* In the first game Altaïr the only character in the animus who doesn't have an appropriate accent. It's not Desmond's voice, but it's not, it's a completely different voice actor. Why bother getting an American accent for Altair when everything else was made as historically accurate as possible? It's Desmond's voice AS HE IMAGINES IT SOUNDS. To Desmond, his voice sounds more badass than it actually is, so when in the Animus, he naturally has a cooler sounding voice.

* There is an unflattering legend about the real Assassin Order that says that the members of the order indoctrinated promising young men into becoming assassins by taking them to a beautiful garden while they were under the effects of hallucinogenic drugs and then telling them that what they had just witnessed was Paradise itself, and that they could go live there one day if they did exactly what their mentors told them to. Apparently, that was the source of their suicidal dedication to the order. In-game, behind Masyaf castle there is a beautiful garden, which is also where the final boss fight takes place.

* How exactly do the Rafiq manage to stay undercover? Their shops are supposed to be fronts to hide their true profession, yet none of their shops have entries that customers would use. The only ones are the roof entrances Altair uses, which include a giant assassin emblem.

* The Templars are dicing with death every time they shove a new descendent of Altair into the Animus to search through his memories. Due to how the Bleeding Effect works, every time there is a chance that this will cause Altair to ''come back'' and ''kill them all''. Canonically Desmond manages to stave this off and retain his own identity (largely due to being asked to juggle Ezio as well) but if Abstergo had let him continue the sims long enough without him getting killed or rescued, this might have led to Altair effectively turning back up in a fresh new body ready to finish what he started.

* A bit of FridgeHorror. We are revealed in the ending that [[spoiler: Al Mualim is a Templar, and has apparently been for some time]], but we are given no further explanation. There's no FreudianExcuse, no DarkAndTroubledPast, not even a recollection of when and how [[spoiler: Al Mualim joined the Templars]]. It's just something Robert says and it's confirmed when Altaïr goes back to Masyaf. However, for those who played ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'' and ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'', may realize the truth: [[spoiler: Al Mualim was being controlled by Juno through the Apple. The Pieces of Eden are sentient, and anyone who comes in contact with them is also put under their control, however unconsciously. Al Mualim claimed the Apple couldn't control Altaïr, but that's because Juno needed him to continue her plan. Now, why Robert de Sable would claim Al Mualim is a Templar? Because he might have not touched the Apple, but he was in Solomon's Temple when Malik took it (which, by the way, is never explained HOW he escaped, but more of that below); it's entirely possible the Apple programmed Robert to tell it to Altair as his FamousLastWords, while it brainwashed Al Mualim to become what it wanted him to be. So, in reality, Altair was Juno's UnwittingPawn, and he killed his innocent mentor who was BrainwashedAndCrazy. Then Mualim goads Altair to destroy the Apple; Altair says he can't, to which Al Mualim ominously replies before dying "Yes you can, Altaïr. But you won't". He can't destroy the Apple ''because it now controls HIM''!]]
