Talal

One of the nine people Al Mualim wants Altair to assassinate, Talal is a slave trader in the city of Jerusalem, located within its rich district.

Description

Talal is one of Jerusalem's most feared criminals. He operates a large slave ring, which is for some reason easily ignored by the city's guards, however it can be reasoned that, as Talal is in secret a Templar and thus allied with Majd Addin, who in turn would order the guards to ignor Talal's works. He captures the mad and the diseased, and then sells them off as slaves. He also has a large band of henchmen thugs who follow his commands.

Talal is quick-witted, agile, and an expert marksman. He can outrun most men with ease, and is very proud of his own acrobatic prowess. He also finds humor in many things, and is especially fond of taunting his enemies before killing them.

Death

Talal is publicly assassinated at the hands of Altair, after the assassin tracked his movements within the rich district before discovering him within his slave warehouse and then killed him during an agile chase through the streets of Jerusalem. As Talal prepared an arrow for his bow Altair quickly closes the gap between himself and his intended political target. As the white robed assassin rapidly approached him Talal made a hasty run for it but was quickly stopped due to the Hidden Blade being forcefully introduced to one of his vital spots. Talals death marks the third recent public figure assassination and the first within Jerusalem.

Trivia

Talal was also featured in the E3 2007 gameplay trailer, where Altair infiltrated the slave trader's den, before chasing and killing Talal.
