Editing Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (section)

==Personality==
Altaïr was raised at the Assassin fortress in Masyaf, quickly ascending through the Order's ranks to become one of its most respected and formidable members, second only to the leader, Al Mualim. He was a cold, objective man, intensely dedicated to any path he chose to follow. Proud by nature, Altaïr often displayed impulsiveness, arrogance, and impatience. However, after his failure at Solomon's Temple and beginning his mission of redemption, he began to reflect on the motivations of his targets, listening closely to their final words.

As he continued his mission and uncovered the links between his victims, Altaïr's perspective began to evolve. He grew more thoughtful, drawing heavily on the teachings of the Order. By the time he confronted Al Mualim, he had become a calmer, wiser, and more focused individual, though his temper could still flare at times.

Altaïr was intelligent and deeply committed to the pursuit of knowledge. He recognized that the future would not accommodate the old traditions of Masyaf and accordingly adapted the Order's practices. His wisdom and leadership were crucial in ensuring the Assassin Order's survival.

Upon acquiring the Apple of Eden, Altaïr recognized its potential to benefit the Assassins but also saw the danger it posed. Initially, he used the Apple sparingly, employing the knowledge it provided to develop new inventions for the Order. However, as he aged, he became increasingly reliant on the artifact, partly due to its seductive nature. Following the deaths of his wife and youngest son and his exile from Masyaf, Altaïr fell into a deep depression and turned to the Apple for guidance, which ultimately alienated his remaining family.

As he approached the end of his life, Altaïr became aware of his obsession with the Apple and encoded his memories into Memory Seals to warn future generations not to repeat his mistakes. These memories reflected his growing disillusionment with both the pursuit of knowledge and the Assassin Order, which had caused him great suffering. Although he had been born into the Order and knew no other life, he came to see its flaws and believed everyone should be free to choose their own path and whether to seek the truth.

Altaïr ultimately understood that no single person could resolve the world's conflicts or find all the answers, and he regretted not realizing sooner that he had already fulfilled his role. In his final years as Mentor, he focused on preserving the Order's teachings for future generations. He also advised his son, [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad|Darim]], to learn from his mistake of living solely for the Order, encouraging him to "go be with [his] family, and live well" during their last moments together.
