History
In 1191, the Master Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, as well as the brothers Malik and Kadar Al-Sayf were sent to the temple to retrieve the Apple of Eden, which was contained within the Ark. During the mission, Altaïr broke all three tenets of the Creed, particularly in his foolish attempts to kill Robert de Sable, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, who had also ventured to the temple to obtain the Apple of Eden for himself.
This failure on Altaïr's part cost the Assassins a great deal: Kadar was killed, Malik was severely injured, and the Templar forces were compelled to attack the Assassin fortress of Masyaf. Nevertheless, Malik was eventually able to deliver the Apple to Al Mualim, who kept it safe in the fortress library.
