    I wonder if it's significant that Altair's ring finger is removed for use of his concealed blade. I doubt assassins married, therefore probably didn't father too many children. So I wonder if the ancestry link to Ezio and Desmond is more of a Brotherhood thing or actual blood relation. Any thoughts?

    They are blood-related. They would have to be. The Animus would not work with Desmond for Altair's memories if the two were not blood-related.

    yeah, Altair and Ezio are blood relations of Desmond, but Altair and Ezio are not necessarily related

    Yeah, but Altair doesn't seep to be that type of guy......

    (I hope not)

    They call us Homo sapiens (Wise Man) but really, it should be Pan narrans (Storytelling Chimpanzee).....

    well, men wore it as a matter of choice -- in Ezio's case it is probably a signet ring to seal documents with his family's crest on it to prove identity. so more than just a jewel accessory.

    What type of guy? To have children without being "married"? "Marriage" was made up by people. It does absolutely nothing.
