You corrupted everything we stand for and lost everything we gained. All of it, sacrificed at the altar of your own spite!
~ Altaïr to Abbas when the latter corrupted the Order.
When I was very young, I was foolish enough to believe that our Creed would bring an end to all these conflicts. If only I had possessed the humility to say to myself, I have seen enough for one life, I've done my part. Then again, there is no greater glory than fighting to find the truth.
~ Altaïr to his son, Darim.

Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad is the tritagonist of the Assassin's Creed franchise, serving as the main protagonist of the first game, and the playable overarching protagonist of Assassin's Creed Revelations.

He was a Syrian Assassin during the Middle Ages and, from 1191 until his death, the Mentor of the Assassins in the Levant.

He is voiced by Philip Shahbaz. In the Japanese dub of the games, he was voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi, who also voiced Toshiie Maeda, Naomasa Ii, Kenshiro, and Maxima.

Biography[]

Altaïr's story begins when he breaks the three tenets of the Assassin's Creed on a mission to recover an artifact from Robert de Sable, a Templar leader. Altaïr kills an innocent, refuses to remain discreet by unabashedly facing the leader alone, and compromises his two brothers: one of whom is killed, while the other, Malik, loses his arm. Al Mualim, master of the Assassins, demotes Altaïr to the bottom of the ranks, strips him of most of his gear (and most of his skills, explainable in that he required the gear for many of them — no sword skills without his sword, no ledge-grabs without his gloves, etc.), but tells Altaïr that he must eliminate nine corrupt, exploitative men who are abusing the Holy Land, perpetuating the Crusades and generally causing many atrocities. Altaïr has the chance to recover his lost prestige by killing these men, all of whom seem fairly confident in their righteousness when killed. Not surprisingly, there's a lot more going on behind the scenes that causes Altaïr, and his descendant Desmond, to question what is truly happening in the world around them.

After a horrible mistake that cost the Assassin Order many lives, Altaïr has to redeem himself by assassinating nine key figures of the Holy Lands at the time of the Third Crusade. Eventually became the Mentor and leader of the Assassins Order in his time, revolutionizing the way the Order operated.

Personality[]

Altair was born into the order of Assassin's, not showing much compassion to his enemies and friends on some occasions. However, he quickly rose among the order of the assassins at a young age using his skills. He was devoted to the order and its interests, focusing on nothing else. Altair grew up rebellious, arrogant and overconfident, forgetting about the rules of the order and thrill of the hunt. But as Altair progresses, he starts to be wise, observant and enjoys the thrill of finding his own target as opposed to sending people to do his job for him. He learns to treasure the creed of the assassins again and perfects his abilities.

As Altair becomes Grandmaster, he questions the way of the order, particularly its tenets and free-thinking. For that, he changes it's ways to adjust, allowing poison and mobility among many things. He also puts the Piece of Eden to use to form technology way ahead of his time like the hidden gun and his armour.

During his life, Altair has fell in love twice. The first one, Adha, was killed, and Altair avenged her with his rage, swearing that he would never fall in love again. However later, he falls in love with Maria, once a templar, who he married and had a children with, two sons called Sef and Darim.
