A New Regime was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus, in which a memory from Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad was viewed.

Description[]

Altaïr, now 63, returned to Masyaf with his wife, Maria Thorpe, after a ten year absence, in order to meet with Abbas Sofian and learn why his son Sef was killed.

Dialogue[]

Altaïr and Maria spoke with each other while making their way to the Assassin fortress.

  • Altaïr: The Templars have retaken their archive on Cyprus. Abbas sent no reinforcements. It was a massacre.
  • Maria: Oh my God...
  • Altaïr: Maria, when we left Masyaf ten years ago, this Order was strong. But all our progress has been undone.
  • Maria: Abbas must answer for this.
  • Altaïr: Answer to whom? The Assassins obey only his command now.
  • Maria: Resist your desire for revenge, Altaïr. Speak truth and they will see their error.
  • Altaïr: He executed our youngest son, Maria! He deserves to die!
  • Maria: Perhaps. But if you cannot win back the Order by honorable means, its foundation will crumble.
  • Altaïr: You are right. Thirty years ago I let passion overtake my reason. And it caused a rift that has never fully healed.
  • Maria: Speak reasonably, and reasonable men will listen.
  • Altaïr: Some will, but not Abbas. I should have expelled him thirty years ago when he tried to steal the Apple.
  • Maria: But you earned the respect of the other Assassins because you let him stay.
  • Altaïr: How do you know this? You were not there.
  • Maria: I married a masterful storyteller.

Maria and Altaïr deciding to confront Abbas

They entered the Assassin fortress.

  • Altaïr: Look at this place. Masyaf is a shadow of its former self.
  • Maria: We have been away for a long time.
  • Altaïr: But not in hiding. The Mongol threat demanded our attention, and we rode to meet it. What man here can say the same?
  • Maria: Where is our eldest son? Does Darim know his brother is dead?
  • Altaïr: I sent him a message four days ago. With luck it has reached him already.
    Abbas... I almost pity him. He wears his grudge like a cloak.
  • Maria: His wound is deep. It will help him to hear the truth.
  • Altaïr: As I walk these streets, I sense a great fear in the people, not love.
  • Maria: Abbas has dismantled this place, and robbed it of all joy.
  • Altaïr: We may be walking to our doom, Maria.
  • Maria: We may. But we walk together.

Altaïr and Maria confronted Abbas.

  • Abbas: Let them speak.
  • Altaïr: We seek the truth about our son's death. Why was Sef killed?
  • Abbas: Is it the truth you want, or an excuse for revenge?
  • Maria: If the truth gives us an excuse, we will act on it.
  • Abbas: Surrender the Apple, Altaïr, and I will tell you why your son was put to death.
  • Altaïr: Ah, the truth is out already! Abbas wants the Apple for himself. Not to open your minds, but to control them!
  • Abbas: You have held that artifact for thirty years, Altaïr, reveling in its power and hoarding its secrets. It has corrupted you.
  • Altaïr: Very well, Abbas. Take it.
  • Maria: What?

Swami walked up to Altaïr and placed his hand on the Apple.

New regime 9

Swami controlled by Altaïr

  • Swami: Before I executed your son, I told him you ordered it yourself. He died believing you had betrayed him.

Altaïr activated the Apple's power.

  • Swami: Ah!
  • Maria: Altaïr!
    Altaïr, no!

Swami stabbed Maria, and Altaïr stabbed Swami.

  • Maria: Strength, Altaïr.
  • Altaïr: Maria...

Maria passed away, due to her injury.

  • Abbas: He is possessed! Kill him! Take the Apple! Now!

Altaïr made his way out of the fortress and caught up with his son, Darim.

  • Darim: Father! I got your message. What has happened?
  • Altaïr: Darim! Turn back!
  • Darim: Have they all gone mad?
  • Altaïr: We have to go. Abbas must not get his hands on the Apple.
  • Darim: If you need more knives, take them.
New regime 14

Altaïr and Darim attacked by Abbas' men

Darim threw a satchel of knives to Altaïr, and the two made their way out of the village, killing the attacking Assassins.

  • Darim: Where is mother?
  • Altaïr: She is gone, Darim. I'm sorry...
  • Darim: What? How?!
  • Altaïr: Later. First we fight.
  • Darim: Brothers! We need not fight.
  • Altaïr: Forget reason, Darim. They have been poisoned by lies.
  • Darim: Was it Abbas who killed my brother?
  • Altaïr: He killed your brother, Malik, and countless others.
  • Darim: He is a madman.
  • Altaïr: A madman with an army.
  • Darim: He will die. One day he will pay.
  • Altaïr: It is time to go!

Altaïr and Darim departed the village of Masyaf.

  • Abbas: I will have the Apple, Altaïr! And I will have your head for all the dishonor you brought upon my family! You cannot run forever! Not from us, and not from your lies!
  • Altaïr: Maria. My love...

Outcome[]

Altaïr and Darim fled Masyaf after the death of Maria. Abbas became the new Mentor to the Levantine Assassins.
