Altaïr was raised in the Assassin stronghold in Masyaf, and possessed incredible abilities, rising rapidly through the ranks of the Order. A cold and objective person, he fully dedicated himself to the cause he chose to follow.

Altaïr had a rebellious nature, he was impetuous, confident, demanding, arrogant, selfish, and impatient.[7] After the failure in the Temple of Solomon, being demoted to a novice and sent to kill nine targets, Altaïr began to listen to the final words of his victims, their revelations and justifications to hold him responsible for his actions. As his mission progresses, his attitude changes and he begins to perceive more of the world's actions, as he reflects on the teachings of the Creed, once a guide, now a way of life.[7][10 ] By the end of the conflict, all of his reckless and rebellious nature had been brought under control, and he became calm, focused, driven, humble, patient, and wise. Altaïr is one of the Order's most respected and feared assassins, second only to the Brotherhood's leader, Al Mualim.[7]

Intelligent and dedicated, his studies and his determination to ensure "peace in all things", caused him to fight to survive as long as it took, as he understood that the new world would have no place for the current forms of murderers. .[10] Furthermore, his cold personality did not respect his emotions. Altaïr is known to have fallen in love at least twice, with Adha,[6] who unfortunately for Altaïr, died and was subsequently avenged,[10] and Maria Thorpe, de Sable's lieutenant, who became his partner and the mother of their children Raised to be an Assassin from birth, Altaïr became a Master Assassin at age 25,[1] an accomplishment unheard of for one so young.[2] He failed to recover an Apple of Eden from Robert de Sablé in July 1191 and subsequently allowed the Templars to attack the town of Masyaf, headquarters of the Assassins. For this, he was demoted to the rank of novice and sent on a quest for redemption.

Tasked with the deaths of nine individuals who, unbeknownst to him, made up the ranks of the Templar Order in the Holy Land, Altaïr began a quest to change his ways and liberate the Kingdom from their corruption. During his quest, however, Altaïr learned of a plot far more sinister than he originally believed. In completing his mission, he also cleansed the Order of its treacherous leader Al Mualim. Altaïr thereafter became Mentor, taking the Assassins in a new, more secretive direction.

With the Apple in hand, Altaïr changed the way members of his Order lived their lives, writing the details in his fabled Codex for later generations of the Order to read. Altaïr's vision of the Assassin Order was for them to be spread across the world, living among the people, and he began establishing many Assassin Guilds during his tenure as Mentor. Throughout his travels, Altaïr strengthened his Order, stopping various Templar plots over the years as well as halting the inexorable march of Genghis Khan. Altaïr is an ancestor to Desmond Miles, through the maternal line. Altaïr was born to Assassin parents: a Christian mother, Maud, and a Muslim father,[4] Umar Ibn-La'Ahad.[5] While Maud died in childbirth, Umar was executed by the Saracens during the First siege of Masyaf in 1176, in retribution for him killing a Saracen nobleman. Altaïr frantically called out to his father before the execution, but was prevented from seeing his father's death by Ahmad Sofian, the Assassin who had revealed Umar's name to the Saracens under torture. Crushed by guilt over Umar's death, he infiltrated Altaïr's quarters some time later, apologized to Altaïr for his weakness, and committed suicide with a dagger.[5]

Altaïr ran to Al Mualim's quarters with haste, informing him of what had occurred. Al Mualim told Altaïr not to disclose anything about the incident to anyone, not even to Ahmad's son Abbas, who would be shamed by the truth of his father's death. Altaïr considered Al Mualim as more of a father figure than his own biological father, though he was aware that Al Mualim's love was "weak and dishonest,"[6] and agreed to do as the Mentor commanded. Altaïr and Abbas joined the Order as novices soon after, grew up together and became good friends, always at each other's side In 1189, Masyaf was attacked and overrun by Templars, aided by their double agent Haras. Riding his horse into the village and rescuing[7] the fellow Assassin Faisal,[8] Altaïr led the injured man to a bench before meeting with Abbas. Abbas claimed that the Assassins had to fall back and could do nothing for Al Mualim, who was detained in the fortress along with several other Assassin hostages. Altaïr, however, gave Abbas orders to flank the Templars and lead them into the canyon while Altaïr himself rescued Al Mualim Altaïr made his way to the fortress, killing Templar soldiers and rescuing villagers along the way. Upon arriving at the fortress' gates, Altaïr was greeted by Haras. Taunting the Assassin, Haras closed the gates behind him and went to execute the captured Assassins inside the courtyard with a crossbow.[7]

Locked out, Altaïr climbed some scaffolding and reached the top of the fortress walls. From there, he ran along the battlements, jumped onto the tiled roof of a balcony, and assassinated Haras from above, saving Al Mualim.[7] This act earned Altaïr Al Mualim's respect, and he was thereafter elevated to the rank of Master Assassin. Upon hearing this, Abbas spat at Altaïr's feet, whereas Altaïr only sneered back in his first true display of arrogance In 1190, while returning from a journey, Altaïr discovered that a village near the citadel of Alep was under attack. He came across an Assassin guard who told him that Templars were responsible for the assault and gave Altaïr a sword with which to avenge their comrades. Fending off many Templars along the way, Altaïr came across an enemy archer who revealed the Templars' plans: they were ordered to attack the village by the Templar leader, Lord Basilisk, in order to gain valuable information possessed by a member of the Brotherhood.[9] equipment and skills

Altaïr was a Master Assassin and instructor, capable of performing stunts, notable at free running, adept at social stealth, and fully adept at assassinating. He had extensive training, thanks to which he was able to overcome any obstacle, human or earthly. He was able to reach areas of high altitude, and take a leap of faith without fear, also, Altaïr is known to have had draughtsmanship skills.[7]

Like other Assassins, he was also trained in stealth assassination techniques, hand-to-hand and weapon combat, knife throwing, building scaling, espionage, interrogation, theft, and anything that could help him complete a mission.[7]

As a senior member of the Order, Altaïr had an arsenal of weapons at his disposal, consisting of a Longsword, Short Blade, Throwing Knives, and the iconic Hidden Blade. Altaïr also possessed an ability called Eagle Vision, a kind of "sixth sense", a strong instinct or intuition that made him see people's intentions towards him, though this seemed to be a rarity even among Assassins.[7]

At 82, Altaïr had lost strength and agility due to the twenty years he spent without training, but this was not a problem of his age, since, according to Niccolò Polo, at 92 he had the same characteristics as when he was young. , possibly resuming his training after regaining his position as Grand Master of the Order. Altaïr met Maria when she was fulfilling the mission entrusted to her by her teacher Roberto de Sable as a decoy at Majd Addin's funeral. However, there was no improvement in her relationship until she became Altaïr's prisoner, just before traveling to Cyprus to help the resistance against the Templars. During these events, she Maria acted in a very rebellious way against her captor. However, over time, the two got to know each other, and once Maria accepted the truth of what the Templars really were, there was no hope for the two of them. From the Codex, it is revealed that they fostered a relationship together, and that Altaïr and Maria had at least two children.
