One day, after noticing Abbas' continued grief over his father's death, Altaïr told him the truth in an effort to console him. Altaïr and Abbas joined the Order as novices soon after, growing up together and becoming good friends, always at each other's side. Altaïr considered Al Mualim as more of a father figure than his own biological father, though he was aware that Al Mualim's love was "weak and dishonest," and agreed to do as the Mentor commanded. Al Mualim told Altaïr not to disclose anything about the incident to anyone, not even to Ahmad's son Abbas, who would be shamed by the truth of his father's death. Īltaïr ran to Al Mualim's quarters with haste, informing him of what had occurred. Crushed by guilt over Umar's death, Ahmad later infiltrated Altaïr's quarters, apologized for his weakness, and committed suicide with a dagger. Altaïr frantically called out to his father before the execution, but was prevented from seeing his father's death by Ahmad Sofian, the Assassin who had revealed Umar's name to the Saracens under torture. While Maud died in childbirth, Umar was executed by the Saracens during the Siege of Masyaf in 1176, in retribution for him killing a Saracen nobleman.
