They really need to remake the first game man it deserves it
I would love to see his full story in one or two games
I don't trust Ubisoft to do it properly
@@unc54 Yea they’re somehow gonna make it boring and they’re definitely gonna flood it with micro-transactions.
Hell no, the first assassins creed was boring and repetitive
@@jorgerincon5953 That could easily be changed in a remake
Altair was a swift man, it’s even said he never got hit during battle. That right there is just crazy to hear.
"Never got hit during battle"
New players : I'm bouta end this man's whole career
@@NeoplayzGames honestly that’s true
Altair canonically did not get hit at all. His Health Bar is a Synchronization Bar instead of an actual Health Bar like the other Assassin's Creed Protagonists
@@SYMBI05IS 🤯🗿😎
Water did most of the work for the Templar if you being honest
Altair was sucha badass, he canonically never was hit in fights. And he lived to be 92 while still being an assassin
He was also one of the only assassins to die of old age
Ur 100% just a Altair fan that listen to the D riders that wank him without even knowing anything about him. The not getting hit has been debunked multiple times by People with actual knowledge. He was hit in the beginning of the game by Robert and he was hit multiple times in the books during combat at different times. He was also gone for decades to study the apple.
@@Will_Rules actually ezio also died of old age
@@bob1060 "one of the only"
oh nvm then@@Will_Rules
While Ezio is the most known ac character, Altair will remain the francise icon and the one who started it

Actually Bayek is the first Assassin to ever live , if you guys haven’t played Origins I highly recommend it. Beautiful game.
@@mynameares2527 well chronologically yes, but Altair is the first Assassin in terms of his game came out first, he’s the one who started the entire franchise and gathered the fanbase that would eventually become the AC community.
@@mynameares2527 it was aya, aya was the first assassins and made the brotherhood and sisterhood, and bayek didnt rly like the idea of being an assassin
@@shano494 but he was more of the first of a assassin than aya he just wanted to kill people worthy of it and leave without a trace he was if we are talking about actual assassins he is the first one ever, not aya she was most likely a diplomat rather than a actual assassin. Bayek encompassed the creed and was never heard of until now unlike aya who changed her name but everyone knew her name, which in the assassin code you must be forgotten to keep peace in the world which bayek started a kept to the grave
Altair didn't get demoted for failing the mission, he was demoted for breaking all 3 tenants of the creed in 1 day making him a traitor. Al Mualim gave him a second chance at redemption.
no they demoted him because the player exists
he was speedrunning
@@nutegunray1618 😂
@@nutegunray1618 he actually did, my man became a master assassin for a second time in a matter of a few days or something like that
@@ssjkaryuusenninyeah and Altair became a grandmaster at 26 which is crazy
Altair, Ezio, desmond. What an epic story it had.
Yup. That was the Assassin's Creed for me. It ended with Ezio trilogy for me.
I never cared for Desmond and I never found his backstory interesting either just his ancestors stories that’s the whole purpose of me playing assassin’s creed
Altair 25 y/o: master Assassin
Me 25 y/o: labourer
Fml
he's a fictional character u r still an amazing being despite
To be fair he was raised in a cult of murderous Muslims, and officially began training at like 12.
@@Vlad2319 what do you mean by murderous muslims? What are you abstergo
@@alamanashaikh3527 the Nazarī ishmali cult that the concept of the game was founded on. Plus the group is Muslim based until Altaïr learns things from the Apple and reforms the brotherhood.
Fun fact: in arabic his name litteraly translates to The Bird, Son of Noone
Aquilla (ship) has this name because of the Aquilla constellation, which its brighter star is Altair.
No matter how much PPL love Ezio altaïr was my childhood and my favourite
yessir
Same here
Yup. I also can't help to think that if he were real he'd be short. Canonically he's 6' but he's shorter than Robert de Salve who has a known height.
Same, I started with AC bloodlines
@@Vlad2319 Realistically all of the assassin’s would be short, with them being in the 5’5” - 5’9” max range as the average height for men was shorter overall back then.
Is that even a question?
Even Ezio calls him "The Great Altair"
Fun Fact:Altair never got hit during his missions,in fact hes the only One whos got a Sync bar because of that
During battles, not missions
He litterly did get hit during multiple battles in his life don't take the sync bar in 1 game for his whole life. Also go read the fucking books.
@@hugo-pg5tvokay and
@@hugo-pg5tv The ones that say he never got hit...
@@hugo-pg5tvBooks also stated he never took a hit Altair was by far the most skilled assassin
Smartest Assassin that has ever lived, to even use the apple the way he did is insane.
Assassin's Creed 1 was the reason why altair made me like him more then the other assassin's Creed.
Altair really deserves more love as a Video Game protagonist
Dont forget that he didnt even get hurt once in a battle so hes op!
Tip:
Al Mualim wasn't secretly working with Templars.
Instead, his principles and ideologies aligned with Templars. So, Altair had to stop him.
The sacrifice that Altair gave, even Ezio retired after seeing it. "I've seen too much for one life"
-Ezio
Altair made a sacrifice so all his brothers after him didn't have to
Altair had such mystery to him. And thing that assassins these days don't.
if they remade it just like tomb raider was it will satisfy
Ngl I miss tomb raider lol
Only played shadow of and can hardly wait for the new one
fun fact Altair means the brightest star
i am from syria and Altair means the bird
It's age was 16 ✌
Altaïrs full name i think is, the bird, son of no one
It means the bird
@@daunskilled4831 you are correct.
The greatest assassin ❤
Fun fact: Altaïr means The Flying Eagle in Arabic. This is why the AC franchise always involves eagles.
Cap
I want a trilogy for altair, to see his life play out, his struggles. Remake the original, add a little bit more content, update the parkour and weapons within reason to the time period, keep the plot and everything the same, just a graphic and gameplay improvement. It would be so good
There's nothing wrong with the original graphics or gameplay.
@@mohammedfathi3592 there is its outdated af saying otherwise would be foolish and stuppid don't be blinded by nostalgia
@@aleksandarsavevski377 I replayed the original AC a few months ago, and I must say the graphics aren't as bad as I thought they would be, but the combat probably needs some touch ups
@wilson05 yeah my only problem with combat is with guards constantly spamming the throwing
@@aleksandarsavevski377you can too
They need to continue his story after ac1 and show him going up against khan
Right
Just imagine how proud bayek would be if he would see how big his own created brotherhood became
Who is Bayek*??
@@ghost-mactavish4730 main protagonist of AC:Origins
Bayek doesn't exist for true AC fans like us. It started with AC 1 and ended with AC:R for us. Anything beyond is bad fanfiction, especially the ultra tier trashfire that were the last few "AC" games.
@@dipanjanghosal1662AC Unity: meh, but still a good game
AC Syndicate: improved Unity
AC Origins: RPG, but have an amazing lore
AC Odyssey/Valhalla: hidden blade is the f#ck, hold my SPEARRRRR!
@@dipanjanghosal1662for me it ended at assassin's creed black flag
The book The Secret Crusade is so fucking good and tell his whole life story. Highly recommend
Read it, so good
Ive read this book 4 times. Never gets old
True story?
@@GameZero2yes it’s cannon
@@GameZero2yes
Stopped Genghis Khan😳😳
Impressive!!!
BTW I remember THE APPLE OF EDEN from Assassin's Creed 3!!!
Holted*
@@johnjackson2863still impressive
And the greatest assassin of all time
Actually Altaïr became a Master Assassin at the age of 18, not 25. Just a little note I had to put
I thought it was 24? Maybe I'm wrong
Altair Ibn-La-Ahad
الطير ابن لا احد
means "The Bird, Son of No One" in Arabic. A cool name for a cool character.
On a side note, it's pronounced (Al Taer), not (Al Ta-Yaire). Though pronouncing that in English would sound weird.
Altaïr is the 🐐
Dude fucking stopped genkhis khan💀
People say Ezio is the best but Altair is the reason the Creed didn't die off and became stronger than ever
Altair was also born with the eagle vision
As much as I love Ezio Altair will always be my favorite assassin. I would argue that the best part of ACR was the parts with Altair in them.
Yep. Same for me.
Altair was so goated he single-handedly destroyed the templar order of his time and got the top position of his order all before 30
I think if Rockstar and Ubisoft collaberated, they could make one hell of an Assassin's Creed game.
Who's releasing it, because Rockstar wouldn't get it out until we're dead.
@@Vlad2319 and Ubisoft would realease it a week into development
@@CHEESEpuff69 at least it'd be released xD
Another fun fact playing the first assassin's creed game we were never fully synchronized with Altair Because He never got Injured in Battle
I'm as old as Master rank Altair now. And yet, I'm inline with the Templars.
Still, I have so much respect and love for him.
A good sign of a true warrior is that ability. He might be your enemy but you can respect and love him as an individual.
@@Vlad2319 The thing is, however, I don't see Assassins like Altair as an enemy. But as a trusted friend. I'm fine with our differences because difference should unite us and make us strong. You know not all assassins are good. Take a look at Bellec from Unity. Or even Altairs rival, Abbas, for example. They are two of many pure examples of why I cannot have an assassins philosophy.
The Templars have bad eggs too. Don't get me wrong. The Borgia misplaced their principles for money and power.
There must be a way for us to work together. As much as a pipe dream itay be.
@@legohunter1020 neither side is right or wrong both want the same thing which is peace but different ways of getting it Templars want absolute control over the world population the assassin's believe in peace through free will
In the AC lore Altair is THE greatest assassin
Fun fact. Altair became reckless and broke the tenants because of heartbreak. If you played altair’s chronicles and read the codex in ac2 you know.
We want a remaster
Altair and ezio is a Master of assassin Creed and legend
A master assassin who can’t swim in water 😂
The fault is not with Altair. The mistake was in the animus, it had a mistake, and that's why he couldn't swim
Look if you carried around like fifty pounds of expensive equipment and your clothes took on water like a sponge, you'd avoid water to.
This game is old. Pretty sure he could if it was made in 2023.
Altair proves that age is just a number
No books... No wisdom Just you fratello mio requiescat in pace Altaïr
Altair's is the great great grand master of all assassin's creed protagonist in history
Yeah and he basically built a handgun in 13th century
The potential of a spinoff with Altair is unimaginable
In Arabic, Altair ibn al laahad means [the bird son of nothing]. Also, Al Mualam [altair boss] means the teacher.
in my opinion, Altair is the Best Assassin 😊
Its those kind of shorts and character development that makes me miss so much the old assassin's creed games , yes open work and doing 4 million damage with an ability is fun and all ( oddysey) but i really liked the old assassin's creed games characteristics
Altair is the Real OG! I wish I was him
He was actually 24 when he became Master Assassin and 26 when he became Mentor
This is why revelations, this came with it
Master assassin.
I know him very well. I was with him every time 😂
Thanks man i played the game for 7 years but don't know much about altair
There's at least one thing wrong. He becomes a master assassin younger than 25. 25 is when he becomes the mentor of the order.
He's also one of the few during the time who was fully raised in it. Altair officially began training at 12 but I'm sure Al Mualim had him training in basic combat skills even younger. Al Mualim was the one who raised him after his father was murdered. It's kinda why he has the additude he does at the beginning of the game. He was about the only one in the order who was fully encapsulated by it.
Ezio: having a hard time fighting a pope
Altair: fights Genghis Khan ( know the difference )
Ur such a great narrator so Pls pls we need more content on assassin creed lore/canon
altair ibn la ahad linguistically means in arabic ,"the bird, son 's of no one"
Altair is badass
His son was killed by the one he called friend. When he confront Abbas, then Maria -his beloved wife- also killed. Then he fled, and betrayed by his only family, the assassins
That part really irked me. It wasn't typical of Altair to just run away immediately after his loved ones got murdered. AC 1 Altair would've destroyed them right there.
al mulim wasn’t working with the templars they confirmed this at the start of assassins creed rogue in first modern day
Thank you for pronouncing his name correctly 🙏🏻
There should be a game of Altair and his son Sef during their exile
And this is the story of Altair and the starting assassin of the assassins creed game this is also why Altair is my favorite assassin!
This is a really good summary, I played the original, it was amazing but I’m going to try the Valhalla one now. Lol
We need a game made with THE first assassin
I think thats Origins
Great short man love all the info
Altair full name's meaning in Arabic is The Bird Son of no-one
Bro got demoted all the way to novice 😭
Wait I thought he became a master assassin at the age of 18?
He did, this guy I think made a mistake or looked at the wrong source
Suddenly TH-cam knows I picked up the game again
Your game profile or the IP of your computer transmits it to other social media apps in your computer or phone, which all request perms during installation. This is what they sell to the advertisers who target the ads.
There is a great story on Netflix explaining all this called "social dilemma"
Not only did he fail to get the apple of eden, he also broke the 3 tenants of the creed.
Only Shaun Hastings said Al Mualim was a Templar but Clay Kaczmarek and Juhani Otso Berg said that he just Thought like a templar but never was one
Imagine original AC trilogy +AC Black flag & Rogue in 4K........an absolute blast man...
Ubisoft used to set gaming trends and now they chase trends.
Its not magic its ancient technology that was created by the "ones who came before"
You mean ISU technology and ISU race they are the one who came before who are actually Gods i mean they are not literally Gods but instead they had advanced technology and they were far more superior beings and that's why they are like god's but they all have names like god's like for example Odin, Loki, Hades, Aphrodite, Hermes, Juno, and I'm surprised that why does they have a guy name Jupiter and don't have a guy name Zeus well they are very much alike but Jupiter is like the Roman version of Zeus.
Altair is such a better character than Ezio it's insane
nah the ezio slander crazy
he s a mentor
Master assassin at 23 but we move
Fun fact: Altair is pronounced as alta’r because his name got ئ which is الطائر his name means the bird which refers to the eagle (I didn't know about the meaning of his name until I saw it on yt)
He also taught himself his own native accent.
Which us as all true his abilities changed every thing that we believed to be true and free one must break all allowed rules
Assassins first master was hassan ibn sabbah he known as mountain king and he captured castle al muat in syria and he belong to shia Muslim family nizira ismilia ❤
Thankfully the Grandson of Gengish Kahn: Halaku Kahn uprooted the AC after Hasan Bin Sabah died, the founder of Fidayn, now known as Assassin's Creed.
That’s why Altair better than ezio
Good video, just a quick tip: you're only meant to use an apostrophe (') if something belongs to something, not if something is a plural, so for example you'd say assassin's Brotherhood because it belongs to the Assassins but if you say Altaïr established multiple guilds you wouldn't put an apostrophe because you're not talking about something belonging to the guilds :)
Altair is a nickname meaning the one who's able to fly
He was 10 years when he join to the brotherhood, he is not in brotherhood since he was Born.
He would probably berate the French assassin for failing to notice napoleon take the Apple
Altair stopping Genghis Khan is kinda ironic when considering his actual history he probably would have gotten along better with the Assassins than the Templars.
I would love a remake of AC 1 with today’s graphics and engine! (I like the open world, play it your way style of the last 3 AC games)
Ezio was cool but you can't beat the an original
Kassandra in the sidelines...
Killing that German Teutonic Order guy was so annoying. Mostly due to Altairs allergy of water.
Just realized the templar is just like the cult of kosmos in assassin's Creed Odyssey
Also Altair is the ansister of Desmond miles,but before Desmond was the first reincarnate of Altair,his name was Ezio
Is it weird that both Altair and Ezio have an injury on the same spot on their faces....
