'''Majd Addin (مجد الدين)''' was the sixth person [[Al Mualim]] ordered [[Altaïr]] to assassinate. He was located in the poor district of [[Jerusalem]], [[Israel]].

==The Executioner Regent of Old Jerusalem==
[[File:AddinSpeech.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Majd Addin commandeers the crowd]]Majd Addin believed that others should either see the world the way he did, or die. He used fear and intimidation to keep the population of Jerusalem in check, and often issued strict, confusing edicts regarding the way people should conduct themselves. By doing this, he was also steadily reversing [[Saladin|Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn]]'s long-standing policy of tolerance toward all races, religions, and creeds. Almost every day, mock trials were held for those he perceived to be enemies of the city, wherein he would either frame them or exaggerate their crimes. The punishment was always the same: death. In this way, he silenced anyone who would oppose him, and struck fear into the hearts of people considering doing the same. He spoke with an authoritative edge and insisted that he knew what was best for the people of the city. Despite this, he was a snake, who was not to be trusted.

==Assassination==
During one of his public executions, Majd Addin was assassinated by Altaïr as he lectured the crowd. The [[Assassin]] claimed his life both to complete his mission, as well as to save a brother Assassin who had been captured, and was scheduled to be killed for heresy. In Majd Addin's dying moments, he told Altaïr the reason for his evil deeds, commenting that, while he joined the [[Templars]] to help them take control of Jerusalem, in reality, he simply wanted the power and fear such a position granted.

==Final Words==
[[File:Addin.Spills.The.Beans.png|thumb|300px|Majd Addin's assassination]]
'''Altaïr:''' ''Your work here is finished''.

'''Majd:''' ''No! No! It had only just begun!''

'''Altaïr:''' ''Tell me, what's your part in all this? Do you intend to defend yourself as the others have, and explain away your evil deeds?''

'''Majd:''' ''The Brotherhood wanted the city: I wanted power. There was... an opportunity.''

'''Altaïr:''' ''An opportunity to murder innocents!''

'''Majd:''' ''Not so innocent! Dissident voices cut deep as steel. They disrupt order. In this, I do agree with the Brotherhood.''

'''Altaïr:''' ''You'd kill people simply for believing differently from you?''

'''Majd:''' ''Of course not! I killed them because I could! Because it was fun! Do you know what it feels like to determine another man's fate? And did you see the way the people cheered? The way they feared me? I was like a god! You'd have done the same if you could! Such power...''

'''Altaïr:''' ''Once perhaps, but then I learned what becomes of those who lift themselves above others.''

'''Majd:''' ''And what is that?''

'''Altaïr:''' ''Here, let me show you!'' (stabs Majd in the neck with the [[Hidden Blade]], killing him.)

==Trivia==
[[File:Maj deat.jpg|thumb|250px|Majd Addin is executed]]
*Majd Addin ("glory of the faith") may be very loosely based on a man named [[wikipedia:Baha ad-Din ibn Shaddad|Bahā' ad-Dīn ibn Shaddād]] ("splendor of the faith"), who was close to Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn, and who wrote a biography on the great Saracen military leader and sultan. Bahā' ad-Dīn was a jurist and a scholar, and Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn liked his writings so much that he befriended the man and made him the judge of his armies. Bahā' ad-Dīn did not proclaim himself the Regent of Jerusalem, however.
*In one of Altaïr's investigations, it is revealed that Majd Addin was once the scribe of the ''emir'', wherein Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn was the Emir or Sultan at this time.
*Malik tells Altaïr that Majd Addin had "declared himself Regent in Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn's absence." However, when [[eavesdropping]] on some [[civilians]] (particularly the father of one of those to be executed), it becomes clear that the people are under the impression that Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn himself had appointed Majd Addin as Regent.
*Interestingly, Majd Addin executes the Assassin in a far more brutal manner than he does the other three. He executes the the first two with a simple slash of his sword. He impales the third, and when he gets to the Assassin, he impales him and then shifts the blade around inside his body.
*Majd Addin is only one of two targets who needs two stabs of the hidden blade to die (one during gameplay, and another in the [[Animus]] scene). The other target is [[Checco Orsi]], in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''.
*If you let the other Assassin get executed, you slowly lose your sync bars until you die.
*Majd Addin is the only one of Altaïr's main [[Assassination Targets]] that does not show any remorse, or any belief that their actions were in service of the greater good.
*Maja addin is one of the assassination targets that dresses very similar to his men. should a fight break out, it will be very hard to find him, let alone kill him.

'''Archers''' were a mainstay in both the national and private armies of many [[Templars]], in both the Holy Land and [[Italy]]. They are typically some of the weakest soldiers in the [[Assassin's Creed series|''Assassin's Creed'' series]], and are easily defeated with a single counter or stealth assassination. They detect an [[Assassin]] whenever he gets too close, or when he is spotted in a restricted area. They fight with their bows at a distance, and with standard longswords or maces when their enemy comes within a strikeable range.
==''[[Assassin's Creed]]''==

[[File:Assassins-creed-507.jpg|thumb|left|198px]]Archers in ''Assassin's Creed'' appear on the rooftops of every city, and on top of large wooden structures in the Kingdom. They commonly have very low armor, and can be killed with [[throwing knives]]; or approached for a stealth assassination. They are approximately as skilled as an ordinary soldier, and will fall to a single counter attack.

==''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]''==
Templar Archers are not as aware as the other archers in the other games, and will usually only detect and attack you when you are being chased. They are significantly dormant and oblivious to [[Altaïr]], except when he tries to climb a structure. In this game, Altaïr can now assassinate from ledges, making them the prime targets of this technique.

==''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''==
[[File:AC2 Rooftop archer.jpg|thumb|Ezio performing a ledge assassination on an Archer.]]
There are two types of archers in ''Assassins Creed II'': regular longbow archers and fire-tipped longbow archers. The latter attempt to make the carriage crash in the "Romagna Holiday" mission (they shoot arrows that create pools of fire on the ground, and force Ezio to maneuver around them) as well as shoot down the [[Flying Machine]] in the "Infrequent Flyer" mission and the "[[Battle for Forlì]]" special memory.

Archers are always found on rooftops in all cities, and carry both longbows and medium weapons. If they manage to see [[Ezio]] they will send him some warnings, such as shouting at him to get down off the roof. If Ezio ignores these warnings, they will start shooting at him, regardless of his Notoriety level. They will also hunt down [[Pickpocket]]s or [[Borgia Messenger]]s on rooftops if they pass by. If Ezio gets too close, they will use their melee weapons to attack; however, with their low armor and poor direct combat abilities, they make easy kills in close quarters. They can also be thrown from rooftops or ledge assassinated to be killed. In crowds, they can be lethal, as a small group can hold Ezio back, while the rest hit him with arrows.

There are special variations of archers found in Assassination missions and the Primary Memories. There are "Elite Archers" -- archers with the trademark Elite helmet and stats -- as well as "Captain Archers," which can be seen in the missions "Honourable Thief" (Venice Assassination mission) and in "Everything Must Go"(final Sequence 7 mission), although the archers in the latter mission are actually thieves and wear their trademark head wraps.

==''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''==
[[File:Z d371f5d4.jpg|thumb|Arrows descend from above]]In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', archers are nonexistent, being replaced instead with [[crossbow]]man. Furthermore, many of the [[Guards|guards]] that are posted on rooftops are [[arquebusiers]], who are equipped with an arquebus (rifle) instead of a bow.

Additionally, [[Ezio]] has the ability to assassinate multiple guards by ordering his [[Ezio's Apprentices|apprentices]] to fire a flurry of arrows at them, while he himself simply continues his route. This action is called an "Arrow Storm."

{{quote|Gaspar de la Croix is a master weapons engineer as well as an expert marksman.|Abstergo's database description}}[[File:Char_engineer.png|thumb|200px|The Engineer as he appears ingame]]
The '''Engineer''' (real name: '''[[Gaspar de la Croix]]''') is a multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', whose assassination weapon of choice is a drafting [[Compass]].

In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', Gaspar is revealed to be a haunted man. When Fiora Cavazza is sent to pick up some of his inventions for [[Cesare Borgia]], he asks her uncomfortable questions about death, aims an arquebus at the civilians passing his window, and disregards payment.

==Trivia==
*"De la Croix" is French for "of the Cross." This is likely a reference to his [[Templar]] affiliation. It is also possible that he is French.
*Before the launch of the ''Brotherhood'' Beta, he was referred to as "the Merchant."
*According to his Database entry in ''Brotherhood'', his profession is labeled as "Sniper," due to his appearance in an [[Abstergo]] Agent Mission, wherein he killed a man with an arquebus from a rooftop.
