Do the Order of Assassins still exist?

No, the historical Order of Assassins (Nizari Ismailis) was destroyed by the Mongols in the 13th century (around 1275 AD) and does not exist as a functioning organization today; however, the legends and tactics inspired modern portrayals (like in Assassin's Creed) and conspiracy theories about shadowy groups, though these are distinct from the actual medieval sect. The modern Nizari Ismaili faith continues, led by the Aga Khan, but is separate from the historical militant order.

The Most Disturbing Assassin's Creed Lore Explained

Which assassin was never hit?

They say Altair never got hit in his entire lifetime. Which is why the Animus health bar in AC1 was a Sync bar: It probably did not detect Altair's blood loss in that game. Later on in the Ezio Trilogy, when the Animus did get health bars, perhaps Altair did lose some blood.

Does the US government have Assassins?

Yes, the U.S. government, primarily through the CIA, has historically conducted targeted killings, but a formal ban on "assassination" (Executive Order 12333) exists, leading to a complex reality where covert operations target specific high-value individuals (HVIs) often using specialized military/intelligence units or drones, rather than traditional "assassins," with justifications framed as national security against terrorists, blurring lines between legal "targeted killing" and banned "assassination".

Why do Assassins remove their ring finger?

Assassins in Assassin's Creed historically removed their ring finger (usually the left) for two main reasons: a symbolic ritual of ultimate loyalty and a functional necessity for the early, flawed design of the Hidden Blade, which would otherwise sever the finger when activated with a clenched fist. This tradition was started by Bayek of Siwa's accidental loss and became a voluntary initiation rite until Altaïr redesigned the blade to fit around the finger, ending the physical requirement but leaving branding as a symbol.
