Then relax, because now we’re going to tell you everything we know about this mysterious killer. Be careful though: below will reveal some key details of the history of Valhalla and other works of which he is the protagonist.
The first years
He is smiling. This may be the etymology of the name Basım, the son of the architect responsible for the construction of the Great Mosque of Samarra. Born under the Abbasid caliphate in the ninth century, Basim grew up in Baghdad due to his father’s exile: he attended the library here known as the house of wisdom and entered the Occult at a younger age, where he trained to become a Master Assassin.
However, in the same years, he became obsessed with Æsir, who used Yggdrasil. A behavior that makes him unstable vis-à-vis his allies but has an explanation: The edition is actually a reincarnation of Isu, LokiWho had used the power of this wondrous instrument a thousand years ago to allow his conscience to survive the so-called Great Catastrophe.
Basim regains his memories of the Norse god when he realizes his true nature. He discovers that the conscience of Loki’s lover Aletheia is trapped in the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus. Their children were trapped by Odin. So he sets out to search for his family and find a way to take revenge on Odin himself, who, like Loki, survived the disaster.

As an Occult, he mostly engaged in missions in foreign lands before becoming head of the fraternity in Constantinople. During this mission, he met an occult named. Hythamwho later became his apprentice and faced various deviations from the Order of the Ancients.
In 870, Isu met the Viking Sigurd Styrbjornsson, the reincarnation of Tyr, and decided to accompany him to Norway to follow in the footsteps of the Order of the Ancients in the region and in the meantime look for a way to follow Loki. purposes. This is how the meeting ends eivorThe reincarnation of Odin to whom he gave the Hidden Blade.
In Ravensthorpe, England, Basim and Hytham set up a headquarters for the Occult and began collaborating with Sigurd and Eivor. While Hytham aids Eivor in the hunt for the Ancients, Basim travels with Sigurd in search of the Epic Stone necessary to access Yggdrasil and awaken the true nature of his previous incarnation.
In 877, Eivor and Sigurd reach a fjord north of Hordafylke. Here they find the remains of ancient Isu.YggdrasilAnimus-like supercomputer that allows the consciousnesses of Odin, Loki, and other Isu to survive after Isu’s extinction. Having been exposed to the device, Basim is consumed by the Aesir’s memories and attacks his old friends; however, he emerges from the fight defeated and is trapped in a dimension called the Grey.
It stays there for nearly 20 centuries until it comes into contact with the assassin. Leyla Hassan and take it to Yggdrasil. Gaining her trust, she tricks him into freeing himself, and then uses the power of Hermes’ staff to rebuild her body and reunite with Aletheia.

Printing in Mirage
Little is known about Basim before he moved to Constantinople and became Loki. That’s why Assassin’s Creed Mirage looks like it will tell us its story as a young man. Baghdad Hiddenthus justifying the absence of some divine abilities acquired by the assassins in the final episodes of the series.
Set in the Iraqi capital between 860 and 870, the story is therefore believable, a city large enough to be divided into several areas as it moves through the countryside.
absence of a few RPG elements As with multiple choice dialogues, the ability to choose the gender of the protagonist and level up is part of the simplification due to the missing link between the Edition and the conscience of the Aesir Loki it hosts. No problem evokes the Eagle’s Eye’s presence, given that Isu’s numerous descendants have managed to wield this power even though they have no direct connections to these ancestral creatures. Likewise, the existence of dream sequences is believable, useful for describing how Loki manifests himself, gradually taking over our character’s body.
