Talk:Al Mualim

This person may be intended to be be Rashid ad-Din Sinan, leader of the Hashshashin from 1162 to 1192 and "Master of the Syrian assassins", which matches what is said in the game. Moreover, the time of his death roughly matches the one of Al Mualim's.

He is. If you play the mobile version of the game and take the time to read the slow-scrolling text about Altair, you will find that they say, "Sinan, Master of Assassins".

Why is there speculation about an Al Mualim / Warren Vidic connection? If that were the case, why not toss Vidic in the Animus in AC1 to read Al Mualim's memories of the Piece of Eden, and avoid the entire fiasco with Desmond?

As you said, it's just a speculation. Maybe Abstergo didn't knew it. I too don't believe in it, since we would have lot of clues and conections throughout the games to such a important heritage. -- D. Cello 15:20, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

i think Warren was unable to use is own memories , because Al Mualim had a child sometime before the events of AC, so Warren would only have Al Mualim memories up until he has a child. Adam2me00:06, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Does Al Muaim have his finger amputated?

Its quite obvious that Al Mualim is basically Rashid ad-Din Sinan. It makes sense that Rashid would go by a name like Al Mualim. Also, there is some resemblance between Al Mualim, Rodrigo Borgia and Warren Vidic. So its quite possible. But maybe the reason why Abstergo doesn't put Warren in the Animus is probably because they're afraid that their best scientist will lose his sanity in the Animus like Subject 16. Or also because they are unaware of Vidic's Lineage. Or maybe because Al Mualim's memories are only available till he has a son. Which would probably be well before the events of Assassin's Creed.
