'''Altaïr''' (الطائر in [[wikipedia:Arabic|Arabic]]) is the main character and protagonist in [[Assassin's Creed]]. His full name is Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad.

He is a master assassin, capable of extraordinary acrobatic feats, and a member of the Hashashein sect (also known as the trademark for the word assassin, even though there were many assassins before this time). During the beginning of the game, he is demoted to "uninitiated", so he loses most of his abilities. His objective is to kill nine men who are involved in a conspiracy against the Holy Land, however his master isn't telling him that there were actually ten men involved. If he succeeds, he will be redeemed. Altaïr travels between the game's four cities ([[Jerusalem]], [[Masyaf]], [[Damascus]], and [[Acre]]) and kills his victims with a variety of [[weapons]].

The name Altaïr is an Arabic word, which means "the flyer" or "The flying eagle." In recent interviews, the game's producer, [[wikipedia:Jade_Raymond|Jade Raymond]] has stated that while in mid-air, Altaïr's shadow resembles that of an eagle. This is because of the design of his attire, which includes a point at the front of the hood (to resemble a beak) and cuts through the back of the outfit (to resemble tail feathers). The second part of his name, Ibn La-Ahad means 'son of no-one', reflecting his mysterious origins. It has been revealed by Raymond that his father was a Shiite Muslim and his mother a Christian. His appearance is similar to Desmond's, except upon closer inspection a scar can be seen on his mouth. It it likely that the scar is a wound from either a battle or from his training.

Altaïr's most interesting weapon is a concealed dagger similar to that of a Katar used for close-range assassinations. It is mounted on the inside of his left hand gauntlet, and when deployed, extends between his middle and little fingers through the space left by his amputated ring finger. This amputation was part of the initiation for becoming an assassin of the Hashshashin sect.

Altaïr also uses a combination of throwing knives, a sword, a small dagger, and his fists. The throwing knives are very useful when taking down archers as you approach an assassination target. The sword is slower than the dagger but when attacking is much more powerful. The dagger is fast and light and can be used in tandem with the knives.

A few pieces of dialogue within the game hint that Altair was potentially in a relationship prior to the game, but has since become single, possibly due to the woman in question either missing or having left him.

He is voiced by Philip Shahbaz.

Lucy Stillman

A scientist working for [[Abstergo Industries|Abstergo Industries.]] She helps [[Warren Vidic|Dr. Vidic]] in the research of [[Altair|Altair.]] She is modelled after and voiced by Kristen Bell Deemer

Not much is known about Lucy's at the start of the game, although it can be assumed that she is not as cold hearted a person as Dr. Vidic is. She frequently stops [[Desmond Miles|Desmond]] from using the [[Animus]] for prolonged periods of time, because she says it can strain the body severely if used for too long. She is also generally warmer in personality than Dr. Vidic and is generally nicer to Desmond, allowing him a bit more freedom than Dr. Vidic Does, even to the point of allowing him to use her computer once.

{{spoiler}}

Throughout the game, Desmond has many chances to speak to Lucy and to get to know her better. These moments occur at the end of each memory segment, after Dr. Vidic leaves the lab. As Desmond talks to Lucy, she starts to tell him a bit about her past. It is revealed that during her college career she was ostracized for her scientific beliefs and her theories. After college she could not find work at any scientific organization. She became so desperate that she was ready to give up science altogether. Then she received a call from Dr. Vidic, who told her he agreed with her theories and offered her the chance to work for Abstergo and to prove her theories to be true. It is unclear as to exactly what these theories are, but it is inferred that it has something to do with Genetic Memory and with the work being done on the Animus project. It is also unclear as to exactly how large a role Lucy had in either the creation or the development of the Animus machine.

Lucy also reveals to Desmond that he is not the only captive Abstergo is holding. She too is being detained by the company. She then tells him a story about how a while back her death was ordered by the company, but before her assailants could finish the deed, they were ordered to stop by Dr. Warren Vidic. She claims that he saved her life that day, and she tells Desmond not to judge him so harshly, as he is under a lot of pressure.

Whether this story is true or not is unknown. It is possible Lucy is feeding Desmond false information in an attempt to get him to trust her, but it could also very well be taken at face value. Throughout the game you can gain access to Lucy's computer and read her emails. From the emails, you definitely get the idea that she is telling the truth, as she is obviously concerned for her own safety and is trying to find out more information about a previous Abstergo employee who died a while back. This employee is said to have "committed suicide" but the documents relating to the death are being held as classified and are not being released. How Desmond came upon the codes to Lucy's emails remains a mystery, however, it can be speculated that she planted them to give him a better idea of what was going on with Abstergo, in which case she was invaluable.

At the end of the game when you can see the writing on the floor you can go to the computer where Lucy is usually working and access it. If you look at her deleted emails there is a conversation in which Lucy tells another person that she has been delaying the doctor from finding the artifacts and asking for the other person to send a rescue. The rescue may be the people you hear trying to get to you towards the end of the game. This also means Lucy is an assassin, which is also shown by her showing Desmond her left hand and symbolically pulling in her ring finger to have it appear like Altair's missing finger, and is spying on Abstergo Industries.
