Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage: Who is Basim? \u2013 Identity explained UbisoftBasim has become one of the most important characters in the Assassin\u2019s Creed franchise thanks to his double identity, but who really is the protagonist of Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage? Here\u2019s the complete explanation. There\u2019s a lot more to Basim in Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage than meets the eye, with his storyline in the long-running series being somewhat mischievous. Basim made his debut in Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla as a mysterious member of the Hidden Ones visiting Scandinavia on a mission for his masters. He would serve as a mentor and friend to Valhalla\u2019s protagonist Eivor, before the truth about his identity would be revealed during the game\u2018s climax. Following this story, AC Mirage serves as a sequel to Valhalla, but it will also retell Basim\u2019s origin story in flashbacks that make up the bulk of the game, which also serves as a prequel to Valhalla and the original Assassin\u2019s Creed game. Most of Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage\u2019s story is still under wraps, but Basim\u2019s true identity was revealed at the end of Valhalla, here\u2019s what you need to know to be up to speed on the story. Who is Basim in Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage? While Basim is a legendary member of the Hidden Ones (Assassin\u2019s order) the character\u2019s history actually predates humanity itself. Basim is simply the name of his reincarnated human form which rose to prominence in the year 861 in Baghdad. However, his original form was that of an Isu noble called Loki whose legend would go on to inspire the trickster god of Norse mythology. In fact, Loki, Odin, and a group of other prominent Isu figures would go on to build the entire Norse pantheon around themselves, just like other Isu\u2019s did with other pantheons of gods. They essentially got humanity to worship them, and this worship continued and became a legend long after the Isu race had been destroyed in an apocalyptic solar flare. Loki was able to cheat death and reincarnate as the human Basim but had no memory of his former life. We expect Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage will explain how Basim learned he was really Loki, as the Basim we meet in Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla is already aware of his Isu heritage and is trying to make Eivor remember that they are the reincarnated Odin. Past, present, and future Loki\u2019s personality starts to become dominant over Basim\u2019s in Valhalla, wanting to bring his children and wife back, and due to an ancient grudge against Odin, attacks Eivor who is able to trap him in an ancient Isu computer, where he remains for centuries. Laya switches places with Basim who finds himself free to move around the world again in the year 2020. Basim realizes that his, Loki\u2019s, and the Assassin\u2019s agendas are all aligned, so he joins forces with Desmond\u2019s father William Miles against his old enemies the Templars, and enters the animus to search his ancient memories. Basim also aims to track down Loki\u2019s missing Isu children. Basim will be the playable character in the present and past segments of Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage, he\u2019ll also be the first character to enter the Animus to explore his own memories. He\u2019ll also be one of the only characters from the ancient world to survive and successfully navigate modern Earth, meaning either as Loki or Basim, the character has existed in three separate time periods of Assassin\u2019s Creed.
