Biography[edit | edit source]
Assault on Masyaf[edit | edit source]
In 1189, Haras betrayed the Assassin Order and led an army of Templars to attack the Assassins' fortress of Masyaf. During the assault many Assassins were killed, and their Mentor, Al Mualim, was captured. Arriving back at Masyaf, the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad fought his way through the village and confronted Haras, who then threatened Altaïr with the death of Al Mualim.[1]
Promptly retreating to the now Templar-occupied fortress, Haras proceeded to execute the remaining Assassin hostages Vahid Ahmedi, Raşit El Zübeydi, and Fahd El Fehmi with his crossbow. Altaïr, who was locked outside the fortress by a portcullis gate, promptly scaled its walls and assassinated Haras.[1]
As he died, Haras continued to defy the Assassins, claiming that the Templars knew the truth about humanity and that the Assassin's Creed was wrong. Soon after, Haras passed away, his beliefs unchanged despite Altaïr's words.[1]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
In 2014, the Master Templar Juhani Otso Berg acknowledged Haras' betrayal of the Assassins and believed that his defection was a sign that there would always be Assassins willing to abandon their cause and serve the Templars.[2]
Personality and traits[edit | edit source]
According to Altaïr's suspicions, Haras was a man who sought the easy route instead of rightfully earning his place. He also had a reputation for being chameleon-like in combat, and could adapt his personality to suit others in order to find out their secrets.[3]
Haras has an unquestionable loyalty to the Templar Order, saying that they know the truth about humanity and was willing to murder Al Mualim for his master if he could not get the answers for the 'artifact' he seeks.
