MASYAF//SYRIA//1165-01-11

In the village beneath Masyaf’s mountain fortress, Maud, the Christian partner of the Assassin Umar Ibn-La'Ahad, gave birth to their son Altaïr after a difficult pregnancy.

Due to complications during childbirth, she passed away. Umar’s responsibilities as an Assassin often kept him from his son's life, so the entire Brotherhood helped raise the boy. After his father was executed at the hands of the Saracens, an 11-year old Altaïr was taken under the wing of Al Mualim, the Mentor of the Levantine Brotherhood.
