	Circa 1189, a man by the name of [[Haras]] joined the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins\|Levantine ~~Assassins~~]]~~.

	Upon spotting the approaching Templars, [[Al Mualim]] instructed the Assassin [[Faisal]] to flank them and cause panic to drive out the attackers. Faisal seemingly complied, but after his fellow Assassin [[Rafee]] approached, Faisal declined his help with the mission and made his way alone towards Masyaf's main entrance. In reality, Faisal had no intention of following Al Mualim's orders and sought to travel to [[Damascus]] to pursue his own goals.<ref name="Chapter 4">''[[Assassin's Creed: Escape Room Puzzle Book]]'' – Chapter 4: Deceiving the Assassins</ref>		Upon spotting the approaching Templars, [[Al Mualim]] instructed the Assassin [[Faisal]] to flank them and cause panic to drive out the attackers.

	Altaïr warned the traitor that he would not leave the castle alive, yet Haras merely put his helmet back on, responding that he was not a traitor, for he could not betray ones whom he had ''"never truly loved"''.

	The gates of the castle closed, and Haras returned to questioning his prisoners. As the gate prevented Altaïr from entering, he took an alternate route up the walls. As Altaïr assassinated sentries atop the walls, Haras began interrogating Al Mualim, demanding to be given information regarding an "[[Apple of Eden 2\|artifact]]". He proceeded to kill off the three Assassin hostages [[Vahid Ahmedi]], [[Fahd El Fehmi]], and [[Raşit El Zübeydi]] one by one in an attempt to force Al Mualim to reveal what he needed to know.<ref name="The Mentor's Keeper"/>		The gates of the castle closed, and Haras returned to questioning his prisoners.

	The enraged Haras offered Al Mualim one last chance to reveal his information, or die. At the same time, Altaïr was able to get close to the three Templars and Assassin Mentor from above on a ledge but was presented with a dire situation, as there was almost no way to prevent the death of his Mentor. In a last resort, Altaïr leapt off the ledge with his [[Hidden Blade]] at the ready, and landed on the unsuspecting Templar, assassinating him.<ref name="The Mentor's Keeper"/>		The enraged Haras offered Al Mualim one last chance to reveal his information, or die.

	The two soldiers who had restrained Al Mualim were momentarily stunned by the death of their leader, giving Al Mualim the opportunity to break free and eliminate his captors. As Haras bled out, he claimed the Templars knew that [[human]]s were weak and petty, though Altaïr rebutted that [[the Creed]] was evidence to the contrary. Before dying, Haras sneered that he was "too wise" to believe such things. With the castle retaken and Al Mualim saved, Altaïr began walking down the courtyard with his Mentor.<ref name="The Mentor's Keeper"/>		The two soldiers who had restrained Al Mualim were momentarily stunned by the death of their leader, giving Al Mualim the opportunity to break free and eliminate his captors.

	As they talked, Al Mualim asked why Altaïr offered the Templar a chance of salvation. Altaïr reasoned that no person should die without being shown some kindness. Al Mualim admitted to Altaïr that watching him grow from a boy to a man had given him much sadness and pride, before stating that Altaïr fit the role of his father perfectly.<ref name="The Mentor's Keeper"/>		As they talked, Al Mualim asked why Altaïr had offered the Templar a chance at salvation.

	After saying that Altaïr's father was an Assassin above all else, Al Mualim asked the young Assassin if he regretted the life he had been put into as a child. Altaïr responded by asking how he could regret the only life he had ever known. Al Mualim finally told Altaïr that he would find his path to glory in time, and that the battle for Masyaf was not over. The two Assassins left the fortress and joined the other Assassins in the day's final fight against the Templars.<ref name="The Mentor's Keeper"/>		After saying that Altaïr's father was an Assassin above all else, Al Mualim asked the young Assassin if he regretted the life he had been put into as a child.
