Background
"The subject of your attention, the Husam known as Yasbir, plays a prominent part in the spurious history-slash-mythos of the Hassassin Society. A killer, a teacher, a philosopher, a counselor… Do not let any of these identities distract you from the one reality about Yasbir we can unmistakably confirm: that he is a Husam, a special agent of the Hassassin Society. Tracking him down is nigh impossible. No amount of effort will put you within striking distance of him. It will be he who approaches you but, by the time you realize something is wrong, his blade will be lodged between your ribs."
-Dr Michelle Clarkson, assistant director of the Haqqislam Section of the Hexahedron Intelligence Analysis Service. Location classified.
If misinformation is a way of life for the Hassassins,
then the Husam, Yasbir, is the one example who
epitomises that lifestyle. A living spectre, an enig-
matic myth, a ghost story to terrorise new recruits
in the secret services of opposing nations. Yasbir
doesn’t just espouse the principals of deception, he
wrote the book on them.
Rumours insist that Yasbir’s involvement with the
Hassassins can be traced back to their founding in
the wake of Farhad Khadivar’s murder. There are
even those who say that Yasbir was the first Fiday,
that he was the one to orchestrate the campaign of
vengeance against Khalaf ibn Ahmad. Some reports
place Yasbir on the Hassassin’s inner council, the
Old Man’s right hand there to ensure the hardest
tasks are successfully completed. A few go as far as
to say that Yasbir is the Old Man of the Mountain,
hiding in plain sight and taunting his enemies.
Regardless of the truth, which will almost certainly
never be known, Yasbir is without doubt the preeminent Husam—those deadly special agents of the
Hassassin society. Yasbir’s knowledge, wit, and
intellect are also renowned away from the subterfuge arena, where he is credited with an insightful
knowledge of the Haqqislam doctrine. He is also
known to harbour a mischievous temperament that
can be surgically aimed to rouse a response, as
the Odalisques have recently discovered, much to
their chagrin.[1]
Quotes
"The sixth Subtlety, Ikhfa, is that of the medicine-person,
the one who has the knowledge to heal but also to kill
quickly and compassionately. It's the Subtlety that helps
to identify weaknesses in any person or system and to
repair or exploit them. It's the critical skill of the operative
tasked with saving the mission, the one to whom Allah
Himself can entrust the salvation of the Search for
Knowledge."
