Altaïr: "You betrayed us. We, who called you "brother" and kept you safe from harm."
Masun: "I did what I believed was right. And if you must kill me for it... so be it. I am not afraid to die."
—Altaïr interrogating the traitor following the Defence of Masyaf.[src]


Masun was a resident and preacher of the village of Masyaf.

Biography

In 1191, Masun and a fellow Assassin Jamal defected to the Templar cause. When the Templars arrived at the gates of Masyaf the same year after perusing Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Massun opened the gates for them, and allowed them to lay siege to the village.

Soon after the attack on Masyaf, Altaïr found out about Masun's treachery through a letter that he had pickpocketed from the basket weaver. Interrogating Masun in a secluded area, Altaïr found out about his allegiance to the Templars. Bringing the traitor back to Al Mualim, Masun was given a final chance to repent. However the man remained defiant, and ultimately, the Mentor had no choice but to execute him.

Personality and characteristics

Masun appeared to be a madman at first sight, claiming that the Templars goal was noble and that everyone should serve them. Masun was also quite persuasive, able to advocate that Al Mualim was a bane on the village of Masyaf through his preaching skills. The man also proved very defiant, believing in what he thought was right until his death.
