Does Altaïr know Ezio?

The Assassin’s Creed series has given us many great assassins, but there is one question that always manages to spark debate and speculation among fans: did Altaïr and Ezio ever meet? Today, we’re going to take a closer look at this question and explore whether our beloved assassins are somehow connected.

Lack of Direct Connection

It’s important to state right off the bat that Altaïr and Ezio are not directly connected by blood or any concrete circumstances. They come from different eras and even live in different parts of the world. Altaïr is from the Medieval Era, while Ezio lives in the Renaissance era.

Common Ancestry

However, their lineage does share a connection, albeit indirectly. If you take a look at Assassin’s Creed: Memories Revealed, you can find that Altaïr and Ezio both shared the same ancestor, Gepa. This distant cousin is the link between these two assassins that helps us understand their connection from a genetic perspective.

The Brotherhood Connection

While Alaüd-Din-Kelaa, the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD, is not immediately associated with Altaïr, there is a curious plot point that could give an inkling about Altair’s connection to Altaïr. The in-game journal of Alta’uddin reveals that he witnessed events related to the murder of Altaïr as narrated by the Old Man.

Conclusion about Relationship

In conclusion, neither of the two assassins – Altaïr, Assassin’s Creed: Desert Oasis’ protagonist, or Ezio, Assassin’s Creed II’s protagonist have blood relation. The narrative emphasizes the importance of ancestral descent. Altaïr as a descendant of Ezio and vice versa proves them connected through the history books of the Assassin Organization.

Looking more closely at the overall game storylines, events or the timeline of Ezio’s and Altaïr’s lives do demonstrate connections but not directly: Assassin’s Creed II explains about the murder of Petruccio and Alderotti, who has already died in Assassin’s Creed. This event hints of Altaïr playing in a different world different.
Ezio Timeline

Analysis through DNA

Throughout these Assassin’s Creed timelines in both games, while blood relations are absent to begin with, it gives birth to a strong history about Assassin’s Creed universe of which Altaïr being part of.

Therefore we conclude that Altaïr and Ezio could, based on DNA line (Gepa link or common ancestor) show relationship in Assassin’s Creed while Altaïr the highest number of confirmed and finished targets with 68 from the Assassin’s Code – Altaïr Edition) while Ezio lived (from 1460–1505 AD | | Ezio, The Renassiance) 350 years after Altaïr.
