The Assassin Order That Killed a King

The Hashshashin, a genuine order of assassins in Persia during the 11th to 13th centuries, were infamous for their strategic and targeted killings of political and religious figures. While Farid’s journey is imagined, the existence of this secretive society of elite assassins who left a mark on history is very much grounded in reality.
