Often described as a secret order led by a mysterious "Old Man of the Mountain" the Nizari Ismailis were a sect that formed in the late 11th century from a split within Ismailism � a branch of Shia Islam. The Nizaris posed a strategic threat to Sunni Seljuq authority by capturing and inhabiting several mountain fortresses throughout Persia and later Syria under the leadership of Hassan-i Sabbah. Asymmetric warfare psychological warfare and surgical strikes were often an employed tactic of the assassins drawing their opponents into submission rather than risk killing them." .
