'''The Mentor's Keeper''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.
==Description==
At the age of 24, [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] returns to [[Masyaf]] on horseback and finds the mountainous village under siege. After helping a fellow [[Assassin]] fend off two [[Templars]], he confronts the man that ordered the attack, [[Haras]]. However, the gates are closed, so Altaïr scales the fortress wall to save [[Rashid ad-Din Sinan|Al Mualim]].

==Dialogue==
[[File:Mentor's_keeper_2.png|thumb|right|250px|Altaïr aiding a fellow Assassin.]]
Altaïr rides into the besieged town and saves a fellow Assassin.
*'''Altaïr:''''' Are you hurt?''
*'''Assassin:''' ''Broken foot. What is your name, brother?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Altaïr. Son of [[Umar Ibn-La'Ahad|Umar]].''
*'''Assassin:''' ''Umar... ah yes. He was a fine man who lived as he died. With honor.''
Abbas comes running to Altaïr.
*'''Abbas:''' ''Altaïr! We have been betrayed. The enemy has overrun the castle!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''You'll live.''
Altaïr turns towards Abbas.
*'''Altaïr:''' ''And Al Mualim? Where is he?''
*'''Abbas:''' ''He was inside when the crusaders broke through. We can do nothing for him now. Altaïr! We must fall back!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''When I close the castle gate, flank the crusaders in the village and drive them into the canyon.''
*'''Abbas:''' ''You don't stand a chance!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Abbas. No mistakes.''
Altaïr makes his way to the Masyaf gate and is confronted by Haras, whose men are holding Al Mualim.
*'''Haras:''' ''Another step and your Mentor dies.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''You will not leave this place alive, traitor.''
*'''Haras:''' ''No. You misunderstand. I am no traitor... ... for I cannot betray those I never truly loved.''
[[File:Mentor's_keeper_6.png|thumb|right|250px|Altaïr stopped at the gates by Haras.]]
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Then you are double wretched, for you have been living a lie.''
Altaïr starts infiltrating the castle, while Haras kills many Assassins.
*'''Haras:''' ''Now you call on your lapdog to protect you? You disappoint me. Why not share wat you have learned with everyone, like a proper Assassin. Why not share with your brothers the true extent of your ambition? Where is your sense of fraternity? Another good man dies, and still you say nothing! I am surprised. You taught me many things, Al Mualim, but patience was not one of them. Speak now, or I will cut out your tongue that you may speak no more! Your time is running out, old man. Tell me what you know of the artifact! Tell me where you are searching for it. It is a small price to pay to preserve what you have built here, no?''
Altaïr assassinates Haras.
*'''Haras:''' ''You put too much faith in the hearts of men, Altaïr. The Templars know the truth. Humans are weak, base, and petty.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''No. Our Creed is evidence to the contrary.''
*'''Haras:''' ''Ah... perhaps I am not wise enough to understand, but I suspect the opposite. That I am too wise to believe such rubbish.''
Haras dies and Altaïr walks with Al Mualim.

*'''Al Mualim:''' ''You offered him a chance to salvage his dignity. Why?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''No man should pass from this world without knowing some kindness.''
*'''Al Mualim:''' ''But he shunned your graces.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''As was his right.''
*'''Al Mualim: '''''Altaïr, I have watched you grow from a boy to a man in so short a time, it fills me with as much sadness as pride. You fit your father's shoes as if they had been tailored to your feet.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''I did not know him well as a father. He was an Assassin above all.''
*'''Al Mualim:''' ''You too were born into this Order. Do you regret it?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''How can I regret the only life I have ever known?''
*'''Al Mualim:''' ''You may find a way, in time. And it will be up to you to choose the path you prefer. Come, my boy... and ready your blade. This battle is not yet won.''

==Outcome==
Altaïr kills Haras and saves Al Mualim.

==Trivia==
*To achieve full [[synchronization]], Altaïr must save all civilians. These citizens are four people represented by black dots on your minimap who are being attacked by two templar soldiers.
*A rare Easter Egg can be seen. If you use your Eagle Vision, you can see one of the Assassins in red.
*If you play the mission A New Regime first and then start this memory, Altair will look have a beard and his second hidden blade but will only use it during counter kills.
