	In 1191, during the [[Third Crusade]], ten [[Templars]] led by the [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Robert de Sablé]] ~~found~~ the ~~location~~ of the Apple and sought to ~~retrieve the artifact and use~~ it ~~to seize control of the Holy Land~~.

	During Altaïr's absence, Al Mualim ~~hypnotized~~ the Assassins and villagers of Masyaf to create his [[New World Order\|perfect world]]~~, having been corrupted by the Apple's power~~. When Al Mualim was [[Retaking of Masyaf\|confronted]] by Altaïr upon his return, he utilized the Apple's abilities to defend himself, such as creating several illusions of the Templars Altaïr had slain, along with phantom copies of himself. However, Altaïr was able to kill Al Mualim and take the Apple from him. As he was joined by Malik and ~~three other Assassins~~, the Apple projected a map showing the locations of more Pieces of Eden around the globe.<ref name="Al Mualim Assassination"/>		During Altaïr's absence, Al Mualim used the Apple's power to enthrall the Assassins and villagers of Masyaf, seeking to create his own [[New World Order\|perfect world]].

	Following Al Mualim's defeat, Altaïr, fearing that the Mentor might have deceived him with another illusion, decided to burn his body to be certain of his death. As this was against the Assassins' beliefs, several in the Order opposed him, most notably Altaïr's former friend and rival [[Abbas Sofian]]. The Order was soon split into two factions, and a fight broke out between them after Abbas shoved Altaïr off the cliff they were both standing on.<ref name="The Mentor's Wake">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' – [[The Mentor's Wake]]</ref>		Following Al Mualim's defeat, Altaïr, fearing that the Mentor might have deceived him with another illusion, decided to burn his body to be certain of his death.
