Database: Altaïr and the Apple

MASYAF//SYRIA//1191
Al Mualim, master of the Levantine Brotherhood, sent his best agent, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, along with the brothers Malik and Kadar, to retrieve a treasure from Solomon's Temple. When he saw that the Templars had arrived first, Altaïr recklessly attacked and was forced to flee before seeing what it was that both sides were after.

Malik managed to recover the artifact and bring it back to Masyaf, but before the treasure could be opened to reveal the prize inside, Robert de Sablé laid siege to the fortress. Although the treasure's container was seen on Al Mualim's desk, it was only after killing six of the Templar leaders did he reveal the Apple of Eden to Altaïr, and explain its power to control the minds of others.
