmaili(Nizar-Ismaili) sect of Syria.They didn't take drugs.There is no such thing as the Garden of Eden.
Yeah you right but Altair ibn al ahad not the same as the Syiah because Altair want peace like Sunni understanding.....the last word Altair Experiencing the conflict of Syiah ideology ... he really hates this ideology
At last, Online Knights, you have returned! Welcome back!!! :)
Thanks for the warm welcome, it's great to see familiar names in the comment section!

When Altair kill he,s own mentor.
Me:Laa shay,a waqi,un moutlaq, bale kouloun moumkine.
WOW FINALLY!!! Ty for showing people who Hashashin was,as you know they had a leader at Elamut Name Hassan Sabah and another name Rashid Adin.
A version of how Saladin agreed terms with sinan is that he sent a messager with the orders of delivering it to Saladin personally. Once the messenger said that the message was personal, Saladin emptied the room of soldiers except two men. The messenger repeated that the message should be heard only by him. Saladin said: "those two are like my sons and will not leave from my side. Either accept that and give me the message or take your leave". The messenger then said to Saladin's 'sons': "if I commanded you, in the name of my lord (Sinan), to kill this man (Saladin) right here and now, would you do it?" They said yes and pulled out their swords and then said: "command as you wish". Saladin was shocked and agreed on peace.
You have missed abundance of classical sources while discussing Hashashin, instead relied upon Wikipedia as your major source of information.
OnlineKnights you should also tell us about Piérre Bellec.
Because of this game (which I played over and over again when it first came out), I bought at least 5 books about the Ismailis and Templars and the Crusades as well. Who says Video Games rot brains? I did not know the tenet, “nothing is true, everything is permitted” is based on an alleged fact! I have played every AC game and I just assumed that was purely fictional....wow! I know Im late to the game on these vids but Im not sorry. Thanks again!
Lol I was born in basrah too
TheBossAvocado my friend too
Saracen is pronounced Sarasen by the way
can you cover the concept of Le Roi des Thunes and History of Le Cour des Miracles ??
Admittedly, I'll need to do some research on that one. I can't quite remember whether le Roi des Thunes was a fictional character, or simply one based upon very limited records. When I have the time, I'll look into the topic and consider it for a future video. Thanks for your participation in the series!
-Robius
Up to my knowledge, he is fictional .. But the concept shown is realistic or touches the possibility of his (or someone like him) existence at the least .. Regarding le Cour des Miracles, Wikipedia confirms it's reality .. Since history is not my speciality, I may not be able to perform the job like you do .. Your videos improved my knowledge of history a lot ... Thanks for that Sir Robius ..
I've missed those !! :)
I've really missed making these. I really appreciate that people have stuck around for the return of the series.

Bro this guy is my ancestor
the assassins already can do parkour but not freerunning, consider parkour moves include walking n stuff
Just one question,you said Rashid addin castel Elamut was siged but as i know elamut was Hassan sabah's castel 😕 im a bit confused
rashid btw is pronounced as rashed the way people usually pronounce it is rasheed which are 2 different names
What about Anastasia in assassins creed chronicles
To be honest, I have yet to play the Chronicles series. I actually plan to pick up all 3 games in the coming weeks to look them over as potential topics for future videos. Once I've played them all, I'll decide whether to include them in the video series. Thanks for your suggestion though!
-Robius
Do King Richard the Lion Heart.
I like that you don't say 'Saladin'.
cuz in arabic its pronouced salah al din
@@divinium33
That would make it pronounced Salah Ad-Din, not Salah Al-Din.
Al Cee Productions wtf dude read it again
I said AL DIN
@@divinium33
Yeah you said that, that's wrong...
So is Al Mualim altairs mentor IRL Hasan Sabbah?
Saracen not Saracian. "c" like "s" in words same, soul, soup... Seljuk's "j" like jack, june, jessica. Not Seluiuks, Seljuks. :)
do garnier and sibrand
There isn't much info on either of them (especially Sibrand), although there are quite a few differences compared to their real life counter parts. I'm taking most of this information from Wikipedia (and most of the info i found about them there does line up with other sources for the most part), so if you find other information about the 2, please feel free to add up, or correct me.
Sibrand is sometimes considered the first Grand Master (Hochmeister by their terms) of the Teutonic Order, and had the position in the year 1190. He was replaced the same year by an individual named Konrad (implying that Sibrand died that year, or lost his position somehow). This conflicts with his portrayal in the game, where Sibrand is still the Teutonic Knights' Grand Master, despite the fact that it's the year 1191, 1 year after he lost his position in 1190 in real life to Konrad. Though another source does say he was Grand Master until 1192, which means that Sibrand shouldn't even be dead in the game (although I don't think this source is as reliable). There's also no mention of Sibrand being paranoid or atheist like he is in the game.
And as for Garnier De Naplouse, his name in the game is different than his real life counterpart, though not by much. Instead of his last name being "De Naplouse", it actually was "De Nablus". One huge conflict between his game and real life counter parts is that Garnier was the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitalier from 1190 to 1192,
even taking part in the Battle Of Arsuf (the event in the game when Altair kills Robert De Sable, which happens after Garnier's death in the game) but in the game, Garnier dies in 1191, before the Battle Of Arsuf. Another important mention about Garnier is that he played a huge part in winning the Battle Of Arsuf for the Crusaders. Richard The Lionhearted's order towards the Hospitaliers to hold their ground resulted in pretty big losses, which made Garnier and Baldwin De Carreo (doesn't appear in the game) disobey Richard and charge towards the Saracens, joined in seconds later by their fellow Knights Hospitalier. Because of this, Richard ordered a full charge, which overwhelmed the Saracens (so pretty much if it wasn't for Garnier, the Saracens would have won). And there's also no mention of him being a mad doctor who experiments on people.
Thank you
good work, but you gotta work on your pronunciations.
I think you did this one before.
I did cover this topic in the past, however the video was removed by RUclips for reasons unknown to me. I tried to re-upload it before our hiatus, but I was prevented from doing so. For that reason, since I said I would be re-exploring old topics with this updated version of the "Assassin's Creed: The Real History" series, I thought this would make a rather proper second episode. Hope that clears things up. Good catch though.

OnlineKnights No wonder that wasn't on the playlist.
my name is rashid xdd
Maria Ostion oh really
assasin is Islam warrior ?
MR ALI
Assassins were Iranian
Yes they are a sect
Iran-Persia Patriot why dont you narrow down, they ismailies one of the sect of islam
They're Shi'ah muslims... more extreme in their way.
Shia is not Islam, so it's from Shiism
Is altair true?
we dont know maybe there was an other assassin like altair we just dont know
Gang boy no
Gang boy altair is the name of a star. It means: "eagle" and his last name, ibn-la-ahad, means: "fatherless" ezio also means: "eagle"
Supersmash gamer
Altair means something like bird.
Blackbeard!
I'll take that request into account. Thanks!
-Robius
lol blackbeard is already done
An Osama Bin Laden in history.
nah bro The Assassins didnt killed innocent ordinray civilians they targeted the bad high dignitary
The military strategy of the Assassins depended on the assassinations of "guerrillas" who did not care about death in order to achieve their goal. Whereas, these guerrillas were terrorizing the rulers and the princes who were against them, and they managed to assassinate many very important personalities at that time
