During their first encounter with the Silver Witch, she implies to both that "their" father(by swiftly passing her gaze from one to the other) is sending at least one of them to certain death, to which Altair stubbornly denies that the sultan is his father(implying he is likely a bastard son and he knows it) and Nasir gets intrigued...Still reading the novel and haven't noticed anything else to help(I also came here to double check on the hint at them being half? brothers)...but it also seemed to be insinuated that the 2 are aware they share a deeper bond Nasir, at the very least, is trying too hard to ignore and it seems platonic. Altair sort of comes across as the bastard brother who's trying to connect with his sibling in a teasing older brother way, but I wouldn't know if his feelings towards Nasir are indeed positive or he is following a secret personal agenda, similar to that of the legendary Lion something.
