He also says that [[Al Mualim]] is a madman because he opposes this idea.

Masun and another [[Assassins|Assassin]] named [[Jamal]] were the traitors who let the Templars in to Masyaf with the help of the basket-weaver in the village. The basket-weaver delivered letters for Jamal and Masun. Altaïr [[Pickpocketing|pickpockets]] one of the letters in "The Traitor" memory. Then he brings Masun before his master. Al Mualim offers him a chance to repent, but Masun refuses. Al Mualim then kills him. He then says he will speak with Jamal and decide if he is simply misguided and can be saved, or if Jamal's will has been corrupted by the Templars' propaganda. It was originally an assassination mission to kill Jamal, but instead he was added as an [[Easter Eggs|Easter egg]] in the [[Kingdom]], just outside Masyaf. He can only be identified through [[Eagle Vision]].

Interrogating Masun in a secluded area, Altaïr found out about his allegiance to the Templars. Bringing the traitor back to Al Mualim, Masun was given a final chance to repent. However the man remained defiant, and ultimately, the Grand Master had no choice but to execute him.
