[[Altaïr]] breaks all three tenets of the "Assassins Creed", during an extremely important mission in Jerusalem, and in the process was stripped of all his rank, weapons, honor, and dealt a timely blow to his overconfident ego, all after being appointed to "novice" or student within the Assassins Order. Altair was still granted access to his scholar robe field uniform. Showing how he had become a student of the entire order and in the process was meant to learn the true meaning of the "Assassins Creed". After being demoted Altair is told by his master that he must earn his way back into the Brotherhood by proving to him that he knew how to be an assassin, by locating a traitor of Masyaf and presenting him before the Assassins Order for questioning. Through instruction from one of the Assassins Brotherhood informers ( the Brotherhoods true and official trackers of major city officials, they maintain close watch over the actions of the official and report to the Assassins Bureau Leader)Altair applied his knowledge of tracking his targets by beggining his search. Successful of his investigation Altair earns his rights into the Order once again. Al Mualim proceeds with offering him his true mission of redemption, in hopes he may draw upon the way truly lived by the assassins due to their strict Creed. But it is the philosophical teachings of the "Assassins Creed", that Altair begins to adhere to, during his search towards inner peace, but also wisdom and guides him away from at first arrogance,impatience, and self pride to becoming a more calm,patient,listening,subtle demeanor possessing Assassin becoming that much wiser, focused....and lethal. As Altair publicly assassinates targets of the List of Nine and listens to their perspective and philosophy that their actions were based upon, sees how three simple tenets of the "Creed" commands the assasins of great wisdom and to never put ones self above others in any situation.

The Tenets of the Assassin's Creed are the rules the Assassins Order strictly lives by:

  1. Stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent.
  2. Hide in plain sight.
  3. Never compromise the Brotherhood.

During an extremely important mission at Solomon's Temple, Altaïr breaks all three tenets, and fails the mission. The Templar Treasure seemed lost forever- until a direly wounded Malik showed up with it.

Believing that the failure was caused by his breaking of the Tenets, Al Mualim strips Altaïr of all his weapons and equipment, demoting him to Novice rank. Altaïr will have to earn his way back to the top of the order.

First tenet: Stay your blade from the flesh of the innocent.

Simply put: do not hurt innocent people. The Assassins' goal is one of peace. Their mission is to slay only despots and tyrannical leaders- those who deserve it.

If the player makes Altaïr break this Tenet (hurt or kill innocent people) a hefty chunk of Synchronization is lost.

Second tenet: Hide in plain sight.

"Let the people mask you such that you become one with the crowd."

− Al Mualim

Be discreet- do not draw attention to yourself unless necessary. Use low profile actions when possible, blend with the people, take advantage of Scholars.

Third tenet: Never compromise the Brotherhood.

This Tenet is simple. Your actions must never come to harm the Brotherhood, direct or indirect.
