Altair Ibn L'ahad was the first assassin protagonist we ever got to play as. his story is one of my favourites in all of fiction and my favourite within assassin's creed. lets take a look at his psychology and see how this man has developed over the years.

If anyone knows any psychologists, i’d love to get em on to discuss this
Would recommend this blog: assassinscreedinspirations.blogspot.com/ and get your thoughts, @TheSpaniard
Dr. Mick is a cool dude. He's on TH-cam and Tiktok. He's went through many games giving his input as a therapists( I know different titles but he's the closest I know ) on the characters and how they act. Check him out. Also do you have any vids on Shao Jun by chance? I feel like she doesn't get much love
I could say in Ezio's way , A life is a life of a suffering , first you suffer , than others suffer from the your hands . And i could mention , that Basim was probably a Schizofrenic , because Nihal was a Fictional Character , that existed only inside his head . And the most interesting thing is the ending of the AC Movie , which is Literally Mindblowing and Literally Out of the Mind ( of the Callum Lynch ) . I mean the way , or i Mean in Which way Callum Lynch Became an Assassin 😮❤ !
Oh yes you could separate them into PD ( Personality Disorders ) or Even worser , remember the bleeding of the Memories , that was just a Hallucinations , and on the Movie it shows you , what happens , when you don't align or didn't have the Power to align . With theirs AA ( Assassin Ancestors ) , that leads us to the Basim Al-Ishaq , Desmond Miles , Callum Lynch . Oh yeah and the Pd's , the PPD's ( Google it ) Altair Ibn La'Ahad , Arno Victor Dorian , Jacob Frye . The SPD's Ezio , Connor , Edward , and the Evie Frye . On the first glance they are , but they are really not , because this is all a Mirage . Because being an Assassin , means going through an Transformation .
Remember going out of the yout head , and going out of the Boxes , that life puts you in . Because most of the Protagonists was or will be going through some rough transFormations , which has it's psychologicall pandane or a synonime , it's called PTSR or PTSG , so to explain it , i'll call another 2 of them , that had adversities , that many of us had , so the Batman and the Green Arrow , i bet you didn't know , they're an Assassins , but only from DC Universe.
Most of the people do not care about the philosophy preached by Assassin's Creed Franchise, but your video help a lot to put light on those dark areas of the plot. Thank you very much! Very Grateful.
I appreciate that!
The philosophy is what makes the characters so awesome. I just wished people would recognize that instead of how cool does this character act and look and play.
So many characters achieve this that are underrated like Altaïr himself, Or Connor, Shay, Bayek, and so many more. Take your pick.
I love all of the characters so much and im so happy to have discovered this series before i pass from this world.
The philosophy is what made it special.
Back in 2008 characters like Altair and Niko Bellic helped a teenage me realize that you can have as complex and deep characters in video games as you can have in books and movies.
Haven't seen the video yet but I always felt AC1 had such a unique tone compared to other AC games. Whereas many of them had a Hollywood action movie flair to them AC1 just always felt much darker and more sinister even in tone.
I agree
the only thing i don’t like about altairs story is the fact that in the first revelations memory, from before the events of ac1, altair was portrayed as wise and thoughtful. in the start of ac1, though, he’s brash and arrogant
I saw a video explaining how Al Mualim brainwashed him into getting like that. But I don’t remember why.
He also had a romantic interest die between those events
A thoughtful and beautifully analysis on easily AC's best character. Altair is a very unique character, whose subtle, yet meaningful drive to learn, understand and change gradually made him one of my favorite characters as I played the game the first time. Altair's story arc (and particularly the way it is written) is one that we do not see very often.
When my sister played the game, she said that she liked Altair's character because he managed an interesting blend of being "flexible yet firm", which is exactly what I liked from him as well. He manages to open his mind to the point of view of other characters while remaining firm in what *he* perceives as right or wrong. This is easily noticeable when he apologizes to Malik but afterwards remains steadfast in his believes and choice of action when Malik insists he should consult with The Master rather than chase Robert De Sable.
Always love your insights my friend
I doubt you will see my comment, but the reason i enjoy your content the most, is how much you know on Philosophy, and Psychology. I study Psychology academically, and am always intrigued and impressed by your understanding of the topic.
I agree, Altair is one my favorites and he impacted me a lot somehow when playing assassin’s creed for the first time as a kid. He made me interested in asking more questions and trying to find out more about the psychological aspect of games and assassin’s.
Thank you for making these videos. People don’t realize they are playing as a serial killer half the time
So true
First AC I played was Odyssey during lock-downs. Now bought 1, 2 and brotherhood... going for them all :-)
Altair is such an amazing character, ive read all the AC books and his life journey is so unique yet sad and thought provoking at the same time looking foward to more vids like this.
Question , will you be doing this for the other assassins
Amazing video. I first played assassin's Creed I a year ago. An amazing game it is. Altair is my favorite as creed protagonist.
me too as I got introduced to the AC series in September 2023 by playing AC1 on ps3
@@ag2731That's nice. In my case I heard of it since but I finally realized it was worth playing and downloaded it.
I love your videos, in particular this specific type of video, I'd Like to see more of that Psychological Retrospectives of all of our main protagonists, maybe with some thematic video on other psychological aspects of Assassin's and Templars, even civilians.
Will do!
altair & abbas are enimies from childhood as abbas believes his father died due to altaiir.. & altair & maria faught together in altair chronicles & bloodlines..
Would love a video going more in-depth on Templar philosophy too, trying to understand it more in depth
Your videos are great and like no one else’s videos on TH-cam
that means a lot thank you
I think one of the most important events in Altair's life was the death of Abbas' father. That's what made a young Altair be obsessed with growth and status since he learned as a child that men prefer death to this dishonor. This eventually developed into the arrogance that led to his downfall. And his rise right afterward, during the events of AC1, is what made him become the wise man he became in old age.
Disgracing himself is exactly what allowed Altair to begin to understand the Creed. Not out lf obligation or circumstance, but out of a choice to uphold the beliefs and the tenants of the order
i agree
same Altair is my favvvvvv
lfgg
I love AC1. Brilliant video sir.
Many thanks!
Best and unique AC content!
Thank you!!
I would like to see an analysis about Shay Patrick Cormac from ac rogue considering he and Altair had similar traits of questioning the creed and both of their actions changed the creed... One way or another.
Another interesting point is that in the first ac game the templars were portrayed as a noble group trying to achieve peace through order as stated by Mualim, however the later games they were just some evil guys. Rogue managed to capture the tone of templars from the first game.
Altair OG
''the first assassin'' *bayek wants to know you Location*
Hhhaha
My favorite assassin Altaïr Iben Lahahad / The son of Noone / The Flying Eagle
You said Bayek was your favourite assassin...
Nono hes my second favourite! Altair, bayek and then basim
I love you videos bro I've binged all of them ( luckily there's not too many yet lol) I would love if you could make an extensive video on your thoughts on Origins. I've played all the AC games but there's something special about Origins for me and it seems for you too.
Noted! thanks so much for the support
Assassin's creed: the best game for loners like myself
Facts
If Altaïr is your favourite assassin, you're like... Way too BASED
The first hidden one ever, what a intriguing point of view❤
Thank you
I think the video would be much more comprehensible if you made some pauses between sentences. I liked it, but it was hard to keep up with your thoughts.
Noted! Thank you
I know this is a strange thing to ask but could you do a video analysing Shay Cormac from Assassin's Creed Rogue.
I could indeed
@@TheSpaniardAssassin
That would be really cool. I always found his story to be an interesting one because he is neither really an assassin nor a templar throughout the entire game. Unlike most protagonists in the franchise, his perspective is very neutral about the whole conflict, always questioning what he is killing in the name of with only the Templars giving him something definite.
A lot of fans say that the assassins here act out of character but if I'm being honest, I genuinely don't think so.
The group has always made exceptions with the tenets of their creed.
They operate with a brand and a signature look.
Even their bases have insignias and the like. They've always worked with lower class criminals like bandits and pirates.
Protagonists have compromised their own brotherhood countless times.
This is not to say they aren't the lesser evil but they have been flawed from the start.
And Rogue, to me, is a great highlight of this. That the dogmatism in their ranks can be a big problem.
What do you think?
Is he real? or not.. Disclaimer
do you know that Roshan is altair's ancestor? found it out after finishing mirage in the 3rd time. I wonder when did you notice this detail...
Nah they’re not related just similar last names
@@Ziyxl you got a source for it? Cuz I checked it out. And it makes sense. Both Arabs, Iraq and Syria are neighbors. Perfect sense. Also family names are created by nicknames.
“Ibn la’ahad” means daughter (or son) of no one”
@@Ziyxl She is. The game hints at it several times. And the ending heavily foreshadows that her arguments with Rayhan and Basim climaxed with her abandoning the Hidden Ones and creating the more strict Assassin Brotherhood at Masyaf. The novel Daughter of Nobody will likely explore this more in depth.
She isnt confirmed by devs
i want blood
He got a muslim dad and christian mom, and he converted to paganism after meeting isu technology
I didn't realise how much nostalgia has colored my view of AC1. The voice acting is wack lol
I don't know what the reason was, but I really disliked the voice change Revelations it almost ruined the game for me.
I kinda liked it
@@TheSpaniardAssassin My issue wasn’t so much with the quality of the voice acting, its the change itself I didn’t like. Even if both actors had the exact same accent their voices sound nothing alike. They sound like two completely different characters because the pitch and intonation in the voices don’t match at all. Also the change was pointless because thats the last game Altair appeared.
Look he is not the first person to kill. ? Is he ?
are you Spanish?
I am indeed
