Connor died at the age of 96. I think him and Altair are Desmond's oldest living ancestors. Edward was only 45 when he died (a really badly written and unrealistic death as well), Ezio was 65 and Haytham was 55.
Ezio's respect for Altair shows he's aware that even as a Grandmaster himself, he sees Altair as his superior even now, and his brother. Hundreds of years apart.
@Offworlder1 Got a point there. Despite Ratonhnhaké:ton/Connor being descended from Ezio through Haytham and Edward, he still ended up under its influence along with Washington. They did break out of it in the end, though, and Washington had Connor deep-six the Apple.

Well he actually did get a trilogy: Assassin's Creed: Altair Chronicles, Assassin's Creed 1 and Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines (and i Guess the bits of Assassin's Creed: Revelations) but tbh i would love a remake telling the story of Altaïr with the 4 games and with the motor engine (parkour, stealth, combat, etc) of Unity and more upgrades
It would've been great, but honestly I'm grateful for what we got with 1, Bloodlines and Revelations, most Assassin's get one game and that's it, so we were lucky honestly to get as much of Altair as we did.
I love this game because of the parallelism between Altair and Ezio 1) When asked if they regretted being an Assassin: Altair: How could I regret the only life I have ever known? Ezio: I do not remember making that decision. This life, it chose me. 2) They both say "I have seen enough for one life" when reflecting on their sufferings and endless battles they endured as Assassins. 3) About fighting for the truth: Altair: "There is no greater glory than fighting to find the truth." Ezio: "Fight to continue the search for truth, so that all may benefit."
@@samdaniels2could you explain why? I personally think Revelations did a great job at fleshing out Altaïr's character and giving his story a proper ending.
@herovaneijk2790 Sure. The original voice actor Philip Shahbaz had such a unique and cool voice that the studio asked him to keep his original American accent because it was just "too cool". In Rev, they changed that completely and he sounds like a budget, cheap, corny Aladdin villain. With his ridiculously over the top shitty Syrian accent. So he is not Altair by voice. This is an issue in games because we tend to get attached to the voice actor, so when it changes it is horrible. A good example is another idiotic decision by Ubisoft when they changed Sam Fisher's voice in Splinter Cell, which everyone protested. Secondly, they changed his face. This may sound superficial, but drastically changing a characters appearance is never a good idea, because it doesn't feel like the same character. But in this case it was particularly bad, because Altair's face in AC1 looked badass, the one in Rev looked like a rat with a bit of pre-pubescent bumfluff on his lip. How are we supposed to believe that ugly rat looking mf is a badass legendary assassin? So they have changed his face and his voice, so he is basically a completely different person. It's like taking a beloved character in cinema and changing the actor, imagine having a new actor replacing RDJ as Iron Man, no one would like it. If they kept his face/voice from the first one I would have been fine with the story, but in yet another bad decision in the catalogue of shit decisions made by Ubisoft, they changed him for no damn reason at all. And it completely ruined my experience of ACR because Altair was always my favourite character.
@@samdaniels2 I feel like it fitted well for Altair. but same time. it was great in ac1. It sounded badaas and do not forget ACR has a jump of graphics and not everyones face stays the same
@@Kraken1Kid Well Ezio’s face stayed the same between 2 and Brotherhood. I agree characters faces change but that doesn’t make it any better. But in all fairness, I read that the studio lost the rights to the original face model’s (Francisco Randez) likeness, which is why not only Altair, but Ezio and Desmond looked completely different. They had no excuse for the voice though, that was a retarded decision.
I don't mind Altair with an American accent, especially if it sounds better than a fake Syrian one. Altair's original voice actor, Philip Shahbaz, is Iranian, and even with the American-ish accent it felt genuine. The Arabic parts were pronounced just right.
Wasn't the American accent on purpose? As in, it was meant to support some later plot point? Desmond asked Lucy about some of the characters talking uncharacteristically modern, and I think some of the developers at the time mentioned that there is much more to Altair's accent that they will explain later. I think Origins finally started to set up that original plot point, which either involved traveling back through time (they mention in AC1 that one of the Apples in Denver I believe is said to be capable of that) or otherwise manipulate the past through the animus.
@@barkasz6066 I believe, IIRC, that the American accent was merely a feature of Abstergo's current animus. While that system had other limitations, it's translation capabilities were second to none. The Assassin's animuses (animi?), while technically far superior, are far less capable at translation. I think lack of resources play into this; Rebecca is great with programming but she's hardly a multilingual. I think even AC2 explicitly stated this weaker functionality, allowing for Ezio's Italian accent as well as infrequent native words. We see this at play when Altaïr regains his native accent when living those memories in the Assassin's animus compared to the initial Abstergo one. The rest of the series then depicted the American saga, so English was the default, as it was in Syndicate, and Unity is unconfirmed since we don't know who the animus user is, nor who the animus belongs to. The only odd one out is Origins, since I think *technically* it's an Abstergo animus, but Layla performed much of her own updates and modifications that may have interfered since she, much like Rebecca, isn't multilingual nor a language expert and may have lacked the resources for such a translation capacity. TL;DR Altaïr has an american accent because the Abstergo Animus 1 is the most translation-advanced system to demonstrate the memories of a non-English ancestor.
Once Altair left the apple, if you noticed he couldn't see anymore because he has to rely on the sense of touch to find the right part of the chair. It's like the apple was letting him see and once he let go of it, he became blind.
I think Altair knew Maria would die during that confrontation. He could see the future with the apple. Maria was shocked when he offered up the apple. Not to mention in the last scene, Maria asks what happens to their family. I think Altair purposefully didn't answer that question knowing what would happen. Another hint I think comes when he says "We maybe walking to our doom." I also believe he knew Maria was walking to her doom. I dunno. Something to think about
Good thought but disagree. Apple doesnt reveal the future of everything only the future of the same disaster that befell the First Civ. Altair could not see the future only the message the First Civ left of the cataclysm. That’s why Altair could not answer, because he did not know.
fl333r I'll concede that. I sort of assumed that by Maria asking about the future of their family, that it was implied that the apple was capable of showing such a thing. Not to mention, we're humans, as Altair. Even if he had the clairvoyance to know that she would perish there, he would likely attempt to alter "destiny" to prevent such a thing. He wouldn't simply do nothing. He loved her. And when I think it over again, it is extremely unlikely he didn't know Maria would die there.
@@fl333r It definitely showed more than just a message as he killed Abbas with a gun. (around 120 years before the first recorded use) It makes you wonder really what all he saw as he held the apple for decades
Although it wasn’t super expanded upon in the main games, I found Altair and Maria’s relationship extremely beautiful. They came from different lands and backgrounds, first became enemies and then fell in love. Maria and Altair both started out hot-tempered, arrogant and brash, but through each other they became wise. And they loved each other til the day they both died. Jeez I’m a helpless romantic when it comes to video game characters but I’d be lucky to find love like their’s or Amunet/ Bayek
After Robert of Sable Death.....Was in danger because the new temple Master Was a machist saying Temple orders is not for Womans. Altair after saved her....he introduces her to the Creed.
Yeah. It made me the most depressed I'd been with a video game for a while when, in Revelations, Altair is walking to put the apple away and there's this voiced part where he calls out to her (at around 21:30 I think) and his son has to remind him that she's dead :(
Your not alone I absolutely love the fact that Maria a FORMER Templar joined the brotherhood for her husband. That is a true wife. In fact I think that she paved the way for females to join. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Although it makes the pain of Unity greater. Because Elise could have joined for Arno. She would have made a great assassin.
There’s something about playing as a young Altair who can perform all these fighting moves and is quick and agile, then being an old man in Revelations who loses his breath walking too fast and can only call hordes of Assassins or use his hidden blade when he gets really close.
The beauty of Assassin's Creed is not the advanced technology for men with hidden blades... not the Hashshashin or the Knights Templars. But Wisdom, now in the real world a new generation of children are born who are imbued with the messages of this series and thus have the power to understand and comprehend complexities at a very young age.
I would love for the Synchronization bar to return to the series in regards to a remake. It would be great to see an up to date and fleshed Assassins Creed 1 experience, where stealth is encouraged.
Fun fact: following 3:29 the act earned Altaïr Al Mualim's respect, and he was thereafter elevated to the rank of Master Assassin. Upon hearing this, Abbas spat at Altaïr's feet, whereas Altaïr only sneered back in his first true display of arrogance. For those wondering why Altaïr was so different here from the first game.
@@manzithegamer2563 Altaïr was arrogant in the first game, and in the first Altaïr memory in Revelations, he was humble, however as our friend here explained, Al Mualim made him a Master Assassin after defending the castle, and so he got cocky due to this.
You're forgetting the real reason he was so cold and cocky was because he lost Adha and it broke him. Then Abbas and a few of the other Assassins envied his prodigious rise and being Al Mualim's favourite and most skilled Student. These things combined to make him lose sight of who he was. He forgot how his Father Umar raised him but thankfully he found his true self again.
Connor may have the saddest life story for me, but Altair has the saddest ending of all. An old man, alone in Masyaf after being born and raised there, after rebuilding and reforming the Brotherhood and become a pillar for all Brotherhoods to come, and what does he do in his final moments? To take a sit and rest...
I felt like that was a very fitting end, he had accomplished so much in his life, must-have been exhausting, so he needed the rest, he died peacefully, as contrary to his entire life of war
Just realized, that Altair says that he has seen enough for one life, implying the fact that he had seen the future, when Ezio finds his apple and says that he has seen enough for one life.
It’s Ezio who quoted Altair, not the other way around. Ezio heard Altair’s words in his memories, and he repeated them to signify that he’s not gonna make the same mistake as his ancestor. But it’s not like Altair meant to teach Ezio a lesson or something. He was simply expressing his own regret to his son.
@@moncroly2563 Ezio's great great grandpa was actually Domenico Auditore, the guy who founded the Auditore family and built the Villa. He was the son of an Assassin and an Assassin himself and he was tasked with hiding Altaïr's codex in Spain. But yeah Altaïr's and Ezio's lines don't meet until Desmond is born. Altaïr being his maternal ancestor and Ezio a paternal one.
Al Mualim: "you fit your father's shoes" Altaïr: *looks at feet* Edit: yall this comment is like a year old now what the f u c k is going on. i cant believe this got more attention than any other platform im on
Now that I think about it. Altair killed Abbas for 2 reasons. The first is that he was mad and effectively corrupted the brotherhood The second reason is that Altair knew the truth and also knew that Abbas would never accept it, but by not accepting it he was in a state of eternal torment. Altaïr actually freed him and put him finally to rest. The original AC have deep stories!
@@RainSennin_ismyAlt You're right, but I still don't think Altair gets quite the love that he deserves. I think "underappreciated" is probably a more appropriate word than "underrated."
The campfire scene at 13:00 was so epic, the dialogues, the music, the strong "creed" vibe. Then the sad music during Abbas's death. God that game was amazing.
Bayek created the brotherhood And when it lost it's way Altair reformed it And when it fell into ruins Ezio rebuilt it The 3 legends of the assassins creed universe, yes each protagonist did a massive deed, where masters and became notable figures in their own right, but none did as much as these 3
Just let that sink in….this man Used a Literal Gun in the 12th century of times where only swords and Arrows was the prime weapon All from the all seeing apple Lol I love this game
From 17:39 to the end (and frankly his end), you can see that Altair chose to wear Maria's cloak as a cape to show his devotion to Maria. Nice touch to his character
Al Mualim was a good guy. The Apple of Eden corrupted him, and that corrupted the entire Creed. It's such a petty shame that human hearts fail so quickly.
That's one of the many flaws of the human race,we can be corrupted easily by trivial things like money and power.it corrupts even the smartest,wisest and noble people.
To see what took place right after AC1 made me like Altaïr even more. I like Ezio but I was hoped to finish Altaïr’s story. Glad to see it happen in AC: Revelations
Timeline of Assassins: Alexios (more of a warrior than an assassin) Bayek (started it all) Altair (laid the foundations of what the brotherhood is today) Ezio (followed in Altair footsteps, arguably better than Altair) Edward (continued the brotherhood) Shay (hunted the assassin and destroyed a brotherhood) Connor ( Rebuilt the dynasty of assassins, arguably best combat fighter) Arno (built on the creed after the murder of his father) Jacob and Evie ( freed England from the Templar’s) Desmond miles ( fighting the modern day Templar’s of the world)
I have huge respect for Great Altair❤ He had to work hard And fight against his enemies his whole life for Assassins, for brotherhood! He stands for people against traitor!
If you didn't know, Masyaf is an actual temple used by an ancient group of people named the Hashashin's. The Hashashin's would kill people that were political opponents and for political reasons. Masyaf was one of the many temples the Hashashin used to welcome people who didn't align with what was common. In one of these cutscenes, Altair mentions clearing out Masyaf and fleeing because of the Mongol Horde, this has historical significance to the story of the Hashashin because the Mongol Horde had destroyed Temple Masyaf and brought the end of the Hashashin.
The Hashashin were just common thieves and stealers. Killing and robbing for their own personal gain. Not following a greater cause, quite the opposite of the Assasins
It’s very incredible and wonderful how the six memory keys fits in the loose ends that were established in the initial Assassins Creed, considering we saw the arrogant and childish behavior of Altair at the start of that game. By Revelations, it elevated the immense wisdom, strength and conviction he demonstrates after the events of the first game.
I can still remember almost screaming when Revelations were announced - because Altair was coming back. It was like seeing an old friend or even a respected teacher. No one really even cared about Ezio for a second, everyone wanted to play as Altair again
One of the most interesting and amazing assassins from all the games imo. Sad to see how he became broken over time due to the death of his wife that he caused but redeemed himself over time to the order
@@mobinxd Altair accomplished everything in his life and so he chose to die while hiding the Apple so it was merely a choice cuz the apple had to stay hidden once he has died , on the other hand ezio did not had the responsibility of the apple cuz he hid it way before with Altair and so he died among his people. Basically Altair also died among his people in his city in his home so he wasn't alone.
Altair has two of the best camera transitions in gaming. The one in AC2 where the animus camera stays with Maria after they screw and then when the camera goes behind the chair as he passes.
Last 5 minutes scenes everytime I see them I get tears. It's just a game but devs did a very good job with the story back then, shame it didn't continue...
he was more stupid then blind. wanting the thing that allmost killed him made him look really stupid. it's like those kids too far into a game or a movie who starts to *develop* super powers. if it won't work the first time then hey maybe a second time works. if not? third time's the charm. reality is he would die. no but's or maybe's. he was to onesided. craving only the apples power and not it's wisdom. and he was, yes, as you stated, blind because he could not se he was to weak to wield it's massive power and potential the first time he tried. but hey. it's abbas we're talking of here. not the sharpest blade on the wrist am i right? xD
@@zerrierslizer1 Abbas at his core was a traumatized and scared child who never moved on from his father's death and felt the need to lash out against the world. A dark example of how obsessing with honor in excess can bring bad consequences.
20:35 Coincidentally, I designed and got an inner-forearm tattoo of the Hebrew inscription of Ecclesiastes 1:18 while playing the first game in this masterful trilogy. When I reached the end of Revelations and heard this verse recited... I can't even express the amount of emotion I experienced.
Funny how Ubisoft gave Altair a period-appropriate Arabic accent in Revelations but they can't even use French accents for Unity even though we've seen French characters in previous games with that accent.
It wasn't a modern day pistol, he had visions of future from the Apple and built it. Later, Da Vinci decoded and learned of Altair's ways and built the same, later used by Ezio
Seeing Altair in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations as a fan of the original Assassin’s Creed must have been a thrilling experience! His return, along with the deeper exploration of his story, definitely added a lot to the nostalgia and the epic scale of the game’s narrative. Did you enjoy the way his legacy was tied into Ezio’s journey?
For me Altair is the greatest Assassin, Ezio (although not my favourite) is a close 2nd but Altair's greatness is beyond combat skills or power, his wisdom and willpower are beyond anyone else's reach.
Abbas is proof that taking pity and showing mercy can really bite you in the ass when you're dealing with the wrong person. The guy was just begging to be taken out of his misery.
How badass is Altair?
He lived to the ripe old age of 92
In the 13th century
92? Was he really that old?
@@ripvanwinkle654 Yes
12th
Connor died at the age of 96. I think him and Altair are Desmond's oldest living ancestors. Edward was only 45 when he died (a really badly written and unrealistic death as well), Ezio was 65 and Haytham was 55.

Ezio: I do not remember making that decision. This life, it chose me.
2) They both say "I have seen enough for one life" when reflecting on their sufferings and endless battles they endured as Assassins.
3) About fighting for the truth:
Altair: "There is no greater glory than fighting to find the truth."
Ezio: "Fight to continue the search for truth, so that all may benefit."
Other than the fact that they absolutely destroyed Altair in this fucking game.
@@samdaniels2could you explain why? I personally think Revelations did a great job at fleshing out Altaïr's character and giving his story a proper ending.
@herovaneijk2790 Sure.
The original voice actor Philip Shahbaz had such a unique and cool voice that the studio asked him to keep his original American accent because it was just "too cool". In Rev, they changed that completely and he sounds like a budget, cheap, corny Aladdin villain. With his ridiculously over the top shitty Syrian accent. So he is not Altair by voice. This is an issue in games because we tend to get attached to the voice actor, so when it changes it is horrible. A good example is another idiotic decision by Ubisoft when they changed Sam Fisher's voice in Splinter Cell, which everyone protested.
Secondly, they changed his face. This may sound superficial, but drastically changing a characters appearance is never a good idea, because it doesn't feel like the same character. But in this case it was particularly bad, because Altair's face in AC1 looked badass, the one in Rev looked like a rat with a bit of pre-pubescent bumfluff on his lip. How are we supposed to believe that ugly rat looking mf is a badass legendary assassin?
So they have changed his face and his voice, so he is basically a completely different person. It's like taking a beloved character in cinema and changing the actor, imagine having a new actor replacing RDJ as Iron Man, no one would like it.
If they kept his face/voice from the first one I would have been fine with the story, but in yet another bad decision in the catalogue of shit decisions made by Ubisoft, they changed him for no damn reason at all. And it completely ruined my experience of ACR because Altair was always my favourite character.
@@samdaniels2 I feel like it fitted well for Altair. but same time. it was great in ac1. It sounded badaas and do not forget ACR has a jump of graphics and not everyones face stays the same
@@Kraken1Kid Well Ezio’s face stayed the same between 2 and Brotherhood. I agree characters faces change but that doesn’t make it any better.
But in all fairness, I read that the studio lost the rights to the original face model’s (Francisco Randez) likeness, which is why not only Altair, but Ezio and Desmond looked completely different.
They had no excuse for the voice though, that was a retarded decision.
I don't mind Altair with an American accent, especially if it sounds better than a fake Syrian one. Altair's original voice actor, Philip Shahbaz, is Iranian, and even with the American-ish accent it felt genuine. The Arabic parts were pronounced just right.
I feel the same way
Wasn't the American accent on purpose? As in, it was meant to support some later plot point? Desmond asked Lucy about some of the characters talking uncharacteristically modern, and I think some of the developers at the time mentioned that there is much more to Altair's accent that they will explain later. I think Origins finally started to set up that original plot point, which either involved traveling back through time (they mention in AC1 that one of the Apples in Denver I believe is said to be capable of that) or otherwise manipulate the past through the animus.
@@barkasz6066
I believe, IIRC, that the American accent was merely a feature of Abstergo's current animus. While that system had other limitations, it's translation capabilities were second to none.
The Assassin's animuses (animi?), while technically far superior, are far less capable at translation. I think lack of resources play into this; Rebecca is great with programming but she's hardly a multilingual.
I think even AC2 explicitly stated this weaker functionality, allowing for Ezio's Italian accent as well as infrequent native words.
We see this at play when Altaïr regains his native accent when living those memories in the Assassin's animus compared to the initial Abstergo one.
The rest of the series then depicted the American saga, so English was the default, as it was in Syndicate, and Unity is unconfirmed since we don't know who the animus user is, nor who the animus belongs to.
The only odd one out is Origins, since I think *technically* it's an Abstergo animus, but Layla performed much of her own updates and modifications that may have interfered since she, much like Rebecca, isn't multilingual nor a language expert and may have lacked the resources for such a translation capacity.
TL;DR Altaïr has an american accent because the Abstergo Animus 1 is the most translation-advanced system to demonstrate the memories of a non-English ancestor.
I play this Game till now,because I love Altair And because I'm Arabic
In my opinion his American sounding voice made him badass and the tone he spoke in was great
Once Altair left the apple, if you noticed he couldn't see anymore because he has to rely on the sense of touch to find the right part of the chair. It's like the apple was letting him see and once he let go of it, he became blind.
It's because the room was dark lmao
@@westont98 and fucking 92 years old. That's beyond the milestone for a thousand years ago
he aims quite well for someone who is blind
Also when he carried the Apple, it was in a covering.
If so, then how come he started staring at the key he took out after sitting?
I think Altair knew Maria would die during that confrontation. He could see the future with the apple. Maria was shocked when he offered up the apple. Not to mention in the last scene, Maria asks what happens to their family. I think Altair purposefully didn't answer that question knowing what would happen. Another hint I think comes when he says "We maybe walking to our doom." I also believe he knew Maria was walking to her doom. I dunno. Something to think about
+David Goebel
That's a great analysis! Depressing, but great.
Good thought but disagree. Apple doesnt reveal the future of everything only the future of the same disaster that befell the First Civ. Altair could not see the future only the message the First Civ left of the cataclysm. That’s why Altair could not answer, because he did not know.
fl333r I'll concede that. I sort of assumed that by Maria asking about the future of their family, that it was implied that the apple was capable of showing such a thing. Not to mention, we're humans, as Altair. Even if he had the clairvoyance to know that she would perish there, he would likely attempt to alter "destiny" to prevent such a thing. He wouldn't simply do nothing. He loved her. And when I think it over again, it is extremely unlikely he didn't know Maria would die there.
Maybe he believed he could change it somehow I think that’s why it still hurt him when Maria died
@@fl333r It definitely showed more than just a message as he killed Abbas with a gun. (around 120 years before the first recorded use) It makes you wonder really what all he saw as he held the apple for decades
Although it wasn’t super expanded upon in the main games, I found Altair and Maria’s relationship extremely beautiful. They came from different lands and backgrounds, first became enemies and then fell in love. Maria and Altair both started out hot-tempered, arrogant and brash, but through each other they became wise. And they loved each other til the day they both died. Jeez I’m a helpless romantic when it comes to video game characters but I’d be lucky to find love like their’s or Amunet/ Bayek
@@shootingstar3371 Why the random Berserk trash?
sofiya and ezio
After Robert of Sable Death.....Was in danger because the new temple Master Was a machist saying Temple orders is not for Womans. Altair after saved her....he introduces her to the Creed.
Yeah. It made me the most depressed I'd been with a video game for a while when, in Revelations, Altair is walking to put the apple away and there's this voiced part where he calls out to her (at around 21:30 I think) and his son has to remind him that she's dead :(
Your not alone I absolutely love the fact that Maria a FORMER Templar joined the brotherhood for her husband. That is a true wife. In fact I think that she paved the way for females to join. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Although it makes the pain of Unity greater. Because Elise could have joined for Arno. She would have made a great assassin.
This game is literally a fucking masterpiece it shaped my childhood
Same here brother ...same here..
Altair deserve another complete story for his own. =.=
A nee assassin's creed with altaïr.
The saga is dead actually, needs a reboot like Halo Infinite.
there is a ds game
Sadly, the story was completed troughout the series in AC 1, altaird chronicles and revelations, meaning that there is no point in another altair game
@GamingPro1003 A game with Altaïr in Mongolia would be great
@GamingPro1003 A Japan game as an Samurai-Ninja hybrid, would be awesome too
"I will talk until you are satisfied." Is easily one of the most badass lines I've ever heard.

Honestly the graphics of the architecture at the time were pretty damn amazing.

@@RestlessRebel how are your people?
@@nomad8166 Dead or forever changed
There’s something about playing as a young Altair who can perform all these fighting moves and is quick and agile, then being an old man in Revelations who loses his breath walking too fast and can only call hordes of Assassins or use his hidden blade when he gets really close.
The beauty of Assassin's Creed is not the advanced technology for men with hidden blades... not the Hashshashin or the Knights Templars. But Wisdom, now in the real world a new generation of children are born who are imbued with the messages of this series and thus have the power to understand and comprehend complexities at a very young age.

@AM Productions that's stupid
@@Commander_Shepard. it's something genetic, why do you think is stupid?
Altair and his son are really taking the fact that it’s the last time they ever see each other again very well
Fun fact: following 3:29 the act earned Altaïr Al Mualim's respect, and he was thereafter elevated to the rank of Master Assassin. Upon hearing this, Abbas spat at Altaïr's feet, whereas Altaïr only sneered back in his first true display of arrogance.
For those wondering why Altaïr was so different here from the first game.
Can you explain more
@@manzithegamer2563 Altaïr was arrogant in the first game, and in the first Altaïr memory in Revelations, he was humble, however as our friend here explained, Al Mualim made him a Master Assassin after defending the castle, and so he got cocky due to this.
You're forgetting the real reason he was so cold and cocky was because he lost Adha and it broke him. Then Abbas and a few of the other Assassins envied his prodigious rise and being Al Mualim's favourite and most skilled Student. These things combined to make him lose sight of who he was. He forgot how his Father Umar raised him but thankfully he found his true self again.
Connor may have the saddest life story for me, but Altair has the saddest ending of all. An old man, alone in Masyaf after being born and raised there, after rebuilding and reforming the Brotherhood and become a pillar for all Brotherhoods to come, and what does he do in his final moments?
To take a sit and rest...
I felt like that was a very fitting end, he had accomplished so much in his life, must-have been exhausting, so he needed the rest, he died peacefully, as contrary to his entire life of war
Tears fell down when I read the text Sit and rest for a moment.
Just realized, that Altair says that he has seen enough for one life, implying the fact that he had seen the future, when Ezio finds his apple and says that he has seen enough for one life.
It’s Ezio who quoted Altair, not the other way around. Ezio heard Altair’s words in his memories, and he repeated them to signify that he’s not gonna make the same mistake as his ancestor. But it’s not like Altair meant to teach Ezio a lesson or something. He was simply expressing his own regret to his son.
@@rickblaine9670 Altaïr isn't Ezio's ancestor. They're not related at all. But Desmond descends from both of them.
@@cba2make1up I thought Altair was his great great grandpa or something
@@moncroly2563 Ezio's great great grandpa was actually Domenico Auditore, the guy who founded the Auditore family and built the Villa. He was the son of an Assassin and an Assassin himself and he was tasked with hiding Altaïr's codex in Spain.
But yeah Altaïr's and Ezio's lines don't meet until Desmond is born. Altaïr being his maternal ancestor and Ezio a paternal one.
Al Mualim: "you fit your father's shoes"

Now that I think about it. Altair killed Abbas for 2 reasons.
The first is that he was mad and effectively corrupted the brotherhood
The second reason is that Altair knew the truth and also knew that Abbas would never accept it, but by not accepting it he was in a state of eternal torment. Altaïr actually freed him and put him finally to rest.
The original AC have deep stories!
Not forget to mention that Abbas executed his son, I mean that's actually traumatic and marks you forever.
@@kevinnoeltrinidad4545 and telling him that you got him killed intentionnally that is way worse

The campfire scene at 13:00 was so epic, the dialogues, the music, the strong "creed" vibe. Then the sad music during Abbas's death. God that game was amazing.
Bayek created the brotherhood
And when it lost it's way Altair reformed it
And when it fell into ruins Ezio rebuilt it
The 3 legends of the assassins creed universe, yes each protagonist did a massive deed, where masters and became notable figures in their own right, but none did as much as these 3
Connor also rebuilt the Colonial brotherhood after they also lost their way.
Bayek was a highly potential character wasted by mythical and RPG bs. Bayek deserved an Assassin's Creed game instead of an RPG game.
@preternatural9417 Agreed. I wanted them both to be Assassins instead of rpg characters.
No matter how many new protagonists come Altair will always be the OG and best Assassin
Altair is impressive living so long in such rough times
you were born into this order, do you regret it?
*_how can i regret the only live I've ever known_*
I prefer his voice from the very first game.
Not his voice but his tone
Even though it was US accent given to a middle eastern man.
I love em both. Altair just has top toer dialogue. My favourite assassin
@The-phantom788 exactly
I don’t
Just let that sink in….this man Used a Literal Gun in the 12th century of times where only swords and Arrows was the prime weapon
All from the all seeing apple Lol I love this game
“A message, for whom?”
“I wish I knew.”
From 17:39 to the end (and frankly his end), you can see that Altair chose to wear Maria's cloak as a cape to show his devotion to Maria. Nice touch to his character
“I looked both into past and future. Let me show you.”
Pulled out a prototype pistol and shot.
Love this.
Eat lead ! Abbas !
Al Mualim was a good guy. The Apple of Eden corrupted him, and that corrupted the entire Creed. It's such a petty shame that human hearts fail so quickly.

22:39 Altair sitting like an emperor on his own throne. I automatically bowed in respect at this scene, while playing it 1st time.
Timeline of Assassins:
Alexios (more of a warrior than an assassin)
Bayek (started it all)
Altair (laid the foundations of what the brotherhood is today)
Ezio (followed in Altair footsteps, arguably better than Altair)
Edward (continued the brotherhood)
Shay (hunted the assassin and destroyed a brotherhood)
Connor ( Rebuilt the dynasty of assassins, arguably best combat fighter)
Arno (built on the creed after the murder of his father)
Jacob and Evie ( freed England from the Templar’s)

If you didn't know, Masyaf is an actual temple used by an ancient group of people named the Hashashin's. The Hashashin's would kill people that were political opponents and for political reasons. Masyaf was one of the many temples the Hashashin used to welcome people who didn't align with what was common. In one of these cutscenes, Altair mentions clearing out Masyaf and fleeing because of the Mongol Horde, this has historical significance to the story of the Hashashin because the Mongol Horde had destroyed Temple Masyaf and brought the end of the Hashashin.
They were Ismaili shias, Hasan I sabah, what makes u think they have ended. Shias are still here
The Hashashin were just common thieves and stealers. Killing and robbing for their own personal gain. Not following a greater cause, quite the opposite of the Assasins
It’s very incredible and wonderful how the six memory keys fits in the loose ends that were established in the initial Assassins Creed, considering we saw the arrogant and childish behavior of Altair at the start of that game. By Revelations, it elevated the immense wisdom, strength and conviction he demonstrates after the events of the first game.
The mad lad lived to 92, that's practically unheard of in that time.
The first thing I thought when I first played this part of the game "Altier finally has an accent"
He had an accent in Assassin's Creed Bloodlines
I can still remember almost screaming when Revelations were announced - because Altair was coming back. It was like seeing an old friend or even a respected teacher. No one really even cared about Ezio for a second, everyone wanted to play as Altair again
Requiescat in pace, Altair.
The feels.
Altair is so wise and honorable, a true Assassin
this story really deserved a new game, it was so cool with the assassins temple and that time period with the templar crusades
I believe that Altair gave all of us courage and wisdom he truly had a heart of gold
A legend meets a Legendary
Huh
One of the most interesting and amazing assassins from all the games imo. Sad to see how he became broken over time due to the death of his wife that he caused but redeemed himself over time to the order
He is my favourite Assassin.
I cannot describe in words the moment when the camera is turning around Altair and reveal the scene 300 years after with ezio in front of him
Altair and Ezio Both died while sitting.
Yea right i did'nt notice that thing how can i be so stupid lol!!
Subhan Ahmad I guess it shows they were comfortable with death
We should all be so lucky
Altiar died alone but Ezio died in public sitting on the bench
@@mobinxd Altair accomplished everything in his life and so he chose to die while hiding the Apple so it was merely a choice cuz the apple had to stay hidden once he has died , on the other hand ezio did not had the responsibility of the apple cuz he hid it way before with Altair and so he died among his people. Basically Altair also died among his people in his city in his home so he wasn't alone.
I HOPE INSTEAD OF MAKING THAT DLC.. LOST ARCHIVE.. THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE ONE DLC FOR ALTÄIR DLC SO WE CAN PLAY AS HIM AND FREE ROAM..
Altair has two of the best camera transitions in gaming.
The one in AC2 where the animus camera stays with Maria after they screw and then when the camera goes behind the chair as he passes.
Last 5 minutes scenes everytime I see them I get tears. It's just a game but devs did a very good job with the story back then, shame it didn't continue...
Abbas was blind how could he want the Apple when it almost killed him and could surely do so next time
he was more stupid then blind. wanting the thing that allmost killed him made him look really stupid. it's like those kids too far into a game or a movie who starts to *develop* super powers. if it won't work the first time then hey maybe a second time works. if not? third time's the charm.
reality is he would die. no but's or maybe's. he was to onesided. craving only the apples power and not it's wisdom. and he was, yes, as you stated, blind because he could not se he was to weak to wield it's massive power and potential the first time he tried. but hey. it's abbas we're talking of here. not the sharpest blade on the wrist am i right? xD
Abbas is so funny when he said "Kill him! Kill him now! what are you waiting for?! You fools!"
@@zerrierslizer1 Abbas at his core was a traumatized and scared child who never moved on from his father's death and felt the need to lash out against the world. A dark example of how obsessing with honor in excess can bring bad consequences.
20:35 Coincidentally, I designed and got an inner-forearm tattoo of the Hebrew inscription of Ecclesiastes 1:18 while playing the first game in this masterful trilogy. When I reached the end of Revelations and heard this verse recited... I can't even express the amount of emotion I experienced.
Funny how Ubisoft gave Altair a period-appropriate Arabic accent in Revelations but they can't even use French accents for Unity even though we've seen French characters in previous games with that accent.

"... from the past... and the future. Let me show you." And he had a nowadays pistol and shot at him. Hilarious! :D
Technically that was the hidden gun, basically a flintlock mechanism on the Assassin’s bracer.
It wasn't a modern day pistol, he had visions of future from the Apple and built it. Later, Da Vinci decoded and learned of Altair's ways and built the same, later used by Ezio
This AC was the most emotional for me, it brought me to tears with it, it's like an entire storyline ending Altaïr's and Ezio's journey.
How Badass is Altair?
He has a gun in the 13th century.
Firearms were already around by that time. It's just that he's the first in the game's canon to invent a true miniaturized and concealed version

As an ac1 fan, seeing him on acr hyped me up so much.
Seeing Altair in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations as a fan of the original Assassin’s Creed must have been a thrilling experience! His return, along with the deeper exploration of his story, definitely added a lot to the nostalgia and the epic scale of the game’s narrative. Did you enjoy the way his legacy was tied into Ezio’s journey?

Years later and this still hits hard
Only 20 minutes video and beats the hell out whole late 2010's movies. I have this game but never played it, might I give a try.
For me Altair is the greatest Assassin, Ezio (although not my favourite) is a close 2nd but Altair's greatness is beyond combat skills or power, his wisdom and willpower are beyond anyone else's reach.
Abbas is proof that taking pity and showing mercy can really bite you in the ass when you're dealing with the wrong person. The guy was just begging to be taken out of his misery.
Maria was so well written and she got painfully little screen time.
Altair and ezio the legends.
Bayek ?
