What is the full name of the Assassin’s Creed character Altaïr?

Altaïr’s full name in Assassin’s Creed is Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.

Altaïr is the central Assassin of the first game’s historical narrative, set in 1191 during the Third Crusade. He is presented as a highly skilled member of the Levantine Assassin Brotherhood, whose headquarters are at Masyaf. After a failed mission, he must recover his standing by investigating and eliminating targets.

The name is commonly rendered as Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, with “Ibn-La'Ahad” meaning “son of no one” in the game’s naming convention. His character also appears in Assassin’s Creed Revelations, where Ezio discovers more about Altaïr’s life and legacy.

Players sometimes confuse Altaïr’s name with the names of later protagonists, especially Ezio Auditore or Desmond Miles. Altaïr is the historical character, while Desmond is the modern-day descendant whose genetic memories allow the player to experience Altaïr’s life.
