Why Altair Ibn-La'Ahad matters to collectors
Altair is the template. The white robes, the beaked hood, the hidden blade and the leap of faith all arrive fully formed in 2007, and every assassin since has been a variation on what he established. He is also the most austere lead the series has had, which makes him a clean subject for a sculpt.
Key issues and milestones
- Assassin's Creed (2007) - Third Crusade Jerusalem, Acre and Damascus, and the debut of the Animus framing device.
- Altair's Chronicles (2008) - The Nintendo DS prequel, and the series' first handheld outing.
- Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines (2009) - A PSP sequel set on Cyprus, bridging the gap after the first game.
- Assassin's Creed: Revelations (2011) - Playable Altair sequences spanning his later life, tying his story to Ezio's.
Altair cannot swim in the 2007 game, which the story explains away and the developers later admitted was a technical limitation. Every assassin from Ezio onward can.
Collecting Altair Ibn-La'Ahad through the years
The 2007 game shipped in a limited edition with a figurine that is now the oldest piece of Assassin's Creed merchandise in circulation, and it predates the era when publishers took statue quality seriously. Most Altair collecting since has run through Ubicollectibles and third-party statue makers, plus the replica hidden blades that turn up at every convention. Because he headlined only one mainline game, his physical catalogue is thinner than Ezio's, which is part of why dedicated fans chase it.
