Ubayd Alayza (died 1499) was a Templar and the older brother of Najma Alayza who lived during the Renaissance.
Biography[]
Ubayd grew up in Granada with his sister Najma under the care of their father, since their mother had vanished when Najma was young. Their father was an influential philosopher and astronomer in the Granada court as well as an ally of the Assassin Brotherhood, like the rest of their family.[1]
At some point, Ubayd himself was inducted into the Brotherhood, though he would eventually defect to the Templar Order. During a quarrel between father and son about the latter's treachery, Ubayd ended up murdering his father in anger, leaving behind the dagger he used.[1]
In 1499, Ubayd and his Templar handler Garza began abducting Assassin allies in Granada and handing them over to the Spanish Inquisition, attracting attention from both the Spanish Assassins and Najma, now a member of the Libyan Brotherhood. They would rescue their allies from Ubayd, but much to Najma's ire, he managed to escape, forcing the Assassins to retreat to safety in the Alhambra fortress.[2]
In the Alhambra, Garza and Ubayd argued about their actions, with Ubayd expressing regret for both the pain he inflicted in Granada and the murder of his father, before Garza stabbed his charge and left Ubayd to bleed to death as Najma arrived. Ubayd admitted to his sister that he was a fool to trust the Templars, and asked that she set things right, for Granada, before collapsing on the stone tiles. Najma remarked to the Spanish Assassins that accompanied her that Ubayd deserved a better death, even after all he had done, before setting off in pursuit of Garza.[3]
