The "Hassansins" are obviously modeled on the famous Islamic mystery cult called the Hashshashin from which the word "assassin" is derived given their use of terror and assassinations as political leverage. Their leader was named Hassan Ibn Sabbah whose activities took place in the heart of the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran (The place was called Alamut). Legends have surrounded the indoctrination process of the members of the Hashshashin cult, which are said to involve drugging and mind control. They were likely inserted as an homage to Ubisofts largest franchise 'Assassin's Creed' which is likewise based on the cult of Hashshashins.

Who is Tamina?

Tamina is essentially the movie version of Farah, with a few subtle differences although her role in the plot is exactly like that of Farah. She is the princess of her realm, and annointed guardian of the Dagger of Time. She does not wield a bow and arrow, instead being more of a diplomat rather than a warrior. Originally, Tamina (Tahmina/Tahmineh) is one of the female characters in the Shahnameh. Her name is mentioned as the wife of Rostam (Persian hero) (Also called Rostam-e-Dastan) and as the daughter of Samanganshah, the sovereign of Samangan. For more information, see here.

Are there any scenes during or after the credits?

No. Once the end credits begin to roll, the show is over.
