Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad (الطائر Al-taa-ir in Arabic) is the main character and protagonist in the Ubisoft game, Assassin's Creed. His name is Arabic for 'The Flying One' and is pronounced in three syllables: Al-Taa-irr. "Ibn La-Ahad" means "Son of none". He is an ancestor of Desmond and Ezio
Biography
Altaïr was born to an unknown couple, consisting of a Christian woman and a Muslim man. During his childhood his parents left Masyaf 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 among his brethren in skill. This caught Al Mualim's eye and favor, and Altaïr was eventually promoted to the rank of Master Assassin.
He is very over confident because of his rank within the Hashshashin Order. He follows the Assassin's Creed but does not enjoy following it, because he was demoted due to his failure to adhere to the creed at the beginning of the game. Over the course of the game he kills nine key men who are involved in a conflict threatening to tear apart the Holy Land. The game is set in 1191, during the Third Crusade and takes place in the cities Jerusalem, Acre and Damascus.
