What is the first name of Assassin's Creed Mirage protagonist Basim Ibn Ishaq?

The story behind the answer

The first name of Assassin's Creed Mirage protagonist Basim Ibn Ishaq is Basim.

Basim is the central character of Mirage, which follows his transformation from a street thief in ninth-century Baghdad into a Hidden One. The game is set primarily in Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age, under the Abbasid Caliphate. Basim's mentor is Roshan, and his fellow Hidden One Hytham is an important connection to the broader Assassin's Creed storyline.

Mirage serves as a narrative prequel to Assassin's Creed Valhalla, where Basim is also a major character. The game focuses more strongly on stealth, investigation, parkour, and targeted assassinations than the large role-playing-game structure used by several preceding entries. Basim's full name is Basim Ibn Ishaq, so “Ibn Ishaq” is not a separate character's first name. The title also revisits the historical roots of the Hidden Ones in the Middle East.
