German Brotherhood of Assassins

The German Brotherhood of Assassins were a branch of Assassins based in and around the Holy Roman Empire, present day Germany.
==History==
===Early history===
Shortly after the death of Roman Emperor Honorius in 423 CE, the magister and member of the Roman Hidden One Vitus wrote to his brethren who were stationed at a Hidden One bureau in Leicester, England. In his letter, he ordered that its recipient immediately evacuate, due to local tribes who harbored ill sentiments towards the Hidden Ones and their mission having filled the power vacuum left by the departing Roman legions, and to move their headquarters to Cologne and join forces with the local chapter.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – A Brief History of the Hidden Ones
===Late Middle Ages===
In 1338, the Assassins saved Lukas Zurburg from a thief on the road to Adendorf and subsequently recruited him into the order. In 1348, the plague swept across Essen, wiping out nearly half of the town's population. From there, a group called the Brothers of the Cross, a Templar organization, began promising protection from the plague.Assassin's Creed: Revelations – Discover Your Legacy
Lukas suspected that they were after the Ankh, which was said to be located in Central Europe. However, in 1350, both the Brothers of the Cross and Lukas mysteriously disappeared.
===Renaissance===
Prior to 1502, a historian named Conradus Celtis had spent years uncovering the secrets of history. Having discovered even the history of the Assassins, he came to admire them and sought to compile a comprehensive text that honored them as heroes. Despite this, the Assassins recognized the grave dangers in exposing their order to the public, and sometime around 1501 to 1502, a team of Italian Assassins visited him in Cologne, to ensure that he agreed to keep their existence hidden to common society, and took his works back to Rome.Project Legacy – Contracts
In 1502, the Elector Friedrich der Weise planned to open a university in Wittenberg, which challenged the practices of the Borgia Papacy and promoted religious reform. In response, Pope Alexander VI, Grand Master of the Italian Templars, sent a bribe to convince him to back away from the "foolish project", though the Assassins intercepted the money and used it to give Friedrich a large, anonymous donation.
The Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian, had taken a heavy beating from Swiss mercenaries during the , to which the Borgia had hired several of these commanders as their Papal Guard. Drinking with these mercenaries at a tavern, the Assassins slipped poison into their drinks, before carrying them out. Under the guise of condottieri, they delivered the commanders to Maximilian, to which the Emperor used them to train an army of his own, in order to rival the Swiss.
Following this, he invited the Assassins to help the Swiss train the army, as they had previously bested the Swiss. Once again disguised as condottieri, they helped him train the first of the e, upon which he offered them a regiment should they ever need one.
===World War II===
During World War II, the Assassins discovered that Adolf Hitler was in possession of an Apple of Eden, given to him by the Templars, which he had used to form Nazi Germany and hypnotize the population to join his cause and start the war. On 30 April, 1945, Hitler executed his double inside the and was supposed to flee and meet up with Winston Churchill. However, the Assassins were watching the bunker and killed Hitler as he stepped outside; presumably taking the Apple for themselves.Assassin's Creed II – Glyphs
