Ordered by Al Mualim to hunt down and assassinate a man in Acre, once Altaïr arrived, he blended into the crowd, following a strongly-built man with a green cloak. Trailing him, Altaïr swung from ledge to ledge, and made his way onto the rooftops in an effort to keep a closer eye on his target. However, his target soon noticed the Assassin's presence, and the green-cloaked man kept his guard up and proceeded to look at some oranges on a nearby market stall, while Altaïr continued to wait on a rooftop for the right time to strike. Suddenly however, the man startled Altaïr, by appearing behind him on the rooftop, having rushed up some stairs while out of the Assassin's sight.
