The one difference that Nazaris had to many other assassins in history, is that they would never ever hurt public citizens.

All warriors followed the Turasiyga or Islamic warrior code, where they are trained in combat, disguises and equestrianism. Codes of conduct were followed as well, being taught in the arts of war, protection and secrecy.

Secrecy was probably very important to them as not much is known about these mysteries people.

Due to being dramatically outnumbered in enemy territory, the Hashashin tended to specialise in covert operations. They would often assimilate themselves in towns and regions of their targets and over time, stealthy insert themselves in to strategic positions.

The history of these people is very vague, But they were feared very much by there enemies. I think that these people will be remembered for a very long time.
