{{Revamp}}
Throughout the events of ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'', and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines|Assassin's Creed: Bloodline]]'', the [[Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] wielded a '''personal sword''' of superior power compared to all other weapons. The sword continues its appearence in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', where it is named, the "Sword of Altaïr". However, it is now used by [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], a descendant of Altaïr. The blade's guard is shaped like an eagle's wings and the bottom of the hilt has the shape of an eagle's head, while the blade itself is both long and agile, making it a light and deadly weapon.
[[File:Sword of Altairpng.png|250px|thumb|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 [[Assassins|Assassin]].


==''Assassin's Creed''==
During the [[Renaissance]] in [[Italy]] and [[Constantinople]], the Assassin [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], also made use of the weapon.
[[File:AltairsSword.png|thumb|left|215px|Altaïr equipping his sword.]]
The game starts with Altaïr using the Syrian [[sword]], which he uses with great skill and ease, until [[Al Mualim]] demotes him to [[Novice]] for breaking all three tenets of [[The Creed]]. During his progression back into the higher ranks, he starts off with a basic sword similar to the Sword of Altaïr, though it does not have a cross guard. After he assassinates his four assigned targets, he is granted the use of his personal sword once more. He continues to uses this sword until he is finally given the Syrian sword.


==''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 now be found hanging within [[Kantara Castle]]'s Great Hall (in "[[Moloch|The Bull]]" stage), as ornaments. During the game, this is the only sword available for his use. In the beginning, its attack power is rather low, and enemies have to be struck with it multiple times to be killed. However, upgrades for the sword and other weapons of Altaïr can be purchased by collecting [[Templars|Templar]] coins.
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==
[[File:Altairsword1.png|thumb|right|190px|Ezio using his ancestor's sword.]]
===High Middle Ages===
Altaïr's Sword is available at the [[Monteriggioni]] [[blacksmith]] for 50,000ƒ (or less if the store has been renovated) after DNA Sequence 8. This sword is the most powerful melee weapon, as all three stats are maxed out. Ezio wielded this sword when he fought [[Rodrigo Borgia]] in the [[Vatican Vault|Vault]].
[[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>


==''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''==
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>
[[File:ACBSwordAltaïr.jpg|thumb|295px|left|The Sword of Altaïr in the [[Animus]] menu screen.]]
Since ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' takes place directly after ''Assassin's Creed II,'' [[Ezio Auditore]] was still wielding the sword while he made his escape from the [[Vatican Vault]] into [[Rome]] with his uncle [[Mario Auditore|Mario]]. During the [[Siege of Monteriggioni]], a cannon ball was shot through his room. As he was sleeping with [[Caterina Sforza]] at the time, he was unable to re-equip it, along with most of his armor and other weapons. However, he can re-acquire it by completing all five Assassin's [[Guild Challenges|Guild Challenges.]]


==Trivia==
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" />
*The [[guards]] at [[Masyaf]] are seen wielding this sword.
 
*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 [[Altaïr's armor|his armor]] once it was unlocked.
===Renaissance===
*It is interesting to note that the picture of the weapon's hilt in the blacksmith is wrapped in leather, however, the weapon itself does not have any leather wrapping.
[[File:In Bocca Al Lupo 19.png|thumb|250px|Ezio with the Armor and Sword of Altaïr]]
*After buying the sword, it may occasionally be replaced with the common sword. To properly acquire it if this occurs, simply go to the [[Auditore Villa|Villa]]'s weapon rack, and re-equip it.
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>
*After doing the training exercise in Monteriggioni, ''Picking Up Weapons'', Ezio's sword automatically falls from it's sheath. Using this, then re-equipping the sword from the weapons rack, results in two Swords of Altaïr.
 
*The swords appearance is slightly altered in ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', with the handle turning from bronzed color, to completely silver.
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>
*This sword is shorter compared to the other longswords Ezio can use, with the entire sword being only a little longer than the length of his arm. Despite this, Altaïr's sword is still the strongest weapon available.
 
*Strangely, though Altaïr's sword is considered the best sword in ''Assassin's Creed II ''and ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', in ''Assassin's Creed'', the Syrian sword (which in ''Assassin's Creed II'' was among the cheapest weapons) was the best sword.
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" />
*It is interesting to note that in later memory sequences, if the player has the sword equipped, it is possible to be knocked out of Ezio's hands by [[Brute]] guards, and even picked up by an NPC. It can, however, be re-equipped in the Villa or the [[Tiber Island Hideout]], depending on which game is being played.
 
*The sword appears on a weapon rack in the Tiber Island Hideout once Ezio completes all five [[Guild Challenges|Assassin's Guild challenges]], and can only be equipped from there. Just as it did in ''Assassin's Creed II'', it has maximum damage, speed, and deflect stats.
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>
*Assassin [[Apprentices]] are able to use this sword once they reach the final rank of ''Assassino'', however for them, it is called the ''Assassin Sword''.
 
*During the memory [[Follow The Money|Follow the Money]], in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', Ezio kills and impersonates a guard named Luigi in order reach, and infiltrate, [[Juan Borgia the Elder]]'s [[Incident at the Pagan Party|party]] to assassinate him, when a fellow guard draws and raises the Sword of Altaïr to "convince" the senate to hand the chest to Luigi. This is rather unusual, and unclear if intentional or rendered accidentally by the developers.

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]
