	'''Jamal''' was a member of the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins ~~\|Levantine Brotherhood~~]] of [[~~Assassins~~]]~~, serving the order under~~ [[Al Mualim]] ~~in the time of~~ the [[Third Crusade]]. He betrayed the Assassins ~~in 1191 when~~ the [[~~Templars\|~~Knights Templar]] ~~assaulted~~ the ~~Assassin base, colluding with another local,~~ [[Masun]]~~, in opening~~ the gates to the intruders.		'''Jamal''' was a member of the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins]] who served under the [[Mentor]] [[Al Mualim]] during the [[Third Crusade]]. In 1191, he betrayed the [[Assassins\|Order]] by assisting the [[Knights Templar]] in their attack on [[Masyaf]]; acting as an insider, he provided the enemy's plans to his accomplice [[Masun]] and instructed him to open the fortress gates for the intruders.

	==Biography==		==Biography==
	By 1191, Jamal and ~~a Masyaf~~ [[~~Heralds\|~~herald]], Masun, had ~~gotten into~~ contact with the Templar Order. ~~They soon converted to their ideology and acted as the order~~'s ~~secret agents~~ within the ~~Assassin stronghold. For communication~~, the ~~two employed the aid of~~ a local basket weaver, ~~who served as~~ the ~~medium by which they exchanged letters~~.		===Betrayal of Masyaf===
			By 1191, Jamal and the [[herald]] Masun had established contact with the [[Templars\|Templar Order]], having been won over by their cause.<ref name="Interrogation">''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[Interrogation (Masun)]]</ref> Operating as traitors within the Brotherhood, the pair utilized a local basket weaver to exchange letters and coordinate their activities. In July 1191, their role became pivotal when a Templar force led by [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Robert de Sablé]] [[Defense of Masyaf\|attacked the village]] in pursuit of the [[Apple of Eden 2\|Apple of Eden]]. To assist the invaders, Jamal provided Masun with the Templars' plans and instructed his accomplice to open the gates for the enemy.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[Eavesdropping (Masun)]]</ref><ref name="Pickpocketing">''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[Pickpocketing (Masun)]]</ref>

	~~In July~~, ~~their roles became especially pivotal~~ when ~~a Templar force under the command of~~ [[~~Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand~~ Master]] [[~~Robert de Sablé~~]] [[~~Defense of Masyaf\|invaded~~]] ~~Masyaf in pursuit~~ of ~~the~~ [[~~Apple of Eden 2\|Apple of Eden~~]] ~~lost to Assassin~~ [[~~Malik Al-Sayf~~]] at [[~~Solomon's Temple~~]]~~. To assist the Templars, Jamal personally sent~~ a ~~letter to Masun~~, ~~again through~~ the ~~basket weaver, ordering him to open~~ the ~~gates for~~ the ~~Templars to enter~~ the ~~village~~.		Despite the breach and subsequent casualties, the Templars were repelled when [[Master Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] triggered a trap, sending a cascade of logs rolling down to crush the enemy vanguard. In the aftermath of the defense, Altaïr was brought before Al Mualim, who stripped him of his rank and possessions for his arrogance at [[Solomon's Temple]] and for violating all three tenets of [[the Creed]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[Glory]]</ref> As a chance at redemption, the demoted Assassin was tasked with uncovering the identity of the traitor who had aided the invaders.<ref name="Knowledge">''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[Knowledge (Masun)]]</ref>

	~~Despite this critical act~~ and ~~the numerous casualties suffered by the Assassins~~, ~~the Templars were repelled thanks~~ to a ~~trap triggered by the [[Master Assassin]] [[~~Altaïr ~~Ibn-La'Ahad]] which collapsed giant wooden logs onto their army at~~ the ~~front~~ of the ~~fortress~~. ~~After the Templars had been driven from Masyaf~~, ~~Altaïr was demoted all the way~~ to ~~the rank of novice for the disastrous part he played at Solomon's Temple that had led to the battle~~ in the ~~first place. As~~ a ~~first step towards regaining~~ his ~~standing, he was ordered~~ to ~~seek out~~ the ~~Assassin traitor~~.		===Discovery and aftermath===
			The Brotherhood had already identified Masun's treachery, though his apprehension was delayed to serve as a reminder for Altaïr on the methods of the hunt.<ref name="Knowledge"/> During this period, Masun attempted to protect Jamal by hiding coin near a dead cypress tree in the village and writing a letter that urged his accomplice to flee to [[Damascus]] and lose himself among the populace until the scrutiny subsided.<ref name="Pickpocketing"/>

	~~Even before Altaïr~~ was ~~assigned this mission, Masun's treachery had already been discovered~~ by ~~the other Assassins~~. ~~However~~, ~~they delayed their arrest as a test~~ for ~~Altaïr~~. ~~In the meantime~~, Masun ~~left coins hiding near a dead cypress tree in the village~~ and ~~wrote a letter to~~ Jamal ~~urging~~ him ~~to take~~ the ~~money~~ and ~~flee~~ to ~~[[Damascus]] where he would be contacted again once~~ the ~~situation had stabilized~~.		Jamal never received the warning, as the letter was [[Pickpocketing\|pickpocketed]] from the basket weaver by Altaïr.<ref name="Pickpocketing"/> Consequently, Jamal remained at Masyaf while Masun was apprehended for publicly preaching against Al Mualim. During his subsequent interrogation, Masun yielded and identified Jamal as the accomplice who had informed him of the Templars' plans and instructed him to open the gate.<ref name="Interrogation"/>

	~~Jamal, however, never received this letter, as it was [[pickpocketing\|pickpocketed]] from the basket weaver by Altaïr not long after Masun handed it to him to discover the identity of~~ Masun's ~~accomplice. As a result~~, ~~he was still at Masyaf when Masun was captured publicly preaching against~~ Al Mualim and ~~subsequently executed~~. ~~In spite~~ of ~~Masun's expressed concern for Jamal's life in his letter~~, he had ~~revealed~~ to Altaïr ~~that~~ Jamal ~~was his accomplice when interrogated by~~ the Assassin.		Following Masun's execution, Al Mualim deferred judgment on Jamal, seeking to determine if the man had acted out of ignorance and fear or possessed a corrupted will. The Mentor noted that while those who acted out of ignorance could be saved, those with poisoned minds had to be destroyed.<ref name="Knowledge"/> As Altaïr departed Masyaf for Damascus to hunt [[Tamir]], he passed Jamal standing guard at the village outskirts, still posing as a loyal Assassin.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

	~~After Masun~~'~~s execution,~~ Al Mualim ~~determined that~~ Jamal's ~~arrest would not fall~~ to ~~Altaïr~~, who ~~would instead receive a different mission: to [[hunt for~~ the ~~nine\|kill~~ the ~~nine leaders~~ of the Templars~~]]. Despite Jamal~~'s ~~treachery~~, Al Mualim ~~was not above the possibility~~ of ~~granting him amnesty if it were discovered that~~ the traitor had ~~been manipulated by deception~~ or ~~threats. However, mercy~~ would ~~not be granted~~ if he ~~had acted with intentional malice or zealous support for the Templars. As Altaïr rode out from Masyaf to Damascus to assassinate [[Tamir]], he passed by Jamal standing at~~ his ~~post just outside the village in the [[Kingdom\|countryside]], still posing as an Assassin~~.		==Personality and traits==
			{{Quote\|Some do ill out of ignorance or fear. These men can be saved. Others suffer from corrupted wills, their minds poisoned and twisted. These men must be destroyed. Soon enough we'll know what sort of man Jamal is.\|Al Mualim questioning Jamal's motives\|Assassin's Creed\|Knowledge (Masun)}}
			Jamal was a calculating and deceptive individual who managed to maintain his standing within the Brotherhood while secretly serving the Templar Order. Unlike his accomplice Masun, who operated openly in the village, Jamal acted as the primary coordinator of the betrayal from within the fortress, providing the Templars' plans and instructing others to facilitate the enemy's entry.<ref name="Interrogation" /> His ability to mask his true allegiances allowed him to remain undetected even after the siege, continuing to pose as a loyal Assassin while his fate was being weighed by the Mentor. Al Mualim viewed Jamal's character through a lens of philosophical scrutiny, questioning whether the traitor had acted out of "ignorance or fear"—which would allow for his salvation—or if he possessed a "corrupted will" and a "poisoned" mind that necessitated his destruction.<ref name="Knowledge"/>
