First Game
In Desmond’s case, they seek information about his ancestor Altaïr ibn-La’Ahad, an Assassin during the time of the Third Crusade. Within the Animus, Altaïr’s memories reveal that he was attempting to stop Robert de Sablé from taking an artifact from a temple, but broke all three of the Assassins’ Brotherhood’s tenets in the process. The Brotherhood leader, Al Mualim, demotes Altaïr to the rank of Novice, and assigns him the task of assassinating nine people, all of whom are Templars, to regain his former status.
