Biography
Teutonic Leader
- "I followed my orders, believing in my cause, same as you."
- ―Sibrand to Altaïr[src]
By 1191, Sibrand had become the Grand Master of the Knights Teutonic. Having obtained this position of great power, Sibrand was desperate to keep in charge and would do anything to prevent his power from slipping away. As he was incapable to secure his position, Sibrand became plagued by ideas of conspiracies and plots against him, so much that he often doubled the patrols and even threatened to pull knights from battle to protect him.
He consistently looked around, searching for signs of trouble. He took control of the docks in the city of Acre, where he also acquired the services of many ships. He planned to use these ships to form a blockade that would prevent the "fool" Kings and Queens from sending aid once the Templars initiated their plan to take control of the Holy Land. Sibrand joined the Templars and was one of the men that guarded the Apple's secrets and capabilities.
Death
- "Nothing. Nothing waits... and that is what I fear."
- ―Sibrand[src]
Having locked himself away in Acre's docks, Sibrand waited to play his part in the "liberation" of the Holy Land. The Assassin, Altaïr, started his investigation into Sibrand, and soon noticed him scolding two guards, threatening to double their shifts if they would not get back to their posts.
Altaïr then set out to the docks, only to find Sibrand abusing and tormenting a scholar in front of a group of civilians, accusing him of being an Assassin. After taunting and eventually killing the scholar, Sibrand warned the citizens not to aid the Assassins. Sibrand then donned his horned helmet, and set off for his personal ship, not knowing that Altaïr was navigating his way through the docks, and towards his ship. Altaïr soon heard the Templar shouting that he would take care of the Assassins himself if no one else would. Altaïr stealthily climbed aboard the ship and put an end to Sibrand's life. With his last breath, Sibrand explained to Altaïr his role assigned to him by the Brotherhood, he continued to say how he had proof that nothing waited for him after this life. Having told the Assassin all he knew, Sibrand perished.
Personality and characteristics
When he was appointed as the Grand Master of the Teutonics, Sibrand had been a fierce man, who never failed to strike fear to the crowds. He was both a skilled swordsman and archer, making him a dangerous opponent. However, as he witnessed more of his Templar brothers dying, he became paranoid and cowardly.
His paranoia became such a burden to him that he doubled the patrols in his district and even killed men, simply for wearing clothes that were similar to the Assassin's garments. Sibrand always kept a keen eye on the crowds surrounding him, always expecting an Assassin to emerge from them.
Like his fellow Templars, Sibrand did not believe in a God or an afterlife, claiming that the Piece of Eden had been proof. He feared death, knowing that there was nothing to await him once he passed away.
Final words
- Sibrand: Please, don't do this!
- Altaïr: You are afraid...
- Sibrand: Of course I am afraid!
- Altaïr: But you'll be safe now, held in the arms of your god.
- Sibrand: Have my brothers taught you nothing!? I know what waits for me, for all of us!
- Altaïr: If not your god, then what?
- Sibrand: Nothing. Nothing waits... and that is what I fear.
- Altaïr: You don't believe?
- Sibrand: How could I, given what I know? What I've seen? Our treasure was the proof!
- Altaïr: Proof of what?
- Sibrand: That this life is all we have!
- Altaïr: Linger a while longer then, and tell me of the part you were to play.
- Sibrand: A blockade by sea, to keep the fool kings and queens from sending reinforcements once we... once we...
- Altaïr: Conquered the Holy Land!?
- Sibrand: Freed it, you fool, from the tyranny of faith!
- Altaïr: Freedom!? You worked to overthrow cities, control men's minds, murdered any who spoke against you!
- Sibrand: I followed my orders, believing in my cause, same as you.
Trivia
- Like Garnier and Robert, Sibrand was a real-life leader of the Knights Teutonic. The Teutonic Order was governed by a "Meister Sibrand" between 1190 and 1192.
- An in-game glitch can be found during Sibrand's assassination. To perform it, Sibrand must not be aware of your presence. When he is randomly shooting arrows on the front of his ship, approach and throw him against the side of the boat. Sibrand will fall off his ship and into the water. You will then fail the mission, supposedly because your target escaped.
- A second glitch may occur when Sibrand is at the front of the ship shooting his arrows and shouting, where he may not be wearing his helmet which he put on after killing the scholar.
- Another in-game glitch involving Sibrand takes place in the final memory, when you face the "clones" of your assassination victims, "Sibrand" will speak with a somewhat muffled voice as if he was wearing his helmet, although he does not.
- Sibrand is the only target in Assassin's Creed that you can see during an investigation, though he disappears once the cut-scene has finished.
- Like Talal in Jerusalem and Jubair in Damascus, vigilantes will attempt to stop Sibrand if he tries to escape from the docks.
