Personality: Fida is a quiet, serious person. He hates assassins who don't take their jobs seriously and hates jokes of any sort. Fida is extremely loyal to Masyaf, Al Mualim, and all assassins in general. He would die to protect the city and his allies.

History: Fida was born and raised in Masyaf. His father was an assassin and his mother was a scholar. When Fida reached the age of two years, his father was killed on a mission and his mother died after losing the will to live. The boy went to live with his uncle on his mother's side, who was also an assassin, and began his training. Fida became very skilled with a sword and killed his first target as an apprentice assassin at the age of twelve. He left his uncle's custody afterward to train under Al Mualim. In the ten years following, Fida handled six more targets with his sword, five with a short sword, three with a hidden blade, and only one with a ranged weapon. Fida assumed these targets were random until he received one that held the name of his father's killer. That man was the only person Fida ever killed with a ranged weapon because he felt those were disrespectful weapons to use. Fida has since embraced the creed and the way of the assassin, not seeing any other reason for living than cleansing the population of evil.

Likes: Fighting, free running, assassinations, and leap of faith.
Dislikes: Investigation missions, guards.

Name: Lieutenant James Almer
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 160 pounds

Occupation: City Guard of Damascus
Skills: James is extremely skilled with a sword and a short blade. He has been training with a blade since the age of seven because his father wished for him to become a crusader and can fight up to ten enemies at one time using a simple blade.
Weapons of Choice: When fighting one enemy, James uses a thin rapier. When fighting multiple enemies, James uses a thinker longsword. Just in case, James also carries a simple quillion dagger.

Physical Description: User Image
Personality: James is a kind hearted person who hates to see the population in pain. James hates violence and deeply regrets taking any life, no matter the context of the act. The only reason he has not gone home is because he wants to please his father.

History: James was born to a hero. A knight who had never lost, who always pulled through, who had fought for the Holy Land. Eventually, his father was injured and lost a leg. The man returned home to praise and songs of his bravery, but he was not happy. He forced James, who hated violence, to pick up a blade and start fighting. James trained with people up to three or four times his age and slowly became better than all of them. At the age of fourteen, much too young to charge into battle, James' father forced him to enter the Crusades as a foot soldier. When his age was discovered after he had fought several battles and killed many men, he was not sent home but instead sent to become a guard of Damascus. He rose through the ranks while in Damascus and became a lieutenant around the same time Jean Beauclaire had. James has deep feelings for the woman that he knows will probably never be returned, and he accepts this.

Likes: Peace, night-time strolls, the moon, other guards, wine, and Lieutenant Jean Beauclaire.
Dislikes: Thieves, murderers, criminals, fighting, and assassins.
