'''Adolf Hitler''' (April 20, 1889 – c.April 30, 1945) was the leader of Nazi Germany during the Second World War, and a member of the [[Knights Templar]].

==Biography==
A member of the Knights Templar since before 1933, Hitler received a [[Piece of Eden]] from his fellow Templar, [[Henry Ford]]. Hitler used it to achieve a democratic takeover of the country and subsequently turn it into a military dictatorship. With the Piece of Eden in his possession, this change was widely unopposed and he remained highly popular within Germany; fanatical soldiers accepted his orders unquestioningly and proceeded to invade Poland, starting the Second World War. Eventually however, despite the strength of the Piece of Eden, Germany was defeated by the combined might of the Allies and Soviets; though this could possibly have been a predetermined outcome created by the Knights Templar.

Hitler was given a Piece of Eden which he kept secret from everyone, including his close people like his second in command and secretaries. Once he took over Germany however, he began freely using it to make great strides in numerous scientific fields. He also used the Piece of Eden to begin production of a UFO type aircraft, which was never fully realized as the war ended sooner than expected.

Hitler was meant to survive the war by faking his death with a body double. Shortly before the war's end, a patient [[Assassins|Assassin]] caught him outside the Führerbunker. His actual death would go unnoticed until his failure to meet with his fellow Templars.

What became of the Piece of Eden following Hitler's death remains unknown.

==Characterisitcs and personality==
Hitler was greatly obsessed with the occult and mysterious. He used that as a cover story to further his search for the other Pieces of Eden. It was noted in a few documentaries that he searched greatly for the Spear of Longius, aka the Holy Lance, the spear that pierced Christ's side during his time on the Cross. This is more than likely a Piece of Eden known as the Spear. There are also numerous other items he supposedly had sought out for occult value that includes, The Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, and numerous other such objects.

==Trivia==
*It is suggested in [[Subject Sixteen]]'s glyphs that the Templars planned World War II: Hitler, [[Joseph Stalin]] and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were all members of the Order.
*Historically, Hitler won the [[wikipedia:Iron Cross|Iron Cross]] twice during World War I for bravery. The Iron Cross is, in this instance, the same symbol as the Mark of Cain, the emblem of the Knights Templar and identical to the [[Knights Teutonic]] Cross. Hitler, in fact, wanted to revive the Knights Teutonic and greatly admired that order during the Crusades.

[[File:Sword_of_Altair.jpg|thumb|Real life replica of Altair's sword]]
[[Altaïr]]'s personal sword that he uses throughout ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'', and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]''. The blade's hilt is shaped like an eagle's wings, while the blade itself is both long and agile, making it a light and deadly weapon. In the first game however, his last sword is a gold Syrian sword. This same sword is apparently the weapon of choice for the guards at [[Masyaf]]. It is also available as a weapon in [[Assassin's Creed II]]. It is unknown where the sword originated from, but it is rumored to come from Syria. It is said to have been wrought of pure steel and ivory from the goddess Isis herself.

=== Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles ===
Altaïr was equipped with his sword even before the events of ''Assassin's Creed'', using it to wipe out platoons of [[Templars]].

== Assassin's Creed ==
[[File:AltairsSword.png|thumb|Altaïr equipping his sword]]

Altaïr starts the game with his sword, which he is very skilled with until [[Al Mualim]] demotes him to [[Novice]] for breaking all three tenets of [[The Creed]]. His demotion decreases his skill greatly. During his progression back to his former rank, [[Master Assassin]], Altaïr eventually regains his mastery with [[Longsword]]s.

=== Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines ===
Altaïr still possesses his sword during the events after ''Assassin's Creed''. In fact, the sword(s) can be found hung in Kantara Castel Greathall ('The Bull' stage), as ornaments.

=== Assassin's Creed 2 ===
[[Altaïr]]'s sword appears in the [[Monteriggioni]] [[Blacksmiths]]. It is available for purchase for 45,000 florins after DNA Sequence 8. it is unknown as to why the sword is available from the blacksmiths because the sword (being Altair's personal weapon) should have rightfully been made available once his armour was unlocked. however it not impossible that the sword could have been lost when the codex was lost, found and then sold off to the blacksmiths. The sword in the game is shorter compared to the other longswords [[Ezio]] can use; the entire sword being only a little longer than the length of his arm. However, Altaïr's sword is the strongest weapon available. Strange is that Altaïr's sword is the best in the game because in Assassins Creed the Syrian sword was the best Longsword; however, it is not impossible that Altaïr modified the sword. It is interesting to note, that in later memory sequences of the game, if and when the player has the sword equipped, it is quite easily knocked away from Ezio by [[Brute]] guards.

=== Sword Stats ===
The Stats of the sword easily show why it is the most powerful melee weapon in the game, as all 3 stats are maxed out.
