Yusuf is of the same rank as Ezio. Ubisoft has confirmed that. Ezio is the Mentor/Grand Master of the Italian Assassins, Yusuf is the Mentor/Grand Master of the Ottoman Assassins.

At that time, communication was not like it is now, so it was not easy for one person to control the Order over a whole lot of countries at the same time. So there were different Mentors for each country. Later, by the modern era, communication is like it is now, so there was only one Mentor leading the entire Order.
