Throughout his life as an Assassin, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad wore different sets of robes, each with varying appearance; though he never customized them, and instead left them the way they were originally designed.
Master Assassin robes
While initially the standard robes of all Levantine Master Assassins, once Altaïr rose to the rank of Mentor, he abolished the standard uniform system, and wore these robes for much of his life afterwards. The robes eventually came to be associated with him, as he was well known for wearing them.
The upper body of the robes featured a hood that was shaped like an eagle's beak in the centre; this was connected to the main part of the robes, which were plain white.
The lower portion was layered, with the back of the robes extending down lower than the front. Around the waist was a red sash, with pouches containing supplies, and a sheath for a sword connected to a belt. Scabbards for throwing knives were contained at the right shoulder, at the front of the waist, and on the left boot. Around the back was a belt containing a sheath for a dagger, which was buckled below the shoulder.
Exile robes
After going into exile after Abbas Sofian took over the Assassins, Altaïr donned another set of robes at some point prior to returning to Masyaf.
The robes featured a hood, notably lacking the beaked tip, which was connected to the main portion and a full-body cape down the back, which was held by a buckle on the chest.
The robes themselves appeared dirty and ragged, suggesting that Altaïr took little care about them. The robes had a plain design, and extended down below the knees.
Mentor robes
Trivia
