[[File:KeyofAltaïr.png|thumb|220px|right|A key of Altaïr.]]
The '''keys of Altaïr''', sometimes referred to as '''seals''', were a collection of five [[First Civilization]] artefacts concealing information and memories from their original owner: the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]. When brought together, the keys would allow access to Altaïr's library in the fortress of [[Masyaf]],<ref name="ACTSC">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref> which was desired by both the Assassins and the [[Templars]].<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

==History==
===Altaïr's discovery===
[[File:ACR STORY 13.png|thumb|250px|left|Altaïr observing one of the keys.]]
While in exile in the castle of [[Alamut]] during the early 1240s, the [[Sixth Apple|Apple]] Altaïr possessed directed him to the artefacts, which he retrieved and hid.<ref name="ACTSC"/>

After researching them, he found out that the keys contained messages, but he did not know to whom they were intended.<ref name="ACTSC"/>

In 1257, whilst [[Masyaf]] was about to be besieged by the [[Mongols]], Altaïr passed the keys and his [[Codex]] on to his guests [[Niccolò Polo|Niccolò]] and [[Maffeo Polo]], who promised to hide the keys. They escaped from the Mongols with the help of Altaïr's son [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad|Darim]], and safely arrived in their home of [[Constantinople]], where they hid the keys and formed an [[Assassins Guild]].<ref name="ACTSC"/>

===Ezio's acquisition===
In 1510, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], the [[Grand Master of the Assassin Order|Mentor]] of the [[Italy|Italian]] Assassins, learned of the existence of Altaïr's library and the keys needed to open it after reading a document left behind by his late father [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]]. Curious and driven by a desire to obtain answers about his Order, Ezio left [[Rome]] for [[Masyaf]] to find the library.<ref name="ACR"/>

[[File:ACR STORY 16.png|thumb|250px|Ezio retrieving a key from a statue.]]
Ezio arrived in Masyaf in mid 1511, at which point one of the keys had come into possession of the Templar [[Leandros]], the captain of a group of [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] remnants. After a long struggle, Ezio was able to kill Leandros and obtain the key, at which moment Ezio relieved the memory of Altaïr saving his former mentor [[Al Mualim]] from a Templar attack on Masyaf.<ref name="ACR"/>

Ezio journeyed to Constantinople, where he continued his search for the keys, eventually finding one underneath Niccolò Polo's old trading post, at that point inhabited by the [[Venice|Venetian]] bookseller [[Sofia Sorto]]. With her help, Ezio was able to decode a map showing the locations of all keys in Constantinople.<ref name="ACR"/>
