Which Assassin's Creed game stars Basim Ibn Ishaq as its main protagonist?

Assassin's Creed Mirage stars Basim Ibn Ishaq as its main protagonist.

The game is set in ninth-century Baghdad and follows Basim before he becomes the Hidden One seen in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. He begins as a street thief and joins the Hidden Ones, training under Roshan while investigating a mysterious organization known as the Order of the Ancients.

Mirage was designed as a more focused action-adventure experience than the large role-playing games immediately before it. Its structure emphasizes stealth, parkour, investigation, and targeted assassinations across a dense historical city. The setting also draws on Baghdad's importance during the Islamic Golden Age.

Basim's earlier appearance in Valhalla can cause confusion about which game belongs to his personal origin story. Valhalla presents him as a major supporting figure, while Mirage makes his transformation and past the central narrative.
