1) The game's version of the Assassins and Templars are in fact fictionalized but both are based on real organizations that did exist at the time.
2) All of the nine Templar targets that Al Mualim (the assassin leader in the game) sends the player to kill are indeed real historical figures, though their personalities and time and place of their death are all made up.
3) The protagonists are all entirely fictional characters, but while the Assassins and Knights are also not real, they are based on real organizations, as multiple characters were.
