{{Revamp}}
[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] had a '''personal sword''' that he used throughout ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'', and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]''. The blade's hilt is shaped like an eagle's wings, while the blade itself is both long and agile, making it a light and deadly weapon. The sword is apparently the weapon of choice for the guards at [[Masyaf]], and an all metal variation is available as a weapon in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''.
[[File:Sword of Altairpng.png|250px|thumb|The Sword of Altaïr]]
=== ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''===
The '''Sword of Altaïr''' was the personal [[sword]] of significant power wielded by [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] through much of his life as an [[Assassins|Assassin]].


Altaïr starts the game with the Syrian sword, with which he is very skilled with, until [[Al Mualim]] demotes him to [[Novice]] for breaking all three tenets of [[The Creed]]. This decreases his abilities greatly. During his progression back into the ranks, he starts off with a basic sword similar to this, though it does not have a cross guard. After he assassinates four targets, he gets the Sword of [[Altaïr]]. He uses this sword until the Syrian sword is returned to him.
During the [[Renaissance]] in [[Italy]] and [[Constantinople]], the Assassin [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], also made use of the weapon.


=== ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]'' ===
==Design==
Altaïr still possesses his sword during the events after ''Assassin's Creed'', in'' Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines''. In fact, his swords can be found hanging within [[Kantara Castle]]'s Great Hall (in [[Moloch|"The Bull"]] stage), as ornaments. During the game, this is the only sword that can be used. In the beginning, its attack power is quite low and enemies have to be hit with it multiple times to be killed. However, upgrades for the sword and other weapons of Altaïr can be purchased by collecting Templar coins.[[File:AltairsSword.png|thumb|left|200px|Altaïr equipping his sword.]]
The sword was forged from a smooth, silver metal, with its cross guard shaped like an [[eagle]]'s wings, and the pommel in the motif of an eagle's head. Along with this, the sword's hilt was wrapped in strong, dark brown leather for gripping, and it was also stored in a leather scabbard, although this was only used by [[Masyaf]] [[Soldier|guards]] and Altaïr himself.


=== ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' ===
==History==
Altaïr's sword is available in the [[Monteriggioni]] [[blacksmith]] for 50,000ƒ (or less if the store has been renovated) after DNA Sequence 8. This sword is one of the most powerful melee weapons, as all three stats are maxed out. It is interesting to note that the picture of the weapon's hilt in the blacksmith has a leather-wrapped hilt, however the weapon itself does not have this leather wrapping.
===High Middle Ages===
[[File:New regime 14.png|thumb|left|250px|Altaïr wielding his sword in combat]]
Altaïr made good use of his sword throughout most of his early life as an Assassin. He wielded it with great skill and ease during missions such as the [[quest for the Chalice]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]''</ref>


[[File:Altairsword1.png|thumb|left|200px|Ezio using his ancestor's sword.]]
By 1191, Altaïr had reached the [[Assassin rank|rank]] of [[Master Assassin]] and he instead made use of a [[Syrian Sabre|Syrian sword]] with a curved blade and a golden hilt. However, this sword was taken from him, along with his armor, other weapons and status after [[Al Mualim]] demoted him to the rank of [[novice]] for breaking all three tenets of [[the Creed]].<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>


===''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''===
During his progression back into the higher ranks, Altaïr started with a basic sword similar to his personal one, though it lacked a cross guard. After he assassinated the first four of his [[Hunt for the Nine|nine assigned targets]], another sword, this time with the cross guard shaped like an eagle's wings, was granted to him until finally, upon the seventh target, his personal sword was returned to him. The leather grip instead was replaced by a silver and light grey color with a tribal design. Altaïr used his sword once more in his battles until he finally rose again to the rank of Master Assassin, and the Syrian sword was awarded to him again.<ref name="AC" />
From the GamesCom 2010 footage of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', Ezio can be seen wielding the Sword of Altaïr while in Rome, meaning that either the sword survived the [[Siege of Monteriggioni]], or that he is wielding a replica. Additionally, as it was said that ''Brotherhood'' will take place right after ''Assassin's Creed II ''(as well as due to the inclusion of footage of Ezio in the [[Vault]] in ''Brotherhood'' videos), Ezio may continue to wield the sword in the beginning of the game, as he makes his way back home from Rome. Also, in one of the more recent screenshots, Assassin Apprentices can be seen wielding the sword.


== Trivia ==
===Renaissance===
*It is unknown why the sword is available from the Monteriggioni blacksmith, since the sword (being [[Altaïr]]'s personal weapon) would be assumed to be available together with his [[Altaïr's armor|armor]] once it was unlocked. However, a possible cause is that the sword had been lost along with the [[Codex]], and was later found and sold to the blacksmith.
[[File:In Bocca Al Lupo 19.png|thumb|250px|Ezio with the Armor and Sword of Altaïr]]
*The sword in the game is shorter compared to the other [[Swords and maces|longswords]] [[Ezio]] can use; the entire sword being only a little longer than the length of his arm. Despite this, Altaïr's sword is the strongest weapon available.
During the Renaissance, Ezio Auditore was able to purchase Altaïr's sword from the [[blacksmith]] in [[Monteriggioni]] for 45,000 [[florin]]s. He made good use of the weapon in his battles, especially during his fight with [[Rodrigo Borgia]] in the [[Sistine Chapel]] in [[Rome]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>
*Strangely, though Altaïr's sword is considered the best sword in the second game, in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', the [[Syrian sword]] (which in ''Assassin's Creed II'' was among the cheapest weapons) was the best sword.


*It is possible, however, that Altaïr made a new sword, likely out of the same metal as the [[Altaïr's armor|Armor of Altaïr]]. This would have made the sword more durable, and perhaps more resistant to aging, unlike the Syrian sword. However, a few facts make this theory less likely; for one, the metal used in the Armor of Altaïr is golden in color, while the Sword of Altaïr is silver. Also, Altaïr mentions in the Codex that one of the virtues of the metal he used in his new armor was that it was very light. While this would be a desirable trait in the ''armor'' of an [[Assassin]], since it would permit easier movement, it is not necessarily desirable in a ''sword'', which are made successful in blocking incoming attacks by and deliver more powerful blows because of the weight of the metal in the blade. A very light blade, after all, is much easier for an assailant to knock away or a defender to block than a heavier blade. Furthermore, there would be little need for Altaïr to use the golden metal in his ''weaponry'', since his enemies did not now how to duplicate this metal and whose armor would still be easily penetrable with weaponry made from the more commonplace steel. Finally, Altaïr also mentions in the Codex that he feared the knowledge of this new metal and how to obtain and work it falling into the wrong hands. With this in mind, it would have been inadvisable for him to create held ''weaponry'', which is far more easily lost in battle than ''armor ''attached to the user's body by straps or other means.
Ezio kept the sword with him and used it to fight off [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] guards as he escaped the [[Vaticano District|Vatican]] with his uncle [[Mario Auditore]]. After they returned to Monteriggioni, the Borgia [[Siege of Monteriggioni|attacked the town]], and the sword was lost in the resulting turmoil, along with [[Armor of Altaïr|Altaïr's armor]] and Ezio's weapons that were fashioned from the [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex|Codex]] designs by [[Leonardo da Vinci]].<ref name="ACB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
*In the codex released with Assassins Creed : Brotherhood, Altaïr talks about strong poison, and says that : "The blade must be forged quarry following theese instructions. Otherwise cracks could generate in the metal, with the risk of making the blade fragile or of breaking it.". It explains that the sword has been reforged following the knowlege that Altaïr got from the Apple, making it much better that the older one.
 
*It is interesting to note that in later memory sequences of ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', if the player has the sword equipped, it can quite possibly be knocked away from Ezio by [[Brute]] guards. It can, however, be re-equipped in the [[Auditore Villa|Villa]] if it is lost.
Some time after establishing the [[Assassins Guild]] in Rome, Ezio was able to recover the sword once again after completing all five [[Guild challenges (Brotherhood)#Assassins Guild|Guild challenges]], although it is possible his [[Assassin apprentice|recruits]] retrieved it for him. Equipped with the sword, Ezio wielded it against [[Cesare Borgia]] and his forces during the [[siege of Viana]].<ref name="ACB" />
*There is a glitch in the Xbox 360 and PS3 version which automatically replaces this sword with the "Common Sword" in Ezio's inventory after it is bought. To fix this, you will have to go to the weapon room in the [[Villa Auditore|Villa]] and manually equip Altaïr's sword again.

Although he did not bring it with him on his expedition to Masyaf, Ezio eventually acquired the weapon yet again some time after he had allied himself with the [[Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins|Ottoman Assassins]] in [[Constantinople]]. The sword became available once he had completed the third series of the [[Guild challenges]], again, possibly due to him having his recruits retrieve it.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service?

This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

The Sword of Altaïr

The Sword of Altaïr was the personal sword of significant power wielded by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad through much of his life as an Assassin.

During the Renaissance in Italy and Constantinople, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, also made use of the weapon.

Design[edit | edit source]

The sword was forged from a smooth, silver metal, with its cross guard shaped like an eagle's wings, and the pommel in the motif of an eagle's head. Along with this, the sword's hilt was wrapped in strong, dark brown leather for gripping, and it was also stored in a leather scabbard, although this was only used by Masyaf guards and Altaïr himself.

History[edit | edit source]

High Middle Ages[edit | edit source]

Altaïr wielding his sword in combat

Altaïr made good use of his sword throughout most of his early life as an Assassin. He wielded it with great skill and ease during missions such as the quest for the Chalice.[1]

By 1191, Altaïr had reached the rank of Master Assassin and he instead made use of a Syrian sword with a curved blade and a golden hilt. However, this sword was taken from him, along with his armor, other weapons and status after Al Mualim demoted him to the rank of novice for breaking all three tenets of the Creed.[2]

During his progression back into the higher ranks, Altaïr started with a basic sword similar to his personal one, though it lacked a cross guard. After he assassinated the first four of his nine assigned targets, another sword, this time with the cross guard shaped like an eagle's wings, was granted to him until finally, upon the seventh target, his personal sword was returned to him. The leather grip instead was replaced by a silver and light grey color with a tribal design. Altaïr used his sword once more in his battles until he finally rose again to the rank of Master Assassin, and the Syrian sword was awarded to him again.[2]

Renaissance[edit | edit source]

Ezio with the Armor and Sword of Altaïr

During the Renaissance, Ezio Auditore was able to purchase Altaïr's sword from the blacksmith in Monteriggioni for 45,000 florins. He made good use of the weapon in his battles, especially during his fight with Rodrigo Borgia in the Sistine Chapel in Rome.[3]

Ezio kept the sword with him and used it to fight off Borgia guards as he escaped the Vatican with his uncle Mario Auditore. After they returned to Monteriggioni, the Borgia attacked the town, and the sword was lost in the resulting turmoil, along with Altaïr's armor and Ezio's weapons that were fashioned from the Codex designs by Leonardo da Vinci.[4]

Some time after establishing the Assassins Guild in Rome, Ezio was able to recover the sword once again after completing all five Guild challenges, although it is possible his recruits retrieved it for him. Equipped with the sword, Ezio wielded it against Cesare Borgia and his forces during the siege of Viana.[4]

Although he did not bring it with him on his expedition to Masyaf, Ezio eventually acquired the weapon yet again some time after he had allied himself with the Ottoman Assassins in Constantinople. The sword became available once he had completed the third series of the Guild challenges, again, possibly due to him having his recruits retrieve it.[5]

18th century[edit | edit source]

In the early 18th century, Edward Kenway found a pair of identical swords at some point during his time sailing in the Caribbean.[6] One sword and a similarly styled dagger ended up in the hands of Templar Shay Cormac in mid 18th century. He recovered it from a chest in the North Atlantic after his fleet had successfully carried out all missions set by him.[7]
