Which actor provided the voice of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad in the original Assassin's Creed?

Philip Shahbaz provided the voice of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad in the original Assassin's Creed video game.

Released in 2007, the game follows Altaïr, an Assassin operating in the Holy Land during the Third Crusade. Shahbaz supplied Altaïr's English voice, while actor and director Francisco Randez served as the character's facial model. This combination helped define the series' first major playable Assassin.

The casting is sometimes confused with later entries. Nolan North voiced Desmond Miles in several early Assassin's Creed games, but Desmond is the modern-day character rather than Altaïr. Roger Craig Smith later voiced Ezio Auditore, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations.

Philip Shahbaz's performance belongs specifically to the first game. Altaïr also appears in later franchise stories, including Assassin's Creed Revelations, but the original game's voice credit remains distinct from the actors who portrayed the series' other major protagonists.
