However, Umar was discovered and was forced to kill an Ayyubid noble. The next morning, Saladin sent his uncle Shihab Al'din to make peace with the Assassins, in exchange for taking Umar's life, whose identity they had uncovered by torturing the Assassin Ahmad Sofian. Umar volunteered to have his life taken, and the Ayyubid government and the Assassins maintained several years of relative peace.[2]

In 1191, after the Templars' Grand Master Robert de Sablé recruited several key figures in both the Crusader and Saracen armies, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad was sent by Al Mualim to kill them, disrupting the peace between the Assassins and the Ayyubid dynasty.
