Grappling hook
A grappling hook is a tool that consists of multiple hooks attached to a rope.
[expand a little on details?]
During the Third Crusade, the Assassins favored the device's versatility for their operations. Consequently in 1190, Rafik, the Keeper of Dasmascus gave a grappling hook to Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, suggesting that it would be useful should the young Assassin choose to travel by rooftop again. <-- inadequate ending for the sentence?
[it indeed proved useful in the slums because the buildings collapse?]
[when pursuing Fajera and the bridge collapsed Altaïr found it esp. useful for crossing the river ~ significant enough to mention?]
[he would continue to use it throughout his quest for the Chalice to swing himself across gaps he cannot jump]
[employed it as a way of pulling guards towards him. compare with Hookblade & rope dart?]

Nazim
Nazim (unknown - 1190) was a Templar crossbowman that participated in the Third Crusade.
In 1190, he was stationed in Tyre as part of the defense force for the Templar hospital. Alongside two Hospitalier soldiers, he was guarding the interior of a restricted building when he encountered the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, who had trespassed en route to the hospital. Though unaware of Altaïr's affiliation, the Crusaders nevertheless moved to apprehend the intruder, decrying him as a "shameless thief." Nazim had barely just received the order to arm his crossbow when Altaïr overpowered his group and killed them.
Trivia
Because the video game's levels are designed with improbable architecture, it is impossible to determine the function of the building where Nazim is encountered. The interior of this building consists of naught but a few platforms suspended above a bottomless abyss with disconnected beams for navigation. One side of the building's façade resembles that of a typical church, at least with regards to buttresses and arched windows, the other side lacks these features, which are replaced instead by a large platform that protrudes out over the street.
