Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage ending explained: Who is the Snake? UbisoftAssassin\u2019s Creed Mirage explains Basim\u2019s origins in more detail, but what else is going on in Baghdad? With a string of shocking reveals, here\u2019s the game\u2019s ending explained. Spoilers from the beginning below! Basim\u2019s true identity is revealed at the end of Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla, making a formally heroic character appear to be a villain in disguise, but there\u2019s much more to him than this, which is explored in the Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage ending. While Basim is indeed a committed member of the Hidden Ones\/Assassin\u2019s Order and an enthusiastic killer of Templars in the game, he\u2019s also a reincarnated member of the Isu race and one who became the inspiration for the Norse God Loki. In Valhalla, Loki\/Basim sought revenge on fellow Isu, and Norse God, Odin, and after discovering that the AC Valhalla protagonist Eivor was the reincarnated Odin, tried to kill his old nemesis. However, Eivor got the better of Basim and trapped him in an Isu prison until he was re-discovered by the Assassins in 2020. Basim would then rejoin their ranks and enter the Animus in an attempt to help both their \u2013 and his own \u2013 agendas. Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage: Who is the Snake? Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage shows Basim\u2019s origin story and how the master thief turned Assassin discovered he was secretly a reincarnated Isu. Basim is hunting a mysterious figure known as the Snake throughout Mirage, believing that this figure is a high-ranking member of the Order of Ancients, the precursor to the Templars. He also believes this figure knows about his past and can explain his connection to the Assassins and the Isu. The Snake is revealed to be Qabiha, a former wife of the Caliph whom Basim killed in self-defense when he was a young man. Her son witnessed an Isu artifact activate at Basim\u2019s touch, and after telling his mother, she encourages Basim to seek answers under the Alamut, the stronghold of the Assassins. She is then murdered by Basim\u2019s master Roshan however before she can say anything else. Roshan then warns Basim not to go seeking answers \u2013 on pain of death. Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage: Ending Explained Naturally, Basim ignores Roshan\u2019s order and goes looking for answers beneath the Alamut, defeating but sparing Roshan in battle after she attempts to stop him. However, Roshan is trying to protect Basim, likely understanding a little about the Isu and how their order is heavily connected to the race. She may also understand that those who can wield Isu technology are dangerous. Basim enters the underground temple beneath the Alamut and discovers some ancient Isu technology that looks like a prison. Upon opening a sarcophagus, Basim finds his friend Nehal inside. This reveals that Nehal has been a figment of Basim\u2019s imagination the whole time and represents another aspect of his consciousness that has been locked away \u2013 that being Loki\u2019s personality and memories. Basim merges with his Loki form, with both of them becoming one. Throughout his life, Basim has been haunted by a Djin or \u201cJinni\u201d in his nightmares. This is then revealed to be his original jailor, the Isu and fellow Norse God Odin. Odin had imprisoned Loki for poisoning Baldur (as Loki did in Norse mythology), but Loki was able to use the Isu supercomputer and tree of life, Yggdrasil, to cheat death and be reincarnated as a human, with Nehal translating to \u201cnew tree\u201d in ancient Persian. Basim, now fully aware of his past life, swears revenge on Odin \u2013 if he\u2019s still alive \u2013 and rejoins the Assassins with his newfound knowledge. Roshan resigns in disgust and Basim\u2019s eagle Enkidu rejects and attacks him, recognizing that he\u2019s no longer the Basim he knew and something potentially more sinister. The game ends implying that Basim will travel to Scandinavia, setting up the events of Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla.
