Caught between his mission and the Crusades, Altaïr ultimately fails to protect Adha, who is taken by the Templars on a ship.Īltaïr's Chronicles' ending sees the titular assassin heartbroken and driven to find Adha again, but Assassin's Creed never delves into what happened. After wading through Templars, the assassin eventually discovers the Chalice is no object at all, but a woman named Adha, whom he already knew somehow.

The DS game saw Altaïr sent on a mission to find and retrieve a mysterious object of great power called the Chalice, which holds great power. Released in 2008, Altaïr's Chronicles is set a year before the events of the main game, before Altaïr, Malik and Kadar entered Solomon's Temple and found the Piece of Eden. Instead, they were explored in Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles on Nintendo DS or Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines on PlayStation Portable. Unless players branched out and collected the portable console games, it's likely some of the most intriguing parts of Altaïr's life were missed entirely, as they were barely mentioned in the main saga, even Assassin's Creed: Revelations. He accomplished the bare minimum for character growth, and that's about everything Assassin's Creed gave fans about its star hero back then. Altaïr was something of a cold, calculating assassin who focused on the mission, showing off his skills and little else.
