125.163.4.135:

Saladin (or Salah al-Din)(Arabic: صلاح الدين) Full name: Yusuf Salah al-Din Ibn Ayyub (Arabic: يوسف صلاح الدين بن أيوب), or simply Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi (Arabic: صلاح الدين الأيوبي)

[Note that "Salah al-Din" is one name, not a first name and surname]

Saladin is the commander of the Muslim armies and lands arrayed against the invading [[Richard the Lionhearted]], and never makes a direct appearance in the game. He is, however, referenced frequently by other characters, and his forces are engaged with Richards during the battle of [[Arsuf]]. Despite Defeated three times in [[Acre]], [[Arsuf]] and [[Jaffa]] by Richard, Saladin manages to secure Jerusalem by finalizing a treaty by which Jerusalem would remain under Muslim control, but which also allowed unarmed Christian pilgrims to visit the city. This treaty is called [[Treaty of Ramla]]. Richard departed the Holy Land on October 9, 1192.

Saladin died on March 4, 1193. He is buried in Umayyad Mosque, Damascus, Syria. He is considered as a hero in the Arab world, also respected by his Christian counterparts.

Many people preach about Saladin in [[Jerusalem]] and [[Damascus]]. Oddly enough they all speak in the same gruff voice.
