Tail (Kyrenia Merchant District)

Tail was a visual representation of one of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description

Altaïr planned to tail Shalim, in order to discover the whereabouts of Maria.

Dialogue

Altaïr met with Markos at the resistance safehouse.

• Altaïr: The Oracle is dead. She won't be spilling any more secrets.
• Markos: Ah, that is a great relief.
• Altaïr: Who is Shalim? I overheard him talking to Bouchart earlier, discussing Maria. It seems they lost her.
• Markos: Shalim is the Bull's whelp. A vicious man, though not so devout as his father. He's been seen with Bouchart on more than one occasion.
• Altaïr: I think I'll tail him for a while, to see what I can learn.
• Markos: Meet me in the Market district when you're through. I'd like to know what you've found.

Altaïr made his way to the merchant district, and located Shalim and his guards.

• Shalim: My father's been murdered, soldier, and I'm in no mood to spend my own money on women. Why don't we spend a little of his?

Shalim gestured towards a citizen. His guards harassed the citizen, while ordering a nearby Templar to leave.

• Guard 1: Take a break. Shalim's orders.

The Templar left his post.

• Guard 2: You ugly wretch. A face like yours ought to be taxed!
• Citizen: Please, you've no right to do this!

Altaïr witnessed Shalim kill another citizen.

• Shalim: What's the take today, hm?
• Guard: Not bad, Shalim. Enough to buy some wine and a bit of fun.
• Shalim: I like the way you think, soldier. Let's go.

Eventually, Shalim encountered a pirate and a courtesan.

• Pirate: Raise a mug, Shalim!

Shalim beat up the pirate, and took the courtesan with him.

• Courtesan: Shalim, no! Please don't!
• Shalim: Have your fun, men. And round up some local talent for me when you're finished.

Outcome

Altaïr tailed Shalim across Kyrenia's merchant district and learned of his habits.
