Is Kylar in The Night Angel Trilogy like a more badass version of Altair

The answer is HELL YEAH! Altair a pretty wicked assassin trained in the deadly arts. But KYLAR? He is 100x more badass than Altair and Ezio combined. Just imagine Altair with dozens of weapons, his movements and strength amplified by the Talent(magic), with the kakari sight that makes eagle vision look like reading glasses. Plus a lot more wicked crap and you got a Kylar.
