Sef Ibn-La'Ahad (1197 – c. 1226) was a member of the Levantine Assassins, the youngest of the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and Maria Thorpe's sons, and Darim Ibn-La'Ahad's brother.[1] He is also an ancestor of Desmond Miles, through the maternal line.[2]

Biography

Life in Masyaf

Sef was conceived atop Acre Citadel during a rendezvous between the former Knight Templar Maria and Altaïr.[3] Like his father and brother, Sef was raised in the Assassin tradition. He got married while still quite young.[1]

In 1217, Altaïr, Maria, and Darim left for Mongolia to assassinate Genghis Khan, though Sef elected to remain in Masyaf to take care of his wife and two daughters. Eight years later, the Assassin Abbas Sofian staged a coup of the Order for his own benefit.[1] As part of his coup, Abbas had his spy Swami, a feeble-minded apprentice, stab Sef to death in his own bed.[1] Swami told Sef just before carrying out the act that Altaïr had ordered the execution; Sef died believing his own father had betrayed him.[4]

Legacy

Abbas later threw the Order's interim leader Malik Al-Sayf into the fortress' dungeons and framed him for Sef's murder. Two years after this, Altaïr, Maria, and Darim returned, having killed Genghis Khan, in order to learn what had transpired during their absence. Unknowingly fed false information, Darim rode for Alamut to seek out his brother.[1]

Altaïr and Maria eventually learned the truth from Malik, whom Swami executed shortly after they left.[1] This led to a confrontation with Abbas and Swami, where Altaïr tried to exact revenge by using his Apple of Eden to force Swami to kill himself. However, when Maria tried to stop her husband, Swami regained enough control of himself to fatally stab her from behind. After Altaïr killed Swami in turn, he fled Masyaf with Darim, whom he informed of the truth regarding his brother's death and now his mother's demise.[4]

After his death, Sef's family lived in Alamut along with his father and brother for a short period of time before they moved to Alexandria, Egypt, driven away by Altaïr's depressed obsession over the Apple of Eden.[1] In 1257, prior to Masyaf's fall to the Mongols, a dying Altaïr urged Darim to join his late brother's family and live well. Darim did so, settling down with his widowed sister-in-law and nieces in Alexandria.[5]

In 2013, Abstergo Entertainment's upper management made mention of Sef's children and their extended families in 13th-century Egypt in an internal e-mail chain, in which they discussed other potential candidates for the Sample 17 Project to explore.[6]

Trivia
