Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad
“An arrogant assassin forced to confront the truth — the man who rebuilt himself between faith and knowledge.”
A mechanized blade concealed in the sleeve — the iconic weapon of the Assassin Brotherhood and the series' most recognized tool.
A dive from great heights into a hay cart — the visual signature of the entire AC franchise.
A precursor artifact capable of controlling human will. Altaïr was one of the first to study — and warn against — its power.
A man whose arrogance became his fall, and whose fall became his growth. Early Altaïr loses everything by overestimating himself and breaking the Creed. But that downfall makes him. In old age he writes the Codex and redefines what an Assassin actually is — learning the hardest possible way that understanding outlasts any blade.
