Major Story Arcs
Having procured the treasure, Altair leads his men on a boat to return home across the ocean. The boat has mechanical issues, however, and the men are left adrift at sea. Altair slowly loses his mind and, in desperation, kills his crew. Henry is the last man standing and attempts to kill Altair with the boat’s rudder. Altair shoots him first and is left alone with his treasure. He begins to think the treasure actually is cursed until another boat is seen. The boat doesn’t see him, however, and Altair is run over and killed.
