Altair

The guy you play as in Assasin's Creed, Altair's name comes from the Arabic word meaning "Flying One" Altair posesses a very deadly arsenal, such as throwing knifes, a long and short blade, and his trademark arm dagger. Altairs arm dagger comes from a rack impalanted in his arm, however to use this Altairs's ring finger was cut off to place the weapon in. Altair belongs to an age-old grope called the Assasin's, who from known facts within the game span from the 1100s to the present. Altairs personality is a bit cocky and wreckless. Altair is also very agile being able to jump from roof to roof and climb high church steples.

Altair blended into the crowd, aproaching his kill. Altair jumped into the air and came down on his target like Falcon catching it's prey.

Altair Syndrome

A term given to any character in a video game who inexplicably dies by simply touching the water despite them being able to accomplish many other amazing feats.

The name is taken from the character Altair in Assassin's Creed who, despite being a trained assassin who can leap from 50 foot towers into hay and survive, cannot swim and dies from going to deep into the water.

Often used as a cheap way to stop players accessing certain areas by game developers, similar to the invisible wall.

John Marston (Red Dead Redemption) - Brilliant with a gun, managed to take on entire gangs and the Mexican army by himself, cannot swim and dies in waist deep water - Altair syndrome

Eddie Riggs (Brutal Legend) - Guitar playing, axe wielding, half demon roadie who lead an army to defeat an demon emperor of a heavy metal based land. Similar problem to John Marston - Altair Syndrome

Batman (Arkham City) - He's batman, do I even need to explain this - Altair syndrome
