As part of the Assassin's Creed franchise, gamers have seen many assassins from different eras. However, we have five reasons why the title of best should go to Altair Ibn-La'Ahad of the Levant.
As the franchise hit new milestones in recent releases, such as Origins and Odyssey, as well as in upcoming Valhalla game, easy to forget why Altair attracted fans to this world of Templars and Assassins. It is difficult to challenge his title, because he is a legendary assassin with many personal achievements and great deeds. Only Ezio can compete with him, who also has 5 good reasons to be considered the best assassin in the entire franchise.
First playable character
No matter how many other assassins are featured in the growing array of Assassin's Creed titles, Altair will always hold a special place in the hearts of many fans due to the fact that he was the very first assassinwho they could play. At the beginning of Assassin's Creed 2, Desmond escaped from Abstergo Industries, but this was made possible by the skills he inherited from Altair.
Survived the death of the second half
Even though she was associated with the Templars, Maria Thorpe later became one of the few whom Altair spared.. Shortly after their first meeting, the girl took a place in the assassin's cold heart. During the coup, she was killed instead of her lover. Even though Altair had the Apple of Eden at the time of her death, he showed great restraint, escaping Masyaf without using the power of the Appleto destroy everything around him. He not only realized that the sacrifice of his wife should not be in vain, but also refused to slide into the abyss of rage and revenge, as many other murderers didfaced with similar tragedies.
Stood at the origins of the Order of Assassins
As Altair got older, he sought to change the system that had raised him. He intended to establish Assassin's Guilds elsewhere, moving one step closer to creating an Order that lived among the people, protecting them from the Templars. Though he couldn't pull it off in his lifetime, he served as the spark that led to the fact that the Order of Assassins during the time of Connor spread its greatness to all continents
Developed a new design for the hidden blade
Despite the fact that the Assassins used almost everything that came into their hands as weapons, their favorite tool is the hidden blade. He allows them to make quick kills without drawing too much attention to himself. Originally, the hidden blade required the Assassin to cut off his ring finger. Only in this way it was possible to implement the system of his “slippage”. But Altair redesigned it, and after that, the Order of Assassins' tradition of nine-fingered assassins was a thing of the past.
Stopped Genghis Khan
Given that the developers of Assassin's Creed take great pride in their accurate depiction of years gone by, many assassins interact with some of the most powerful figures. The killers are skillfully inserted into the version of the story created by the scriptwriters, they influence the real events that took place in the past. Here at that time Genghis Khan, using the Sword of Eden, gained incredible power and could take over the world. If not for Altair and his allies, he would have wreaked havoc on the entire planet.
