What is the name of the player character in Assassin's Creed Mirage?

The player character in Assassin's Creed Mirage is Basim Ibn Ishaq.

Mirage, released in 2023, tells Basim's earlier story before his prominent role in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. He begins as a street thief in ninth-century Baghdad and is taken in by the Hidden Ones after meeting the mentor Roshan. His journey leads him from local theft and investigation toward formal membership in the organization.

The game is set mainly in Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age under the Abbasid Caliphate. Its districts, markets, gardens, and historical institutions are designed around the city as a central setting rather than a broad multi-region world.

Basim's identity is connected to major mythology from Valhalla, but Mirage is structured as an origin story for the character players first encountered there. Hytham is another Hidden One in the story, while Roshan is Basim's mentor, so neither is the player character.
