== The Name ==
Take it from me, an Arabic speaker by birth. The meaning of the name "Saladin" or "Salah Al'din" has always been controversial. صلاح الدين الايوبي. "The Ayyoubid, Righteousness of the Faith" is the exact meaning of his name where "Salah" with a heavier "h" sound means "Good" or "Usefulness" in general. However "Din" دين actually pronounced "Deen" means "Religion" or "Faith". Plus he is a follower of the Ayyoubid sect of Islam. So together you get "Salah Al-Deen al-Ayyoubi", add a little mistakes in pronounciation and English mother tongue interference you get "Saladin The Ayyoubid" short "Saladin".

Concept Art

Where is this concept art mentioned in the trivia section? Anyone got a copy of it? --WarClownWanna Talk? 10:12, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think I got it, it's on the Assassin's Creed: Limited Edition Art Book that was around by the time of the first game. -- D. Cello 16:09, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
