==Biography==
Altaïr was born to an unknown couple, consisting of a Christian woman and a Muslim man. During his childhood his parents left ] for unknown reasons, though Altaïr felt little at their departure due to the nature of the Assassin order. Prior to the events of the series, Altaïr trained under Al Mualim and quickly rose above his brethren in skill, mastering several weapons and skills, ranging from hand to hand combat to sword fighting. This caught both Al Mualim's eye and favor, and Altaïr was quickly promoted to the rank of Master Assassin.

The game is set in 1191 during the Third Crusade. Altaïr became over confident because of his rank within the Assassin's Order. He followed the Assassin's Tenants, though when sent to fetch an artifact for Al Mualim, he encounters Robert de Sable and his men, and attempts to kill them. Robert and the rest of the Templars retaliate by attacking Masyaf, killing many of it's citizens before being forced to run by an intricate trap activated by Altaïr. When Al Mualim discovers that he broke all three rules of the Creed, he demotes Altaïr to the rank of a Novice. Over the course of the game Altaïr must kill nine key targets (later revealed to be Knights Templar) threatening to tear apart the Holy Land. After assassinating eight of these men, Robert de Sable is the last one that Altair must confront. ] witnesses Altair accusing Sable of his plans, but Sable declines them. As a result, Richard orders for Altair and Sable to battle, letting God choose who will be triumphant. Altair and Sable clash swords, but Altair manages to finally gain the upper-hand and kills Sable, letting Richard come to realize that God chose for Altair to be victorious and that he was telling the truth. But during Sable's last words, he mentioned Al Mualim being the last of the targets. Altair heads back to Masyaf to confront Al Mualim. At first, the man is able to hold the Piece of Eden, but after dueling Altair and dying, the Piece is taken out of his grasp. Altair then sees a projection of all the other Pieces around the world, ending the game there.
