Editing Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (section)

==Trivia==

*In the E3 trailer for the original ''Assassin's Creed'', Altaïr was seen wielding a crossbow, though it didn't appear in the game until ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''. Altaïr used it similarly to Ezio, holding it one-handed and firing single bolts.
*Altaïr is depicted with a crossbow on his back in the back cover of ''Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade''.
*In the non-canon mobile version of the game, Altaïr can use a crossbow.
*Promotional artwork features Altaïr wearing a glove only on his left hand, but in the game, he wore gloves on both hands.
*Lucy Stillman mentioned an error in the Animus 1.28 software that caused ancestors to drown, which explains why Altaïr cannot swim.[61]

*Altaïr does not have a visible sheath for his short blade on his back but draws and sheathes his dagger as though he did.
*Altaïr speaks with an Arabic accent in Bloodlines, which also applies to his later appearance in ''Revelations''.

*During Desmond's vision of the chase between Altaïr and Maria, Altaïr would not drown if he fell into the sea surrounding the Acre citadel, explained as a result of the upgraded Animus.
*In the vision, Altaïr could only kill Templars with his sword and use his Hidden Blade for aerial and ledge assassinations.
*Altaïr fought similarly to Ezio, and Templars only pushed him away rather than attacking.
*Altaïr, Ezio, and Desmond had identical faces in ''Assassin's Creed II'', except for Ezio's beard and other minor variations.

*In 2012, Desmond could interact with the statue of Altaïr in the Monteriggioni sanctuary, saying "Hey, wassa-matta-you, Altaïr?" Rebecca responded that it was "racist" for him to refer to the Assassin that way.
*If Desmond interacted with the statue again, he would say the same line, but Rebecca would not respond.

*Although Altaïr was born in 1165, Revelations' game manual notes him as being 25 years old in 1191.[62]
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'', Altaïr is seen with his hood down only during his final moments with his son, Darim.
*The idea of making Altaïr a playable character in ''Revelations'' was introduced late in the game's development. However, his body was always intended to be discovered by Ezio.
*In the memory "The Mentor's Keeper," Altaïr could perform air assassinations, ledge assassinations, and the climb leap maneuver, although these techniques were officially recorded later in his life. Developers Darby McDevitt and Falko Poiker explained in an October 2011 podcast interview that Altaïr's ability to perform these techniques was due to the dangerous situation he was in.[64]
*In ''Revelations'', a leather sheath for a short blade is visible on Altaïr’s back, despite him not having the appropriate weapon.
*One of Altaïr’s descendants, Iskender, was the Mentor of the Egyptian Assassins in Alexandria while Ezio was in Constantinople.
*Glitches in the memories "The Mentor's Keeper" and "The Mentor's Wake" cause Altaïr to appear as he did in "A New Regime."
*Another glitch in these memories causes Altaïr’s low profile stance to gradually shift to high profile when standing still, even if the high profile button is not pressed.
*Altaïr’s Mentor robes, similar to Al Mualim's but in white with a peaked hood and long cloak, can be acquired and worn by Ezio after completing Sequence 8 with full synchronization.
*Altaïr's database entry incorrectly shows him with a visible ring finger on his left hand.

*Altaïr's robes have been available as an outfit in every main ''Assassin's Creed'' game following the original ''Assassin's Creed'', except ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' and ''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey''.
**In ''Assassin's Creed II'' and ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', the robes could be unlocked via Uplay for 20 Uplay points.
**In ''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'', they were available as a pre-order bonus or through purchasing The Lost Archive DLC.
**In ''Assassin's Creed III'', they were unlocked after achieving full synchronization in all DNA sequences.
**In ''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' and ''Assassin's Creed: Rogue'', they were available to any player with at least one Assassin's Creed game in their Uplay rewards.
**In ''Assassin's Creed: Unity'', they were unlocked by playing the Unity companion app and finding all artifacts in Helix Rifts. This requirement was later removed with Patch 1.5.
**In ''Assassin's Creed: Origins'', ''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'', and ''Assassin's Creed: Mirage'', the robes could be redeemed from the Ubisoft Club Reward Store. They were free to claim in the first two games but cost 60 Units in Mirage.
*Altaïr’s voice has changed four times throughout the series:
**In the original ''Assassin's Creed'', he was voiced by Philip Shahbaz, who had an American accent.
**In ''Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles'', his voice was slightly higher but still retained the same accent.
**In ''Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines'' and ''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'', he had an Arabic accent with a distinct voice for each game. Cas Anvar was credited for his work in Revelations.
*Altaïr is the only Mentor known to have held the position more than once, serving from 1191 to 1228 and then again from 1247 to 1257.
*Altaïr's name is derived from the Arabic word for "The Eagle," reflecting its meaning as "the flyer" or "the flying."
*His surname, Ibn La'Ahad, translates to "Son of No One" in Arabic. While it functions as a surname in his family, it also translates to "Altaïr Ibn Umar" in the form of a typical Arabic name.
*Pronunciations of "Altaïr" vary:
**In Arabic, it is pronounced "Al-ta-yer" or "Al-ta-'ir."
**Desmond pronounced it as "Al-ta-ear," with a clearer "r" and a harder "t."
**In ''Assassin's Creed II'', Desmond pronounced it as "Al-tai-air."
*Altaïr appeared as a guest character in Ubisoft's ''Academy of Champions: Soccer'' and his robes were available as a skin in the 2008 Ubisoft game ''Prince of Persia''.
*His robes could also be bought in the Alter Ego store on PlayStation Home.
