Story :

Raised as an Assassin, Malik learned the fighting arts that struck fear into the hearts of their enemies. He was an excellent swordsman and a devoted acolyte to the Creed, as well as a caring and mature influence for his brother, Kadar. Malik nurtured a jealousy of Altaïr in their youth, due to Altaïr's exceptional talents and Al Mualim's favor toward him. This envy was stoked into rage when Altaïr ignored the tenets of the Creed during their mission to the Jerusalem Vault beneath the remains of Solomon's Temple, an action which eventually led to Kadar's death and the loss of Malik's left arm. Despite his injuries, Malik retrieved the Templar treasure that Altaïr had failed to find and delivered it to Al Mualim, viciously indicting Altaïr all the while.
