Which character is the protagonist of Assassin's Creed Mirage?

Basim Ibn Ishaq is the protagonist of Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Mirage follows Basim before the events of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, where he appears as an important supporting character. The game traces his development from a street thief in ninth-century Baghdad into a member of the Hidden Ones. His mentor is Roshan, a senior Hidden One who helps him enter the organization.

The central setting is Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age. The city is divided into districts, and the story emphasizes investigation, parkour, stealth, and targeted assassinations. Mirage deliberately returns to a more focused structure than the large role-playing worlds of several recent entries.

Mirage was released in 2023. Basim's name is sometimes shortened to Basim, but Ibn Ishaq is part of his full name. Eivor belongs to Valhalla, while Altaïr and Bayek lead earlier historical storylines.
