Armor of Altaïr
History
Unlike the robe Altaïr wore during the events of Assassin's Creed, this armor provides more protection against attacks and was dyed black/red. Due to its advanced design, it is more similar to the armor his descendants Giovanni and Ezio wear then his previous armor. The armor is known to be seen in Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines and Assassin's Creed II.
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines
After the events of Assassin's Creed, Altaïr created his own set of armor.
Assassin's Creed II
Years later, Altaïr's Armor was stored inside a tomb locked behind bars which only open when all 6 seals from other hidden assassin's tombs are collected and placed in their places in front of the statues that each of the 6 seals corresponds to. As each seal is placed, a bar (to which the placed seal corresponds) retracts into the wall. When all 6 seals are placed, the grate that also blocks access to the armor retacts into the floor, leaving the player free to take Altaïr's armor. The armor comes into the possession of Altair's descendant, Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Who collected all 6 seals from the hidden tombs) in the late 1400's.
Altaïr's armor is known to be the most powerful armor in Assassins' Creed II
. Since it cannot break, it doesn't need to be repaired, which saves the user a great deal of florins. Unfortunately, the outside of the armor cannot be dyed visibly when all four pieces are worn by Ezio; only the inside of the hood is affected by dyeing Ezio's clothes with the aid of a tailor. . In Altaïr's codex pages, the assassin claims to have created a new metal which is incredibly strong whilst being light as a feather. Since this armor is impervious to damage, it is possible that it is made out of said material.
In a contrast to other assassin's robes, Altaïr's Armor is black, while Ezio and Altaïr originally wore white.
