Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad

"When I was very young, I was foolish enough to believe that our Creed would bring an end to all these conflicts. If only I had possessed the humility to say to myself, I have seen enough for one life, I've done my part. Then again, there is no greater glory than fighting to find the truth."

―Altaïr to his son Darim during the Mongol attack on Masyaf, 1257.

Trivia

Assassin's Creed

• Altaïr's American accent in Assassin's Creed was an intentional design choice. Philip Shahbaz stated in an interview that Altaïr was originally meant to have a Middle Eastern accent, but the voice directors thought Shahbaz had an "awesome-sounding voice". ^{[citation needed]}
• Altaïr was seen wielding a crossbow in the E3 trailer for the original Assassin's Creed, though the weapon did not appear until Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Altaïr used the weapon in the same manner Ezio did, by holding it one-handed and firing single bolts in a short span of time.
• In promotional artwork, Altaïr wore a glove only on his left hand. In the game, he wore gloves on both hands.
• Lucy Stillman once mentioned an error with the Animus 1.28 software which caused ancestors to drown, explaining Altaïr's inability to swim.

Assassin's Creed Bloodlines

• Though Altaïr did not have a sheath for his short blade on his back, he would draw and sheathe his dagger as though he did.

Assassin's Creed II

• During Desmond's vision of the chase between Altaïr and Maria, Altaïr would not drown should he fall into the sea surrounding the Acre citadel.
  • During the vision, Altaïr could only kill Templars using his sword, and only use his Hidden Blade for aerial and ledge assassinations.
  • Altaïr also fought in a similar manner to Ezio, and Templars would only react to him by pushing him away, rather than attacking.
• Altaïr, Ezio and Desmond shared exactly the same face in Assassin's Creed II, except for the beard that Ezio grew when he became older, along with other minor variations.
• Altaïr's robes were available as an outfit for Ezio to wear for 20 Uplay points.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

• In 2012, Desmond could interact with the statue of Altaïr in the Monteriggioni sanctuary, saying "Hey, wassa-matta-you, Altaïr?" Rebecca responded that it was "racist" for him to refer to the Assassin that way.
  • If Desmond interacted with the statue once more, he would say the same line with no response from Rebecca.
• Altaïr's robes were available as an outfit for Ezio for 20 Uplay points.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations

• Although Altaïr was born in 1165, he was noted as being 25 years old in 1191 in the game manual.
• Revelations was the only installment where Altaïr was seen with his hood down, during his final moments with his son, Darim.
• Altaïr was able to air and ledge assassinate in an early memory contained within one of the seals, though he did not officially record those techniques until later in his life. Developers Darby McDevitt and Falko Poiker confirmed that he was able perform these techniques due to the dangerous situation he was placed in. ^{[citation needed]}
• As with Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood, a leather sheath for a short blade could be seen on Altaïr's back, despite the fact that he did not have the appropriate weapon.
• One of Altaïr's descendants, Iskender, was the Mentor of the Egyptian Assassins in Alexandria while Ezio was in Constantinople.
• A glitch exists in the memories "The Mentor's Keeper" and "The Mentor's Wake" that makes Altaïr appear as he did in "A New Regime".
  • Another glitch during these memories causes Altaïr's low profile stance to slowly shift into high profile when standing still, even if the high profile button is not held down.
• Altaïr's robes were available as an outfit for Ezio, and could be obtained as a pre-order bonus or through purchasing the Lost Archive DLC.

Assassin's Creed III

• Altaïr's robes from Revelations were available as an outfit for Connor, and could be unlocked by attaining full synchronization in all DNA sequences.

Multiple Entries

• Altaïr was six feet tall and weighed 170 pounds.
• Altaïr voice changed four times throughout the games. His voice in Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles sounded slightly higher than that of the original Assassin's Creed while maintaining the same accent. He had a Middle Eastern accent in both Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines and Assassin's Creed: Revelations, with a distinct voice for each.

Name

• Altaïr is named after the brightest star in the constellation Aquila, known as "The Eagle." The star was originally named from the phrase النسر الطائر, or 'the flying eagle'. The name means 'the flyer'. 
• There are different pronunciations of the name "Altaïr." In Arabic, it is pronounced "Al-tai-ear" or "Al-ta-'ir," with a subtle pronunciation of the "r". Inversely, Desmond pronounced the Assassin's name as "Al-ta-ear", with a clearer "r" at the end and a harder "t."
  • In Assassin's Creed II Desmond pronounced it as "Al-tai-air."
  • Strictly, due to Arabic grammar, the name "Altaïr" would normally be pronounced as "At-air" with no "l". ^{[citation needed]}
