Altaïr is an ancestor of Desmond Miles, a modern-day American bartender and Assassin who is forced to use a contraption called the Animus to relive the memories of his ancestors. In the year 1191, during the Third Crusade, the Crusaders battle against the Saracens for control over the Holy City of Jerusalem. A member of the Assassin Brotherhood, Altaïr, along with two other Assassins, Malik and Kadar, botch an attempt to assassinate Robert de Sablé, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, in order to retrieve a treasure known as the Apple, one of many 'Pieces of Eden'. The failed mission results in Kadar's death and the amputation of Malik's left arm, although the latter succeeds in recovering the Apple. Learning of the failure, Altaïr's master, Al Mualim, admonishes him. Shortly after this, Altaïr fends off a group of Templars attacking their home village of Masyaf, partially redeeming himself, but Al Mualim soon orders him to assassinate nine individuals that he might fully redeem himself. Initially unbeknownst to him, these nine were comprised of high ranking members of the Templar order within the Holy Land, though Altaïr discovers this fact partway through his mission.

Initially unbeknownst to him, these nine were comprised of high ranking members of the Templar order within the Holy Land, though Altaïr discovers this fact partway through his mission. After dispatching all nine, Al Mualim takes the Apple of Eden for himself and uses its power to either kill or enslave those he deemed a threat. This includes Altaïr, who learned through Robert de Sablé's dying words that Al Mualim was also a Templar. After an ensuing duel, Altaïr kills Al Mualim, who then burns the body and tells the onlookers of his treachery. | ||
Now a hero to the entire order, Altaïr assumes the role of Mentor to restructure and improve their practices. After many years of training the next generation, studying the Apple and liberating nations from the Templars, Altaïr gains the status of a legend. However, this legacy would be jeopardized when the Order of Assassins was overthrown by his Brother and childhood rival, Abbas Sofian. Abbas has Altaïr's son Sef killed and the murder pinned on Malik, who had been serving as leader of the Order in Altaïr's absence on a mission against the rising threat of Genghis Khan. Learning of the truth, Altaïr returns to Masyaf with his family to confront Abbas, though a fight breaks out, resulting in his wife Maria being killed, and an aggrieved Altaïr fleeing Masyaf with his son Darim. Altaïr is not seen again for 20 years, during which Abbas takes control of the Assassin Order, which grows weak and lethargic in the face of mounting threats. Finally seeing no way to deal with this situation diplomatically, Altaïr enlists several other Assassins to go behind the Order's back and stage a coup against Abbas and his lieutenants. | Now a hero to the entire order, Altaïr assumes the role of Mentor to restructure and improve their practices.
