THE CREED ⇥ nothing is true

STRAY YOUR BLADE FROM THE FLESH OF AN INNOCENTALWAYS BE DISCREETNEVER COMPROMISE THE BROTHERHOOD
the goal of the assassins is to ensure peace in all things. The assassins believe that political assassinations and the death of the corrupt will bring peace and a true sense of security to the common people. Slaying innocents and civilian bystanders who do not need to die goes a long way towards spreading strife and discord, in addition to ruining the name of the assassin order itself.be unseen. The assassins' aim is to get close to their target stealthily, usually in public, to perform awe-inspiring assassinations. The greatest illusion from an assassination is that an Assassin seemingly materializes from nowhere, kills a corrupt public figure, and vanishes into the depth of the crowd or environment. If an assassin is spotted stalking their target, the supernatural effect is diluted, simply making it more difficult for the assassin to reach his target.the actions of one must never bring harm to all. If an assassin fails, is captured, or is being chased, he must never commit an action or say anything that can be tied back to the brotherhood.
