Hassan-i Sabbah is the Old Man of the Mountain, the founder of the first Assassins. He's a real historical figure. Wiki him.

The Tsukihime anime wasn't good enough for it to have any emotional impact on me. The game probably fleshes the characters out better.
i thought the anime had a really slow story progression, but in the end, episode twelve really made me wanna cry, least shirou knew saber was leaving and saber died peacefully, but arcueid in tsukihime had like the complete opposite. anyways, stay on topic, who is true assassin?
