Database: Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (Rebellion)

The Legendary Eagle

A legendary Assassin and Mentor of the Levantine Brotherhood in the twelfth century during the Third Crusade, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad was born into a Brotherhood family and trained by Al Mualim, the Assassin Mentor of Masyaf.

At the age of 25 Altaïr was the youngest person yet to achieve the rank of Master Assassin. After arrogantly breaking all the three tenets of the Creed during the mission Al Mualim sent him on to acquire an Apple of Eden, he was demoted to the rank of Novice. Altaïr then worked to redeem his honor and rank by engaging in a series of tasks to stop Templars from seizing control of the Holy Land during the Third Crusade. He finished by assassinating Robert de Sablé in a duel in front of King Richard of England.

Altaïr then discovered that Al Mualim had betrayed the Brotherhood by using an Apple of Eden to control the Masyaf Assassins for his own plans.

Altaïr defeated Al Mualim and recovered the Apple, going on to become the new Mentor of the Levantine Assassins.

During his tenure, he implemented several reforms to create a more egalitarian and open Brotherhood. He made many contributions to the Brotherhood's legacy, including redesigned equipment, information gleaned from studying the Apple of Eden, and his Codex, a valuable record of his wisdom and experiences.

Altaïr eventually disbanded the closed Masyaf community, sending the Assassins out to live among the people they defended instead of keeping themselves insular and apart.
