==Biography==
Sef was conceived atop Acre Citadel during a rendezvous between Maria and Altaïr.Assassin's Creed II Like his father and brother, Sef was raised in the Assassin tradition. He got married while still quite young.
In 1217, Altaïr, Maria and Darim left for Mongolia to assassinate Genghis Khan, though Sef elected to remain in Masyaf to take care of his wife and two daughters. Eight years later, the Assassin Abbas Sofian staged a coup d'état to take control of the Order for his own benefit. Abbas had his spy Swami, a feeble-minded apprentice, stab Sef to death in his own bed. Swami told Sef just before carrying out the act that it was Altaïr who had ordered the execution, so that the Assassin would die believing his own father had betrayed him.
==Legacy==
Abbas later threw Malik Al-Sayf–the acting leader of the Order during Altaïr's absence–into the dungeons beneath the fortress, pinning the responsibility for Sef's death on the old Assassin. Two years after this, Altaïr, Maria, and Darim returned, having killed Genghis Khan, in order to learn what had transpired during their absence. Under the influence of false knowledge, Darim rode for Alamut to seek out his brother.
Altaïr and Maria eventually learned the truth from Malik, who was executed by Swami not long after. This led to a confrontation with Abbas and Swami, where Altaïr tried to exact revenge by using his Apple of Eden to force Swami to kill himself. However, he was stopped by Maria, who was promptly murdered by Swami. After Altaïr killed Swami in turn, he fled Masyaf alongside Darim, whom he informed of what had happened along the way.Assassin's Creed: Revelations - A New Regime
After his death, Sef's family lived in Alamut along with his father and brother for a short period of time before they decided to move to Alexandria, driven away by Altaïr's depressed obsession over the Apple of Eden. In 1257, prior to Masyaf's fall to the Mongols, a dying Altaïr urged Darim to join his late brother's family and live well. Darim did so, settling down with his widowed sister-in-law and nieces in Alexandria.Assassin's Creed: Revelations - Lost Legacy
