Born into a powerful family, Robert was immersed in nobility from birth. He eventually became lord and ruler of Briollay, [[France]]. Subsequently, Robert entered the order of the Knights Templar and reigned as their Grand Master from 1190, until his death in 1191. During the Third Crusade, Robert and the Knights Templar, alongside the rest of the Crusader army, laid siege to the city of [[Acre]], which soon fell. Throughout August 1191, they also recaptured many fortresses and cities along the Palestinian coast, which had previously been lost. ==Biography== ===Quest for the Apple of Eden=== {{Quote|I want this through the gates before sunrise. The sooner we can possess it, the sooner we can turn our attention to those jackals at Masyaf.|Robert ordering his men to retrieve the [[Ark of the Covenant]].|Assassin's Creed}} In 1191, Robert and a group of his men entered [[Solomon's Temple]] beneath the [[Temple Mount]] within [[Jerusalem]]. Robert and his men were attempting to retrieve the [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] that was hidden there; however, just as Robert sent his men to climb up to the artifact, a group of [[Assassins]] consisting of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], [[Malik Al-Sayf]], and [[Kadar Al-Sayf]] ambushed them. Altaïr approached Robert head-on and attempted to assassinate him, but Robert was able to thwart the Assassin's attack. Robert threw Altaïr out of the room, causing a minor rockslide that blocked the entrance with rubble. Robert and his guards then engaged the remaining Assassins, killing Kadar, and severely wounding Malik's left arm. However, Malik was able to steal the artifact from the Templars, flee from the city, and return to his [[Mentor]], [[Rashid ad-Din Sinan]]. Robert, however, determined to regain the artifact, pursued the Assassin out of Jerusalem, and towards the Assassin fortress of Masyaf. Upon arrival of the Templars, two of the Assassins defected, opening the gates of the town for Robert and his Templar infantry, and allowing them to storm the village. Many of the [[civilians]] and numerous Assassins were killed as a result. [[File:Siege of Masyaf 1.jpg|thumb|250px|Robert during the siege.]] Though the Assassins led a retaliation against the Templars, they were eventually driven back into the safety of their fortress. Arriving at the fortress gates, Robert demanded that they return the artifact to him, saying that it was his property. However, Al Mualim refused to do so, stating that he had no claim to the object. Robert rebuked him, claiming that he played a dangerous game and that the Templar forces could simply wait out the Assassins. The Mentor ignored this threat, and signaled Altaïr to activate a trap that caused several logs to tumble onto the Templar soldiers, killing many soldiers and scattering the remaining force. With his forces severely diminished, Robert and the remaining Templars retreated from the town. ===Decline of power=== {{Quote|You have laid waste our plans, first the treasure then our men. Control of the Holy Land slipped away. But then, he saw an opportunity; to reclaim what has been stolen, to turn your victories to our advantage.|Maria Thorpe speaking to Altaïr about Robert's plans.|Assassin's Creed}} Robert managed to convince many Crusaders and [[Saracens]] to secretly defect to the Templars, promising them power in the "[[New World Order|New World]]" they would create. Despite these promises, Altaïr, who had been demoted because of his failure at Solomon's Temple, was assigned to [[Hunt for the Nine|eliminate nine potent Templars]], including Robert, in order to regain his lost rank and honor. [[File:ACDecoy.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Robert's decoy at the funeral.]] Over the course of around a month, Altaïr was successful in killing eight of the Templars. Ultimately, he pursued Robert to Jerusalem, where he was scheduled to attend the [[Hunt for the Nine#Funeral for the Fallen|funeral]] of one of his murdered Templars, [[Majd Addin]]. However, Robert had foreseen that he would be the next target, and had thus assigned his Lieutenant, [[Maria Thorpe]], to disguise herself as Robert and attend the funeral as a trap for Altaïr. Meanwhile, Robert left to join the battlefield at [[Arsuf]], alongside King Richard. Altaïr fell for the trap, but was able to defeat Maria and learn of Robert's true whereabouts and intentions. He spared Maria, as she was not his target, and rode for Arsuf, determined to take Robert's life. ===Battle of Arsuf and death=== {{Quote|Robert de Sable is now all that stands between us and victory. It's his mouth that gives orders, his hand pays the gold. With him dies the knowledge of the Templar treasure.|Al Mualim speaks of Robert.|Assassin's Creed}} Robert stood by King Richard's side during the course of the Battle of Arsuf. There, he was able to convince Richard to ally himself with Salah Al'din against a common enemy: the Assassins, as they had caused numerous deaths on both sides. [[File:Robertarsufgms.jpg|thumb|250px|Robert speaking with King Richard at Arsuf.]] However, Altaïr fought his way through Arsuf against Crusaders and Saracens alike, eventually arriving at the Crusader camp, where he met Richard and Robert. Altaïr attempted to convince Richard that the men he killed were secretly Templars, and that Robert was going to rebel against Richard, though Robert defended himself by saying that the Assassins were master deceivers. Richard, unsure of who to believe, left God to decide who was speaking the truth, and had Altaïr fight against the Templars. Altaïr stood victorious against them, but was left to face Robert himself. Robert proved to be a match for Altaïr, but he was nonetheless defeated. As he died, Robert enlightened Altaïr to the fact that Al Mualim was secretly a Templar as well. He told him that Al Mualim wanted to have the Apple of Eden for himself, and that he had sent Altaïr to kill the nine targets, in order to keep them from gaining possession of the Apple. ==Characteristics and personality== Robert was a very manipulative man, able to recruit various members to the Templar cause by offering them power in the New World. At the same time, Robert gained King Richard's trust, despite secretly plotting his downfall. [[File:Altaïr_&_Robert_4.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Robert thwarts Altaïr's assassination attempt.]] Robert was also an ingenious strategist, turning Al Mualim's plan to kill his supporters into a trap to destroy the Assassin Order. Robert was a supreme fighter as well, able to almost match Altaïr in battle. He was also able to easily stop Altaïr from assassinating him in Solomon's Temple. However, due to his disregard for the Templars' rule to not consort with women, Robert was not held in high regard by all of his fellow Templars, among which was his own successor, [[Armand Bouchart]]. ==Final words== *'''Altaïr:''' ''It's done, then. Your schemes, like you, are put to rest.'' *'''Robert:''' (laughing coldly) ''You know nothing of schemes. You are but a puppet. He betrayed you, boy, just as he betrayed me.'' *'''Altaïr:''' ''Speak sense, Templar, or not at all!'' *'''Robert:''' ''Nine men he sent you to kill, yes? The nine who guarded the treasure's secret?'' *'''Altaïr:''' ''What of it?'' *'''Robert:''' ''It wasn't nine who found the treasure, Assassin; not nine, but ten!'' *'''Altaïr:''' ''A tenth? None may live who carry the secret. Give me his name!'' *'''Robert:''' ''Oh, but you know him well, and I doubt very much you'd take his life as willingly as you've taken mine.'' *'''Altaïr:''' ''Who?! '' *'''Robert:''' ''It is your master, Al Mualim.'' *'''Altaïr:''' ''But he is not a Templar!'' *'''Robert:''' ''Did you never wonder how it is he knew so much? Where to find us, how many we numbered, what we aspire to attain?'' *'''Altaïr:''' ''He is the master of the Assassins!'' *'''Robert:''' Oui, ''master of lies. You and I are just two more pawns in his grand game. And now, with my death, only you remain. Do you think he'll let you live, knowing what you do?'' *'''Altaïr:''' ''I have no interest in the treasure!'' *'''Robert:''' ''Ah, but he does. The only difference between your master and I is that he did not want to share.'' *'''Altaïr:''' ''No.'' *'''Robert:''' ''Ironic, isn't it, that I, your greatest enemy, kept you safe from harm? But now you've taken my life... and in the process, ended your own!'' ==Trivia== *In-game, Robert was in his mid-30s when he was killed by Altaïr. Historically, he was relatively old when he died of natural causes. *Robert appears to have one of the largest physical builds in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', being a head taller than Altaïr himself. He is also known to be physically stronger than Altaïr. ==Source== *''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' {{AC}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Sable, Robert de}} [[de:Robert de Sablé]]

'''Sibrand''' (1157 - 1191) was the leader of the [[Knights Teutonic]], and secretly a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]]. He was the seventh individual assassinated by the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]].

Like his Templar brothers, Sibrand's death was commanded by [[Rashid ad-Din Sinan|Al Mualim]]. As the Grand Master of the Knights Teutonic, he held authority over the [[Acre Harbour|port]] area of the Middle District within the city of [[Acre]], until his death in 1191.

==Biography==
===Teutonic leader===
{{Quote|I followed my orders, believing in my cause, same as you.|Sibrand to Altaïr|Assassin's Creed}}
By 1191, Sibrand had become the Grand Master of the Knights Teutonic. Having obtained this position of great power, Sibrand was desperate to remain in charge and would do anything to prevent his power from slipping away. As he was incapable to secure his position, Sibrand became plagued by ideas of conspiracies and plots against him, so much that he often doubled the patrols and even threatened to pull knights from battle to protect him.

He remained consistently vigilant, searching for signs of trouble. He took control of the docks in the city of Acre, where he also acquired the services of many ships. He planned to use these vessels to form a blockade that would prevent the "fool" Kings and Queens from sending aid once the Templars initiated their plan to usurp control of the Holy Land. Sibrand joined the Templars and was one of the men that guarded the [[Second Apple|Apple]]'s secrets and capabilities.

===Death===
{{Quote|Nothing. Nothing waits... and that is what I fear.|Sibrand.|Assassin's Creed}}

[[File:AC_Sibrand_1.png|thumb|250px|Sibrand harassing a scholar.]]
Having locked himself away in Acre's docks, Sibrand waited to perform his role in the "liberation" of the Holy Land. The Assassin, Altaïr, began his [[investigation]] into Sibrand, and soon noticed him scolding two [[guards]], threatening to double their shifts if they would not get back to their posts.

Altaïr then set out to the docks, only to find Sibrand abusing and tormenting a [[scholar]] in front of a group of [[civilians]], accusing the scholar of being an Assassin. After taunting and eventually killing the scholar, Sibrand warned the citizens not to aid the Assassins. Sibrand then donned his horned helmet, and set off for his personal ship, unaware that Altaïr was navigating his way through the docks, and towards his ship.

Altaïr soon heard the Templar shouting that he would take care of the Assassins himself if no one else would. Altaïr then stealthily climbed aboard the ship and put an end to Sibrand's life. With his last breath, Sibrand explained to Altaïr his role assigned to him by the Brotherhood, continuing to say how he had proof that nothing waited for him after his life. Having told the Assassin all he knew, Sibrand perished.

==Personality and characteristics==
When he was appointed as the Grand Master of the Teutonics, Sibrand had been a fierce man, who never failed to strike fear into the crowds. He was both a skilled swordsman and archer, making him a dangerous opponent. However, as he witnessed more of his Templar brothers dying, he became paranoid and cowardly.

His paranoia became such a burden to him that he doubled the patrols in his district and even killed men, simply for wearing clothes that were similar to the Assassin's garments. Sibrand always kept a keen eye on the crowds surrounding him, always expecting an Assassin to emerge from them.

Like his fellow Templars, Sibrand did not believe in a god or an afterlife, claiming that the Piece of Eden had been proof. He feared death, believing that there was nothing to await him once he passed away.

==Final words==
[[File:AC_Sibrand_2.png|thumb|250px]]
*'''Sibrand:''' ''Please, don't do this!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''You are afraid...''
*'''Sibrand:''' ''Of course I am afraid!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''But you'll be safe now, held in the arms of your god.''
*'''Sibrand:''' ''Have my brothers taught you nothing!? I know what waits for me, for all of us!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''If not your god, then what?''
*'''Sibrand:''' ''Nothing. Nothing waits... and that is what I fear.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''You don't believe?''
*'''Sibrand:''' ''How could I, given what I know? What I've seen? Our treasure was the proof!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Proof of what?''
*'''Sibrand:''' ''That this life is all we have!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Linger a while longer then, and tell me of the part you were to play.''
*'''Sibrand:''' ''A blockade by sea, to keep the fool kings and queens from sending reinforcements once we... once we...''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Conquered the Holy Land!?''
*'''Sibrand:''' ''Freed it, you fool, from the tyranny of faith!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Freedom!? You worked to overthrow cities, control men's minds, murdered any who spoke against you!''
*'''Sibrand:''' ''I followed my orders, believing in my cause, same as you.''

==Trivia==

*Like [[Garnier de Naplouse|Garnier]] and [[Robert de Sable|Robert]], Sibrand was a historical leader of the Knights Teutonic. The Teutonic Order was governed by a "Meister Sibrand" between 1190 and 1192.
*An [[Assassin's Creed|in-game]] glitch can be found during Sibrand's assassination. To perform it, Sibrand must not be aware of your presence. When he is randomly shooting arrows on the front of his ship, approach and throw him against the side of the boat. Sibrand will fall off his ship and into the water. You will then fail the mission, supposedly because your target escaped.
**A second glitch may occur when Sibrand is at the front of the ship shooting his arrows and shouting, where he may not be wearing his helmet which he put on after killing the scholar.
**Another in-game glitch involving Sibrand takes place in the final memory, when you face the "clones" of your assassination victims, "Sibrand" will speak with a somewhat muffled voice as if he was wearing his helmet, although he does not.
*Sibrand is the only target in ''Assassin's Creed'' that you can see during an investigation, though he disappears once the cut-scene has finished.
*Like [[Talal]] in [[Jerusalem]] and [[Jubair al Hakim|Jubair]] in [[Damascus]], [[vigilantes]] will attempt to stop Sibrand if he tries to escape from the docks.
