He even created a method by which an assassin can wield two Hidden Blades and even left manuals as to who to use them in combat and assassinations. Advanced Engineering: Through the knowledge hidden within the Apple of Eden, he learned and managed to create a Hidden Blade, one which would no longer require the need to cut off the left ring finger.After acquiring the Apple of Eden, he studied it as well as the knowledge it contained, learning many new concepts unknown to his time. After Al Mualim demoted him, his new found insight into the conditions of the Holy Land made him a more wiser person. High Intelligence: Altair was trained and educated from birth.Telepathic Immunity: Due to his First Civilization DNA, he was not a victim to the mind control properties of the Apple of Eden, no matter how many times Al Mualim tried to do so.Eagle Vision: Due to the First Civilization DNA, he has the sixth sense or in other words intuition senses which allowed him to identify anyone in his vicinity and even scan them for their intentions.Ultimate, Altair is added as a downloadable Mii costume for the Mii Swordfighter in Wave 5. Eventually became the Mentor and leader of the Assassins Order in his time, revolutionizing the way the Order operated. 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.Īfter 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. Altaïr has the chance to recover his lost prestige by killing these men, all of whom seem fairly confident in their righteousness when killed. 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 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. 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.
