Al Mualim

Al Mualim is the final villain from the videogame "Assissin's Creed". However, Altaïr only finds out about him being a templar at the very end of the game. He is the Grandmaster of the Assassins

Description
In 1191 AD, Al Mualim sents his best assassin Altaïr to retreive a treasure beneath Solomon's Temple. Altaïr fails at first, making Al Mualim very angry. However, his anger turns to fury when his fellow assassin's come back with the treasure, but heavily wounded. Robert de Sable then attacks Masyaf, and while Al Mualim is speaking to him, Altaïr needs to set of a trap. When the templars are fleeing, Al Mualim demotes Altaïr from master assassin to novice, taking all his weapons. Altaïr gets a chance to redeem himself, by assassinating nine very important templars: Tamir, Garnier de Naplouse, Talal, Abu'l Nuquod, William of Montferrat, Majd Addin, Jubair al Hakkim, Sibrand and Robert de Sable.

Altaïr kills everyone, but Robert de Sable reveales that Al Mualim was a templar all along, but he didn't want to share the power of the treasure that they took from Solomon's Temple. This treasure was the piece of Eden, which can be used to enslave mankind. Altaïr returns to Masyaf, finding all the assassins in the city under a hypnotic trance, controlled by Al Mualim. When Altaïr made his way to the castle, he finds out that Al Mualim is using the piece of Eden to control the other assassin's. He then confronts Al Mualim. After fighting several illusions that consist of the nine men Altaïr killed before, and copies of Al Mualim, Altaïr finally manages to kill Al Mualim.

Character
Al Mualim is known for being a very wise and soft-spoken leader, but he can be very mysterious and unpredictable. He never talks about personal things about himself, and always changes the subject when someone asks to many questions. He teaches his students to find the inner peace, for there can not be peace in the world, when there is no peace in your mind. He always rewards succes richly, but he won't accept failure and doesn't abide traitors.
