Altair Bio

altairassassinscreed_2 Altair is a master assassin, and part of the Hashshashin sect. Over the course of the game he kills nine key men who are involved in a conspiracy 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. Altair travels to these cities on a black horse, and kills his victims with a variety of weapons. While his face is always hidden, he is recognizable by his distinctive white outfit.

He is not a man of religion, but a spiritual person, probably because his mother is Christian, and his father Muslim. He is a skilled assassin, capable of near superhuman acrobatic feats, made possible only by years of rigorous training. He also gets more skilled over the course of the game, getting access to more weapons and equipment as the game progresses. One of the developers of Assassins Creed, Jade Raymond, stated that Altair can do around 800 different moves in the game, but won't be able to take more than one hit to the head, unlike many other video games, which contributes to the realism of the game.
