Concerning the Al Mualim thing: you are correct "Al Mualim" is the Syrian equivalent to "the Mentor", just like the Italian "il Mentore". Additionally, I'm quite sure that somewhere in the games (most likely Altaïr's Chronicles) he is referred to as simply "Rashid" once. I'm working on finding out where I read that, with no success as of now.
