Guys I've done hours of research on this topic.Hope you like it
As it says based on various RELIGIONS & BELIEFS..
The Assassins were real and Masyaf is a real place, though the assassins werent exactly
looked upon as greatly as in the game .Historians have
discovered that there was an assassin's brotherhood based in a
place called Masyaf, which is a castle in modern day Syria. Most of the
records there were burnt after the third crusade. And all the assassin
characters are fictional but there was a man called Rashid ad-Din Sinan
portrayed as Al Mualim people named him the mas of the Masyaf
mountain. And he believed that there would be a profit to stop the crusade
this person is portrayed as Altair. And he had a list of 9 people to
assassinate in order to stop the war and he (apparently did help the end
of it) did it. and nobody and prove what happened because all the
documents and Masyaf, Syria were burnt and disposed of, probably to
hide the evidence of assassins.
In modern time maybe not as much as there is said to be but in ancient times yes they where. In many old
books in places like jeruseleum they wrote about them or even in the game
Assassins Creed (X-box 360 & PS3) the team making the game had to do
extensive research to make the descriptions accurate.
ALTAIR
"Altair" is Arabic for bird, or more specifically eagle, and many allusions are made
to Altair being like an Eagle. Such as the starting animations, speeches
from Au Mualim and in fact the original working title of the game was
"The Eagle and Apple" but Al-Malik al-Ashraf Salāh al-Dīn
Khalil ibn Qalawūn (Arabic: ﻚﻠﻤﻟﺍ ﻥﻭﻭﻼﻗ ﻦﺑ ﻞﻴﻠﺧ ﻦﻳﺪﻟﺍ ﺡﻼﺻ ﻑﺮﺷﻷﺍ ); (b. c.
1262, Cairo - d. 14 December 1293, Kom Turuga) was the eighth Mamluk
sultan of Egypt from 1290 until his assassination in December, 1293. He
is most famous for conquering the last of the Crusader states in
Palestine with the capture of Acre in 1291.
This states that altair may be real!
EZIO AUDITORE
Ezio Auditore was a real person. However, he wasn't that involved in history as we know it,
and sorta drops out of the public eye after a scandal of some sort.
Assassin's Creed 2/Brotherhood use him for that very reason. He basically vanishes from
our history books, so they took him and made the story and conspiracy around him, to
explain why he just vanishes in Real Life history.
He did lead the Assassin's Guild in the Italian Rennisance against
Cesare Borgia,Lucrezia Borgia and Rodrigo Borgia.
All the targets are (minus Savonarola's nine lieutenants and I think the Orsi brothers), and
so are Caterina, Machiavelli, and Leonardo. The other allies are based off of real people,
but weren't real people themselves. All the places. All people except the
Auditores, named thieves, non-target Templars/enemies were real. Most of the events actually
happened as well, it's why the timeline jumps around so much, they're using the actual dates
a lot of the time .Ezio's house:

assassins. As the Pazzi conspiracy against the Medici were real and accurate in history,
Ubisoft needed to have a family close to the medici for the storyline to work, as the family
would be entrusted with the evidence of the conspiracy against the Medici, and would be
killed because of it = therefore making ezio an assassin so that he could avenge his family
and hunt down the pazzi. The family close to the medici were the
auditores, and this could also have been true, but if they were real, giovanni auditore would
have been an advisor to lorenzo medici in his running of the medici bank.
So, in the same way Ubisoft took rodrigo borgia, a real person in history, and changed
his character to make the story more interesting,they could have taken the auditore
family (if they were real) and changed their real story to make a better game out of it.
So many of his supporters throughout the games were real
(Niccolo Machiavelli, Caterina Sforza, Leonardo da Vinci, etc),. the town of Monterigionni
does exist.
