The story of the novel is laid out, by the narration of both characters. It start with Desmond escaping Abstergo in the year 2012, while it later skips to Altaïr on an assassination mission in the year 1191. Both their side of the story was in synchronized with each other.

Speak sense, Templar, or not at all!

This article, or article section, is non-canon. Although licensed by Ubisoft or their affiliates, the information that follows is not considered a part of the Assassin's Creed timeline.

Assassin's Creed is a non-canonical, sixteen-page graphic novel that was included as promotional material in the Limited Edition[1] of Assassin's Creed and later distributed to EB Games store managers in 2007 to promote the game.[2][3] The story served as a prelude to the game and introduced its protagonists by telling overlapping stories of the Levantine Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad during the Third Crusade and Desmond Miles in 2012.

Plot summary[edit | edit source]

Desmond runs outside Abstergo Industries' facility in Rome. A security guard checks a hallway and is distracted by a noise in the ventilation ducts. He investigates but finds nothing and reports back to operations, unaware that Desmond has climbed into and crouches in a shaft above and behind him. Desmond continues on, sneaking behind Dr. Warren Vidic and other suited Templars back into the Animus Project laboratory where he was held.

He enters the unlit room and the doors close. Desmond approaches the dormant Animus 1.28 and runs a finger along it, enough physical contact for the machine to turn back on and make him experience a memory of Altaïr in 1191 hunting Templars in Acre while searching for their Grand Master, Robert de Sablé.

Desmond synchronizes with Altaïr's memories but is interrupted when the Templars open the lab doors and spot him. Back in Acre, Altaïr is also spotted after killing a guard and is chased down an alley, where he fights his pursuers in close-combat. Although both men get cornered in dead ends, with Altaïr standing alone and victorious in his lethal brawl while Desmond resolves to fight his way out, they affirm to themselves that they are Assassins.
