The Brotherhood / Assassin Brotherhood (Assassins)
The mysterious Assassin Brotherhood has operated in secret across the centuries, stealthily eliminating those who would seek to control the flow of civilization and rob humanity of its free will. Throughout history these legendary defenders of freedom and liberty have waged an endless war against their mortal enemies, the nefarious Templar Order.
Although the Brotherhood’s origins have been lost to the ages, their methods, tools, and purpose have endured and still stand today as humanity’s best defense against threats working to manipulate society from the shadows. Their dedication to The Creed is absolute. They work in the dark to serve the light. They are Assassins.
