Basim - From Street Thief To Hidden One
Before he was a Hidden One…
Before he crossed paths with gods and myths…
Basim Ibn Ishaq was just another street thief surviving the chaos of 9th century Baghdad. But what began as petty survival quickly spiraled into something far greater—a war of belief, betrayal, and destiny.
This is a 2-hour emotional deep dive into the full journey of Basim: from the alleys of Anbar to the hidden temples of the Isu. A story of identity, free will, and the burden of purpose.
Whether you played Assassin’s Creed Mirage, followed Basim through Valhalla, or simply want to understand one of the series’ most complex characters—this is his story, retold.
