Desmond also has a scar on his mouth. Look closer.

Pronunciation

How do you pronounce his LAST name?

How do you pronounce his name?-- 02:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

It is pronounced like "all-tie-ear".

Isn't it pronounced as "All-tha-ear"? It has even come to my attention that some characters in the game pronounce it as "All-Tha-Air". It depends on the character I think. Desmond seems to pronounce it more with "ear" in the back, while some Arabic characters, pronounce it with "air" in the end. Though I don't think Al Mualim does.

Just a suggestion but I feel this article is too jumbled up. Some one should break it up into introduction or background, assassin creed 1 plot, assassin creed: AC plot and relationship.

when does Altiar use a crossbow? FireWolf⁽⁷⁸⁷⁾ 05:07, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

He doesn't. I think him using it in the opening movie was probably cut content or just a conception.

What about the PC version. I haven't completed it and didn't see a crossbow either except in the introduction. So it's all a lie that you can use it in the director's cut?

Fanwank alert!

Can someone purge the fanwank out of the page?It stinks of copypaste.Wikiastalker 20:16, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I Think...

i think that l4d (left 4 dead) used the model of altair for the hunter commonly found pouncing and clawing

Randomnutjob: There's a slight problem with that theory. Ubisoft didn't publish -or- develop L4D! Valve published L4D, and Turtle Rock Studios developed it. Whereas Ubisoft Montreal developed AC1 and it was released under the general Ubisoft label. A hoodie covering the face is an extremely generic version of an even more generic 'disguise' (technically a face obscuring piece of apparel)

biography

A biography should be a story of a person's life, and in the biography section there are many facts that altair did not know at the time. Such as his master not telling him about the tenth, and the fact that he was being used in a genetic project to take over the world. I suggest that we take those out. Also, Altair's Chronicles is a prequel, it should go before AC1.

If you think you can make this article better somehow, go ahead then! ^^ And I suggest you should create an account first =D - SilverSummoner^TaLk 15:47, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that there was nothing about Altair's deeds in Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles, so I added the section into his biography. Master Mold 14:49, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

After reading a bit furher, I noticed that the biography section is actually quite messed up... I think it should be eventually split into his actual deeds and story (biography) and into another section titled "Skills \ abilities". I might someday do it myself but not until I finish the game :) Master Mold 14:55, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Guys, maybe someone/someones could take the part that talks about Altaïr shadow and name and such and put it under a "behind the scenes" or trivia section? Also, what you think about adding a link to the targets he kills, either by a list or by adding in the biography section through the text per se? -- D. Cello 02:49, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

Stop vandalizing the page!

I just understood that recently someone deleted the info form the Bloodlines, Legacy and Altair's Chronicles sections... Whatta? I now agree that some information from the AC:AC section I put may be not enough... correct. But Bloodlines and Legacy... why deleting it? Thanks to Jasca Ducato, who returned everything back into its place. Master Mold 20:06, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Relationship with Maria Thorpe

It was not mentioned clearly if he married her, but it is confirmed from Assassin's Creed II that they were life partners and lovers. So I dismissed the title of wife and kept it neutral to life partner PassiveNeoluna 22:13, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Profile Pic

PLEASE leave it as it is i like this pic better as we can actually see a good pic with his face--RexGodwin 01:18, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'll talk to this with DCello for your picture to be placed, before you change it. This is an important article, so important changes should be discussed first. --Altaïr March 10, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Altair, the picture you suggested, Rex, diminishes the quality of the article. The other looks more professional as it is a HD promo shot - Maria Thorpe Mar 10 2010 (UTC)

i have no idea what your talking abut, this pic has quite good quality, and the ither one is a crappy small picture where most of his face is obscured i don't see whats so great about full-body shots especially if they suck :P

Well another reason to keep the full body-shot is, because Ezio's profile, also uses a full body-shot very similar to Altaïr's profile. That makes the articles more identical in shape. --Altaïr March 10, 2010 (UTC)
