Was the assassin order around in the 1700s?

Answer 1

Yes, the Assassin Order, often associated with the historical group known as the Hashshashin, existed during the medieval period but had largely diminished by the 1700s. The original Hashshashin were active in the 11th to 13th centuries in Persia and Syria. By the 1700s, the term "assassin" had evolved in popular culture and literature, but the organized group itself no longer functioned as it once had.
