| “ | You corrupted everything we stand for and lost everything we gained. All of it, sacrificed at the altar of your own spite! | „ |
| ~ Altaïr to Abbas when the latter corrupted the Order. |
| “ | When I was very young, I was foolish enough to believe that our Creed would bring an end to all these conflicts.

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
