216.99.52.209: /* Rank Seven */

During the course of ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', the player will lead [[Altaïr]] as he rises through the ranks of the [[Assassins|Assassin's Order]] after being demoted from the highest rank to [[Novice|the lowest]]. When he is demoted, he loses many pieces of equipment, many abilities, seventy percent of his base [[Synchronization]] levels, and all [[weapons]]; as he is promoted he will earn back a few each time.

==Rank Ten (Start of Game)==
Throughought Memory Block 1 at the beginning of the game, Altaïr is at the highest rank in the Order, rank Ten. All the abilities, equipment, and weapons that will be available to him during the game are available at the very beginning; in addition, his base [[Synchronization]] is maximized.

==Rank One==
{{Main|Novice}}
In Memory Block 2, Altaïr is demoted for breaking the [[Tenets]] of the Assassins' Order. Rank One (also known as Novice or Apprentice rank)) is the very first rank, the one in which Altaïr is provided no weapons, provided no equipment, and has the lowest base [[Synchronization]] in the game, four bars.

==Rank Two==
After Altaïr exposes the [[Masun|Traitor]] to [[Al Mualim]], he is promoted to rank two and returned his Hidden Blade. He is also given the sword that Mualim himself had just used to slay the Traitor, as well as the [[Hidden Blade]]. This sword is much less ornate and powerful than his original sword, but Altaïr is grateful nonetheless, he will need both these weapons if he is going to slay [[Tamir the Merchant]]

From this point on, all successful Assassinations (except for that of [[Robert de Sable]]) will earn Altaïr promotions.
