Were assassins and templars real?

Yes, they were. There were/ are several categories of Templar's, including the Knights Templar's. The assassins and Templar's mainly existed during the Crusades (or Holy Wars), being of course the two opposing sides. The assassins were not called assassins in public, of course, however their title escapes me at the moment. I apologize, but hope this has been somewhat helpful. I'm sure there is someone else with a better answer than mine.

[ADDITION TO ANSWER]

I suggest this came because of the game assassin's creed. As the previous answer stated, they were mainly based around the Crusades or Holy Wars as this was the time where the story is based around. 'Altaïr' the character in the game is fictional and was made up.

I think they were called Hashishin or something like that, but I may be wrong.

[ADDITION TO ANSWER]

As the person above me said, Altaïr himself is not real, however, as the game portrays, the Masyaf Castle did indeed house a group of Assassins.

2nd Answer, on knights in history:Part of the problem with historic knights was that if they were famous, they usually had other titles, and so they are not remembered primarily as knights. Another was that the fictional knights are the subjects of fiction people like to remember, but historic knights seem oddly less real. Nevertheless here are a few:
  • Roland, the character of the Song of Roland, who was real
  • Sir William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke
  • Sir William Douglas, who fought for Scottish independence
  • Sir William Wallace, also a Scottish patriot
  • King Richard I of England, who was knighted by King Louis VII of France
  • Sir Thomas Mallory, remembered for writing Le Morte d'Arthur.
  • Jean II Le Maingre, marshall of France during the Hundred Years' War
  • Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, Spanish knight remembered as El Cid
  • Hugues de Payens, a founder of the Knights Templar
  • Jacques de Molay, last Grand Master of the Knights Templar
