History Characters / AssassinsCreedIAssassins

* TheArcher: He is a skilled bowman, which is why Altaïr chose to bring him on the mission to assassinate Genghis Khan.

'''Altaïr:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Here. Let me show you.]] (''[[KickTheSonOfABitch stabs Majd Addin in the neck]]'')

-->'''Abbas:''' I hope there is another life after this one. Then I will see him, and know the truth of his final days...And when it is your time, we will find you, and then there will be no doubts.\\

* TheHero: Of the first game where he is charged by the BigGood with ridding the Holy Land of abusive merchants, tyrannical rulers, etc. It is telling that Desmond gains synch by rescuing civilians but not killing Templars, implying that the former brings him closer to Altaïr than the latter. Of course, he's also an antihero given that he's a ProfessionalKiller.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Most Assassins do not like Abbas during his reign as Mentor but are forced to follow his orders due to his position. Upon Altaïr's return to Masyaf, not only many of them immediately side with him to dethrone Abbas, a few don't even bother follow his orders to stop Altaïr.

* ShadowArchetype: Abbas in many ways is what Altaïr could have been had the latter not been punished by Al-Mualim. Like Altaïr before his demotion, Abbas sees the little in the Creed and breaks all three tenets to ensure he gets what he wants. Altaïr's journey in the first game mellows him, allowing him to be a better man and an Assassin and ensuring the Order's power for the centuries to come. Abbas has no such CharacterDevelopment and remained the same arrogant, power hungry and selfish ManChild even in the twilight of his years and has turned the Assassins into nothing more than bandits and tyrants during his reign as mentor.

Altaïr and Maria's eldest son. He was trained by them alongside his younger brother Sef. He accompanied his parents on the mission to assassinate Genghis Khan, killing the warlord with the help of Qulan Gal. After returning to the Holy Land, Darim went into [[spoiler:exile with his father and his brothers family after Abbas took over the Assassin Order, murdered Sef, and Maria was killed.]] After Altaïr resumed his status as Mentor, Darim became his father's right hand man in rebuilding the Order.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When his father entered a deep depression after [[spoiler:Maria and Sef were killed and they were driven from Masyaf by Abbas]] while also becoming obsessed with the Apple of Eden, Darim left Altaïr in Alamut and traveled to France and England to spread warnings about the Mongols. He eventually returns to his fahter's side [[spoiler:after Abbas is killed]].

* GreenEyedMonster: He admits this is part of the reason he hated Altaïr is how much better Altaïr was as an assassin than him.

* DisappearedDad: When his father disappeared when he was ten, Abbas believed that he had been abandoned and became depressed, with only his friendship with Altaïr and the guidance of Al Mualim to help him cope. However, when Altaïr admitted that Abbas' father had actually committed suicide out of shame for breaking under torturing and getting Altaïr's father killed, Abbas believed he was lying, and since Al Mualim refused to clear the situation up, Abbas assumed Altaïr was simply a liar and untrustworthy, and thus a threat to the Assassin Order.

* SeeYouInHell: Even when at death's door, he still [[IRejectYourReality refused to believe Altaïr about his father's fate]]. Abbas then vowed to find his father in the afterlife and wait for Altaïr there, implying that he still wished for pain and suffering for his former friend, even beyond the grave.
