What name does Basim use in Assassin's Creed Mirage?

The story behind the answer

Basim's full name in Assassin's Creed Mirage is Basim Ibn Ishaq. The game follows him as a young street thief in ninth-century Baghdad who joins the Hidden Ones and develops into a trained Assassin.

Mirage is set mainly in Baghdad during the Abbasid Caliphate. Its narrative explores Basim's early life and his relationship with mentors including Roshan, while also connecting his story to events from Assassin's Creed Valhalla, where Basim is an important character.

The name can be confused with Hytham, another Hidden One who appears in Valhalla, or with the game's mentor Roshan. “Ibn” means “son of” in Arabic naming traditions, so the full name is a patronymic rather than a separate codename. The spelling “Ishaq” is the form used in Mirage's English materials.
