Tamir is an arms dealer that lives and works in the poor district of Damascus. He is the greatest arms dealer in the land and has little opposition. He does almost all of his business from his souk. He doesn't like being insulted, and he is not afraid of killing those that are foolish enough to anger him. At the time Altaïr was looking for Tamir, he had an unusually large shipment of weapons that were to be shipped to an unknown destination. This destination was later revealed to be the Grand master of the Templar Order.
