The Best Assassin’s Creed Villains, Ranked by How Pointless They Were

5. Al Mualim – Assassin’s Creed

Al Mualim is the first major villain of the Assassin’s Creed series, and yet he still remains one of the most memorable. This cunning figure was actually the Mentor of the Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins, sending Altair out on multiple missions to take down Templar targets. His lust for power, however, led him to work with the Templars themselves in search of the Apple of Eden. Al Mualim trained and mentored Altair, using the master Assassin to his own benefit to bring the Apple into his grasp, only to turn the device against the very assassins he established. Were it not for the skills of Altair, who know how far Al Mualim could have gone with his control over humanity.
