Database: Malik Al-Sayf

The One-Armed Assassin

Malik Al-Sayf was raised from a young age to be an assassin. Skilled in all of their arts, Malik nonetheless was envious of his peer Altaïr's position of favor with Al-Mualim.

Malik's ill will toward his fellow assassin reached its peak when Altaïr breached the tenets of their Creed in the temple of Solomon and allowed Robert de Sablé to make off with a crucially important relic. An encounter which cost Malik his left arm.

As Altaïr worked toward redemption, Malik's opinion of him softened, and eventually became one of his most stalwart allies. Al-Sayf came to Altaïr's aid when The Eagle went against Al-Mualim, and deposed the corrupted Assassin Mentor.

Malik was an exemplar of the Assassin's Creed, and was often placed in positions of leadership in Altaïr's absence. Despite his injury, Malik is still a force to be reckoned with, and a formidable agent of the Brotherhood.
