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, 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 causes one Assassin to be killed and another to be seriously injured, and Altaïr's master, Al Mualim, admonishes him. Later, 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 City. 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. | 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.

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, his legacy would be put at risk when the Order of Assassins was overthrown by his Brother and childhood rival, Abbas, growing weak and lethargic in the face of mounting threats. Seeing no way to deal with this situation diplomatically, Altaïr, after spending 20 years in exile alongside his son Darim, enlists several other Assassins to go behind the Order's back and stage a coup against Abbas and his lieutenants. After Abbas's death at the hands of the Altaïr, he once again became a Mentor, vowing to keep it that way. Altaïr would spend most of his twilight years writing the Codex, which chronicled his life, adventures, and moral code. This Codex would shape the lives of future Assassins in the series. | ||
