	In the early 13th century, during his experimentation with the Apple of Eden, the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins\|Levantine Assassins]], Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, was able to miniaturize the design of a standard firearm into a "fiery weapon" small enough to be concealed on the wrist. However, ammunition for the Hidden Gun was scarce, so he went on to refine a combustible powder that could be manufactured from common ingredients.<ref name="Codex">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex]]: Page 28</ref>		In the early 13th century, during his experimentation with the Apple of Eden, the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins\|Levantine Assassins]], Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, was able to miniaturize the design of a standard firearm into a "fiery weapon" small enough to be concealed on the wrist.

	The first known time that Altaïr made use of the Hidden Gun was in [[Masyaf]], after his return from exile ~~in 1247~~. There, he spoke briefly to [[Abbas Sofian]] of the things he had learned from the Apple, ''"Of life and death, of the past and the future."'' After stating that he would show him, Altaïr shot Abbas with the Hidden Gun, resulting in the latter's death.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' – [[The Mentor's Return]]</ref>		The first known time that Altaïr made use of the Hidden Gun was in [[Masyaf]], after his return from exile.
