Alcmaeon was then forced to leave the city, being banned from Pythagoras' brotherhood. Pythagoras declared that Alcmaeon was no longer a brother, and that he was dead to them. He was then given a "burial" using a statue instead of his body, where all of his former brothers were present.

He showed no restraint and was constantly questioning Pythagoras on his ideas. he was very vain and would often try to convince others of his ideas, hoping to become as famous and honored as Pythagoras was.

## Biography

In 1860, after Jayadeep Mir failed to kill a target due to a failure of nerve in what was perceived as a display of dangerous incompetence and was imprisoned at the Darkness, Ajay became his jailer until the young man's planned execution. However, the sentence was secretly commuted into banishment, and Mir left for England to work as an undercover agent for his former tutor, the British Assassin Ethan Frye.

In 1862, the British Templar Cavanagh began to suspect that Bharat Singh, a young Indian man in his employ, was in fact the Jayadeep Mir of whom he had heard during his time in India, so he asked the Indian Templars to capture Ajay and Kulpreet to learn the truth. Overwhelmed by their numbers, the two Assassins were knocked out and taken to a warehouse to be tortured into confirming whether or not Mir had indeed been executed years earlier. However, after witnessing Kulpreet committing suicide to keep the Brotherhood's secrets, Ajay betrayed the Creed, and told his captor that he was willing to cooperate and change sides. Ajay was then smuggled to England, where he told Cavanagh everything he wanted to know in exchange for money and a new life in London.

Later, a guilt-ridden Ajay went to Crawley and tried to warn Ethan Frye that Cavanagh knew everything, giving a cryptic letter to Evie before leaving. But sensing the urgency, Ethan immediately decided to go after the ex-Assassin, enlisting the help of the three other Assassins present in the house, George Westhouse and the twins, to track Ajay. The four Assassins cornered Ajay, who then decided to kill himself with a kukri, telling Ethan that he was sorry.

Amanda Bailey

**Amanda Bailey** (born 1730) was an innkeeper living in Martha's Vineyard during the American Revolution.

## Biography

Amanda was born in North Carolina in 1730, the oldest of a large family. When Amanda was 14, her mother died, leaving Amanda and her younger brothers and sisters to fend for themselves.

Amanda first met Robert Faulkner when she was a teenager. They sent letters to each other until Robert stopped when he went to join the Assassins, but even though Faulkner had disappeared off the grid completely, Amanda still had hope that he was still alive, and set off to look for him. Her search was fruitless, though, and she eventually acquired a job at Martha's Vineyard; she would later go on to purchase the establishment.

During the American Revolution, Amanda was a spy for the Continental Army. Her independent spirit was also responsible for setting up the first school in the area, and she also improved the docks near Martha's Vineyard to bring in more business for her inn. However, knowledge of her role as a spy has only been known since 1919, when a box of Amanda's personal correspondence was found, including notes in Benjamin Tallmadge's handwriting.

In 1773, Amanda met Robert Faulkner again, who had traveled to Martha's Vineyard with Connor, hoping to recruit David and Richard Clutterbuck and buy cannons for the *Aquila.* While there, Connor nearly started a fight with Benjamin Church and Nicholas Biddle, but Amanda managed to diffuse the situation before it really started.

Amanda met with Faulkner once more in 1776, this time on the *Aquila,* which had been waiting for her near Nantucket. There she told Connor and Faulkner the rumors of Biddle raiding ships along the East Coast. The *Aquila* was then forced to rescue a merchant ship from Templar vessels, during which Amanda hid out on the gun deck, from where she could witness the events.

Alopex

**Alopex** was an Elean man living in the streets of Sanctuary of Olympia in Elis, Greece.

During the 428 BCE Olympic Games, Alopex ran a scam with Maia and other street kids: while Alopex distracted their victim, the children stole their drachmae. This lasted until they robbed the Spartan *misthios* Kassandra. While Kassandra chased after Maia, Alopex slipped away. He made it to Endymion Camp in the Psophis Foothills, south of the Sanctuary of Olympia, and met with the Athenian Captain who was forcing Alopex and the children to steal for him.

Unbeknownst to the men, Kassandra had caught up with Maia and learned from her about the Captain and his antics. Maia reminded Kassandra of her friend Phoibe, and the *misthios* decided to help the girl. Kassandra made her way to the camp, too, and overheard a conversation between Alopex and the Captain, and then slew the Captain. She also freed the children the man had kept in the cages at the camp, and reclaimed the necklace of Maia's mother.

## Trivia

Ancestral Bow

The **Ancestral Bow** was a rare predator bow which belonged to Rai, a farmer who lived in the Uab Nome. An heirloom of Rai's family, it was made of black stone taken from the Tomb of Smenkhkare, which was connected to the Isu vault Eeyoo Sekedoo Aat.

The bow was deceptively light, and as a result was highly prized by bandits who discovered the bow's connection to the tomb.

## History

In 48 BCE, a leader of a bandit group attempted to claim the bow for himself, sending his men after Rai and her fellow farmers. When the Medjay Bayek of Siwa assisted Rai and the farmers against the bandits, Rai gave the bow, which had been damaged in battle, to him before he left to eliminate the rest of the bandits.

Bayek eventually located the bandit leader in Smenkhkare's tomb, where he discovered the source of the material of the bow's limb. Bayek recovered a shard of black stone from the bandit leader, fitting it into the bow and thus resorting it to its original state.

Alhambra

**Calat Alhambra** more commonly known as **Alhambra,** is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia. It was used by the Moors as the royal palace of the Emirate of Granada during the 14th and 15th centuries.

## History

### Renaissance

In 1492, the Crowns of Castile and Aragon laid siege to the fortress in an effort to drive out the Moorish King Muhammad XII of Granada. However, the Templars had secretly captured Muhammad to prevent him from formally surrendering, in an attempt to prolong the war and keep Queen Isabella I occupied and her funds low. This would enable the Templars to prevent Christopher Columbus from traveling and discovering the New World, as he would not be able to make the journey without a benefactor.

While in Spain, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, under the guidance of Raphael Sánchez, infiltrated the castle and freed Muhammad. He then managed to facilitate his surrender, effectively ending the war and freeing the way for the funds to Columbus' expedition.

### Modern times

In 2012, Alhambra was used as a simulated training location by Abstergo Industries for the training of their Animus recruits, as part of the first stage of the Animi Training Program. It only became available after a system update had been installed.

The simulation depicted a luxurious, almost maze-like complex, with a great many rooms interconnected by staircases and hallways. Column arcades, fountains with running water, and reflecting pools were a common sight in and around the palace's large courtyards, designed to reflect the beauty of Paradise itself. One of the more well-known courtyards is the *Court of the Lions,* which featured an alabaster basin supported by the figures of twelve lions, fittingly called the *Fountain of the Lions.* The entire complex was encased by an imposing fortress wall, flanked by thirteen massive towers.

Alhambra, like most of the simulated locations in the first stage, had two aesthetic variations. As such, it could be utilized during the day or the night.

## Trivia

* Calat Alhambra is a corruption of its original Arabic name, *Qal'at Al-Hamra,* from the words *qal'a* ("fort") and *al-hamra* ("the red.")
* The Dama Rossa, an Animi Avatar based on an unknown woman from the Renaissance, described the location as a "pearl among diamonds," possibly alluding to the Moorish poets, who referred to Alhambra as a "pearl set in emeralds."

Alannah Ryan

**Alannah Ryan** is a member of the Assassins working as part of Layla Hassan's cell in searching for the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus in 2018.

## Biography

A student from Boston, Massachusetts, Alannah was recruited by William Miles into the Assassin Order at some point in 2017. In August, Alannah was one of the candidates chosen by a fellow Assassin Layla Hassan to accompany her on a mission to Quebec due to her expertise on ancient documents and church construction. However, as she was still training, Alannah was not allowed to accompany Layla.

In 2018, Alannah became part of Layla's cell in search for historical artifacts, in particular the ancient scholar Herodotos' *Lost Histories.* Alannah served as the team's historian, providing historical details regarding Herodotos to Layla while she relived the memories of the Spartan *misthios* Kassandra.

After the discovering of the location of Atlantis beneath Thera, Alannah and the cell traveled to the island using the *Altaïr II,* a boat belonging to Gavin Banks.

## Trivia

* In *Assassin's Creed: Odyssey*, after Alannah told Layla that her grandpa's grandpa was an Irish sailor and adventurer, Layla commented that Alannah makes her own luck, which was a catchphrase by Shay Cormac, an Irish Assassin who defected to the Templars.
* Alannah is also fluent in English, Latin, ancient Greek, and Sanskrit.
Amyris

**Amyris** (died 431 BCE) was a priest working in the Sanctuary of Delphi during the 5th century BCE.

Around 431 BCE, Amyris and a group of other priests stole precious sapphires from the treasury, with the intent to sell the sapphires to someone in Desphina Fort. However, he also went to Korykian Cave, where bandits caught and killed him.

Sometime after, tasked by her former mentor and friend Photios, now a guard at the Sanctuary, the Spartan *misthios* Kassandra explored the cave and found Amyris' remains, and a note directing her to Desphina Fort.
Akechi Mitsuhide

**Akechi Mitsuhide** (10 March 1528 - 17 July 1582) was a general under the daimyo Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku period of Japan.

In June 1582, Mitsuhide rebelled against his master and attacked him at Honnō-ji temple. During the rebellion, Nobunaga was killed by the Assassin Yamauchi Taka, who then retrieved Nobunaga's Sword of Eden.
Amphitheater, Chalkis City

**Amphitheater** was an amphitheatre located within Chalkis City on the island of Euboea, Greece.

During the Peloponnesian War it was owned by Idyia and Prexileos, and they used the theater to house the orphans and lost children and to teach them drama. Over the course of her quest to hunt down The Dagger, a criminal organization plaguing the Abantis Islands, the Spartan *misthios* Kassandra visited the place, making the acquaintance of the couple and even saving them from the Kingfisher's men.
Alsoomse

**Alsoomse** was a woman of Shawnee ancestry who was renowned as a passionate and fearless warrior among her people.

## Biography

As a child, Alsoomse stood out among the Shawnee for her preference for solitude.

When she grew older, her reserved manners gave way to a fierce and aggressive temperament. She was an idealist who was always determined to uphold her convictions even at the risk of death. For this, she battled against the Templars who spread their influence to the European colonies around her homeland.

In 2012 under the title of the Independent, her genetic memories were used as an Animi Avatar by Abstergo Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Templar company Abstergo Industries, to influence the general public via the Animus games console. When the hacking collective Erudito revised the publicized account of Alsoomse, they clarified that she was a hero against the Templars but noted that her story was in fact a total fabrication.

## Personality and characteristics

Because of her asocial behavior as a child, Alsoomse received the name that translates to "independent" in her language. The moniker was fitting for her nature, as she was somewhat of a maverick among her peers, but though she was introverted, she was not in any way meek. In adulthood, her true character came to express itself as the willful idealist she was. While others might shy from her spell, Alsoomse would persevere in the face of all obstacles with unbridled courage, that stemmed from her willingness to die for her dreams. To the Templars, her ferocity made her a violent radical, but to her supporters, she was a heroic champion of justice and truth who did her best to defend her people and their culture.

Like many Assassins indigenous to the northeast Americas, such as Ratonhnhaké:ton and Atasá:ta, Alsoomse favored a tomahawk in combat.

## Trivia

* Alsoomse is a name of an Algonquin origin that literally translates to "independent."
* In the Abstergo Story, the database for *Assassin's Creed III* multiplayer, Erudito declares in their hacked version of her file that her story is "completely fabricated." This is in spite of the fact that they also correct her file such that it explains that she was actually a hero who fought against the Templars. Their corrections would seemingly contradict their last statement that her entire narrative is false unless their revisions themselves are meant to be sarcastic modifications of what is otherwise a profile without a grain of truth.
American Flintlock

The **American Flintlock** was a four-barrel flintlock pistol manufactured by Americans which was sold in shops throughout Paris during the French Revolution.

## Description

Because flintlock pistols by nature can only chamber one shot at a time, gunsmiths sought to rectify this by first incorporating an additional barrel to the conventional design. The American Flintlock, so-called because it was produced by Americans, took this concept further by integrating not just two, but four barrels into one handheld firearm. As a result, a user could fire four shots before needing to reload. While not the deadliest pistol of its day, it was still effective enough to defy contemporary expectations of American firearms.

## History

During the French Revolution, American Flintlocks were sold in shops across Paris for 1,000 francs.

## Trivia

* In spite of its name, the American Flintlock is actually based on a three-barrel turnover pistol made in Augsburg allegedly in 1775, more specifically the Denix produced four-barrel replica which itself appears to be a hybrid consisting the grip of the 1775 Augsburg pistol and the four barrels of a 1750 made Augsburg pistol. This would appear to contradict the lore that the firearm is of American origin.
* The description for the weapon in *Assassin's Creed: Unity* suggests that the quality of firearms produced by Americans had a poor reputation at the time of the French Revolution.
Albert

**Albert** was a young cutpurse in the town of Bristol. He was recruited by Edward Kenway in an effort to woo Caroline Scott in 1711.

Kenway gave Albert half a penny to present a bouquet of flowers in the former's name to Caroline Scott, hoping this would provide an opportunity for conversation. However, the young thief decided to steal the lady's purse instead, inadvertently alerting Wilson, a man in the employ of Matthew Hague, who was Caroline's suitor.

Before he could make his escape, Albert was caught by Wilson, who beat him up. To salvage the situation, Kenway intervened and had Albert apologize to Caroline before sending him away.
Andreas Island

**Andreas Island** is a coral island in the Caribbean Sea. During the Golden Age of Piracy, it served as a British trading post.

## History

Early in his pirating career, Edward Kenway laid anchor at the island to meet with James Kidd and discuss the possibility of raiding a sugar plantation. While ashore, Kidd pointed out an agent of Peter Beckford, a wealthy plantation owner. Kenway then followed the agent to Cat Island and subsequently plundered the warehouse situated there.

Besides a harbormaster's station and an Assassin pigeon coop, the island was also home to a local bar, named "The Andreas Inn."

Andrei Orelov

*"My father wanted this life, Anna, not I. He came to this country with a dream and made the Narodnaya Volya his cause. I do not know if I have the strength to serve the Order of Assassins as he did."*
―Nikolai Orelov telling his wife about Andrei and the Assassins, 1888.
**Andrei Orelov** was a member of the Narodnaya Volya and of the Russian Brotherhood of Assassins, the father of Nikolai Orelov, and an ancestor to Daniel Cross.

## Biography

After moving to Russia, Andrei joined the Narodnaya Volya, desiring to bring down the aristocratic rule over the country, who saw the organization to be terrorist in nature. When Nikolai was old enough, his father had him inducted into the Order as he had been, despite his son's own reservations.

Andrei later died as of 1917, but was mentioned in a letter to Nikolai that had been composed by Vladimir Lenin.

## Trivia

* The name Andrei can be translated as "manly," derived ultimately from the Greek *aner,* "man." Orelov is a foreign name and is most similar to "Orlov" (Оpлов), which means "syn orla" (сын орла), or "so of eagle."

Alaat

**Alaat**: "*Leave, beggar! This is no place for the likes of you.*"
**Altaïr**: "*It's quite the other way around, Alaat.*I*am the giver,*you*are the beggar.*"
―Alaat and Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, 1190.

## Alaat

### Status

Deceased

**Alaat** (died 1190) was an upperclassman who resided in the Noble District of Damascus during the Third Crusade. An elderly man by the end of the 12th century, he frequented the bathhouse of Upper Street.

## Biography

In the time preceding his death, Alaat made an enemy of a Romani woman named Fajera. The enmity of this circus dancer was such that, in 1190, unbeknownst to Alaat, she requested the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad to eliminate him in exchange for her key to the Temple of Sand.

Altaïr honored the deal and was escorted by Fajera into the Noble District. Guided by the Romani's knowledge of Alaat's location, the Assassin navigated the sewage system to infiltrate the bathhouse from below. Once there, he quickly identified Alaat, who at first derided Altaïr as a pilliard, unaware of his nature. The Assassin only casually chided that their roles were rather reversed, and the unnerved Alaat frantically began to scream for his guards. It was to no avail, however, as Altaïr swiftly leapt into the pool and silenced him with his Hidden Blade.

An-Nusayriyah Mountains

The **An-Nusayriyah Mountains** is a mountain range in northwestern Syria running parallel to the Mediterranean coast from north to south.

In the eleventh and twelfth century, the Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins built nine of their citadels among these mountains, recognizing the formidable defense they offered. Among these castles was the one based in Masyaf, and these fortresses would remain unconquered by Saracens and Crusaders alike until they finally fell to the Mongol Empire in the thirteenth century.

In the time of the Ottoman Empire, the mountain range was also home to the Atlas Village.

Anaxagoras

**Anaxagoras** (c. 510 BCE - c. 428 BC) was a Greek philosopher who lived during the 5th century BCE. A friend of Perikles, Anaxagoras was a mentor of fellow philosopher Sokrates.

## Biography

In 431 BCE, the Peloponnesian War broke out between Athens' Delian League and Sparta's Peloponnesian League. As the Peloponnesian League had won a number of battles and began drawing near Athens, the Athenian statesman Perikles became worried for the safety of his friends and colleagues, including Anaxagoras and the sculptor Phidias. As such, he resorted to using various ways to ensure their safety, one of which was to ostracize Anaxagoras.

Knowing that Anaxagoras was innocent and the vote to ostracize him would fail, Perikles arranged the *misthios* Kassandra to meet with an official under him, tampering with the vote results. As a result, the vote was successful and Anaxagoras was forced to leave Athens. The philosopher Sokrates also considered him as one of his mentors.

Aigyptos

**Aigyptos** was the twin brother of Danaos and the father of 50 sons in Greek mythology.

According to the stories, Danaos' daughters were supposed to marry Aigyptos' sons. As a wedding present from their father, each of Danaos' daughters received a dagger, and a command to kill their husbands. All but Hypermnestra obeyed, and a shrine for the 49 slain sons was set up in Argos, Argolis.

Algiers

**Algiers** is the capital and largest city in Algeria.

## History

In 1511, King Samis El Felipe was captured by the King of Spain, and Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople by Ezio Auditore da Firenze corresponded with him while he was in prison, exchanging letters back and forth in order to maintain contact.

The amir Selim of Algiers also proposed to turn a blind eye to the activities of the Assassins in Algiers, in return for protection of a community of Moors living on the island Penon, captured by the Spanish.

Later, the Ottoman Assassins took over Algiers from Templar control, and restored and expanded the city, installing several Assassin Dens in the process.
