- "Your deed is done...and so am I."
- ―Jubair to Altaïr's blade
Jubair al Hakim is one of the nine Al Mualim orders Altaïr to assassinate. He is found in the middle district of Damascus.
Description
Also known as the head of The Illuminated, Jubair Al Hakim is the Chief Scholar of Damascus. However, his view of literature seems to have become somewhat skewed. Rather than seeking knowledge, The Illuminated hunt down and burn all sources of written knowledge within Damascus, believing that such documents are the source of evils such as the war between the Saracens and the Crusaders.
Jubair al Hakim has disdain for the works of many writers such as Plato and Socrates. He is a ruthless man, with little tolerance towards any who oppose him. He believes that the illness of learning must be eliminated, because it simply fixes people, preventing them from finding their true calling.
Death
Jubair was publicly assassinated by Altair while conducting a book burning in a courtyard near the Madrasah Al-Kallasah. Altair had to track down the real Jubair between dozens of followers wearing the same uniform before finally killed him. Jubair was the third target to die in Damascus, and the eighth overall.
Final Words
Jubair: Why!? Why have you done this?!
Altaïr: Men must be free to do what they believe. It is not our right to punish one for thinking what they do, no matter how much we disagree!
Jubair: Then what?
Altaïr: You of all people should know the answer. Educate them, teach them right from wrong. It must be knowledge that frees them, not force.
Jubair: They do not learn, fixed in their ways as they are. You are naive to think otherwise. It's an illness, for which there is but one cure.
Altaïr: You're wrong, and that is why you must be put to rest.
Jubair: Am I not unlike those precious books you seek to save? A source of knowledge with which you disagree. Yet you are rather quick to steal my life.
Altaïr: A small sacrifice to save many. It is necessary.
Jubair: Is it not ancient scrolls that inspire the Crusaders, that fill Saladin and his men with a sense of righteous fury? Their texts endanger others, bring death in their wake. I too was making a small sacrifice. It matters little now: your deed is done...and so am I.
