| '''''The Secret Crusade''''' (Italian: ''La Crociata Segreta'') was the personal journal of [[Niccolò Polo]]; a detailed study on the life of the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]], [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]].

| ==History==
| |
| ===High Middle Ages===
| |
| In 1257, Niccolò and his brother [[Maffeo Polo]] were invited to stay at the Assassin Order's fortress of [[Masyaf]] in [[Syria]]. Having been visited by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's son [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad|Darim]] in their home in [[Constantinople]], they journeyed to Masyaf, were Niccolò had various discussions with Altaïr about the latter's life. As a result, Niccolò wrote these stories down in a journal, which ended up covering all key moments of Altaïr's life. The journal also acted as a sort of diary, giving details of the Polo brothers' actions during their stay in the village.<ref name="ACTSC">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade]]''</ref>

| ===Renaissance===
| |
| Niccolò intended to pass the journal to his son, [[Marco Polo|Marco]]. By 1511, the journal had come in the possession of [[Leandros]], a [[Byzantines|Byzantine]] [[Templars|Templar]] captain who was preoccupied with trying to open [[Altaïr's library]] hidden beneath Masyaf's fortress.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

| |
| The Mentor of the [[Italy|Italian]] Assassins, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], arrived in Masyaf in 1511, on a quest to enter the library as well. Learning from a common worker forced into serving the Templars that Leandros had the journal in his possession, Ezio sought Leandros out, and, after a long chase through Masyaf and a nearby village, Ezio was able to kill Leandros and obtain the journal.<ref name="ACR"/>

| Learning that the [[Keys of Altaïr|keys]] needed to open Altaïr's library were located in Constantinople after reading the journal, Ezio set out on a journey to Constantinople, while continuing to read the journal along the way.<ref name="ACR"/>
