'''Jasdip "Jazz" Dhami''' is a member of the [[India]]n [[Indian Assassins|Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]], and the brother of [[Siobhan Dhami]]. In 2013, the siblings were tasked with locating the [[Koh-i-Noor]] diamond, a relic from the times of the [[First Civilization]].

==Biography==
Born into a family that had been affiliated with the Assassins for many generations, both Jasdip and his sister Siobhan became loyal members of the Brotherhood. In contrast to his tech-oriented sister, Jasdip was a consummate biker with dreams of being a superstar.<ref name="ACEC">''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]</ref>

During the latter stages of 2013, Jasdip and his sister were tasked with finding the Koh-i-Noor, a [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] that had been hidden by the Assassin [[Arbaaz Mir]] in the 19th century. Their research eventually led the two to [[Jot Soora]], a test programmer at [[MysoreTech]] that had told Siobhan he was the descendant of a [[Sikh Empire]] Assassin; however, he refused to make contact with Siobhan again afterwards. After procuring his "[[Brahman V.R.]]", the Dhami siblings followed Jot to [[Mumbai]], where they coerced him into coming with them.<ref name="Brahman">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brahman]]''</ref>

[[File:ACBM Jasdip Interrogation.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Jasdip interrogating Jot]]
Taking him to a safehouse, Jasdip questioned Jot on the location of the Koh-i-Noor, informing the test programmer that the [[Templars]] were combing India for individuals linked to the diamond. As their captive was unable to answer, they forced Jot to relive his memories through the Brahman device. However, it soon became clear to Siobhan that Jot had lied to her, with his ancestry possessing no trace of either Arbaaz Mir's or Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]]'s bloodlines.<ref name="Brahman"/>

Soon after, [[Abstergo Industries|Abstergo]] operatives launched an attack on the safehouse, with the less combat-experienced Siobhan being killed in the ensuing battle. Jasdip fought off the first group of assailants, following which he cut off one of his sister's fingers to preserve her DNA for the Brotherhood. He and Jot then fled to the roof of the building, where they decided to rappel down the side of the building together; as Jasdip did so, he remotely triggered Siobhan's [[Hidden Blade]] to detonate.<ref name="Brahman"/>

The resulting explosion wiped out their pursuers, but also caused Jot, who had been hanging onto Jasdip, to lose his grip and fall down into the slums. Seperated from each other by the blast, the Assassin tracked down Jot, who had managed to reunite with his fiancée [[Monima Das]], though the pair was kidnapped shortly thereafter by Abstergo agents. Jasdip mounted a rescue attempt, jumping on the Templars' van and then hurling himself onto one of the escorts' motorbikes.<ref name="Brahman"/>

After taking out the escorts, Jasdip shot one of the van's tires, causing the driver to lose control and crash through the highway's safety barier, plunging the vehicle into the {{Wiki|Mithi River}}. Diving after it, the Assassin managed to free Jot, but Monima remained trapped in the sinking van and perished in the Bay of Mumbai. Jasdip then brought Jot to another Assassin safehouse hidden in the [[Chor Bazaar]], where he reported on the failure of his mission to [[Dinesh]].<ref name="Brahman"/>

While Jasdip and Dinesh debated on what to do next, Jot began playing a recording of Monima, which led the two Assassins to discover that she had been a descendant of Princess [[Pyara Kaur]], whose memories revealed the whereabouts of the Koh-i-Noor. As Dinesh copied the genetic data and searched for a way to wipe it off the [[Abstergo Cloud]], Jasdip prepared for the incoming assault of Abstergo operatives. When the Templars launched their attack, Dinesh was killed immediately, leaving Jot to flee while Jasdip bought him time.<ref name="Brahman"/> After taking out several assailants, Jasdip also made his escape.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>

==Personality and characteristics==
{{Quote|Fuck him. We don't have time for this. We've all lost people today.|Jasdip expressing his frustration at Jot's grief over losing Monima, 2013.|Assassin's Creed: Brahman}}
[[File:ACBM_Jasdip_Combat.jpg|thumb|180px|Jasdip fighting the Abstergo soldiers]]
Unlike his sister, Jasdip was a fairly gruff individual that remained level-headed and focused on his mission at all times, eschewing sentimentality. This attitude led him to save Jot's life on multiple occasions, despite resenting the test programmer for lying about his heritage and indirectly causing Siobhan's demise. Still, Jasdip had little sympathy for Jot's grief over Monima's death, as it interfered with the Assassins' operations.<ref name="Brahman"/>

===Equipment and skills===
An action-oriented Assassin, Jasdip was well-versed in the art of close combat, being able to take out several heavily-armed Abstergo operatives by himself through the use of acrobatics and brute strength. As well as this, he was skilled in the use of [[firearms]] and could drive a motorcycle.<ref name="Brahman"/>

Jasdip also possessed a [[Hidden Blade]], but seemed to prefer other tactics in combat as he scarcely used it. His Assassin gear was referred to as a "slip-suit", a sleeveless white outfit that was meant to give him a stealth advantage, though the Templars could combat this with advanced optics. Usually, Jasdip wore a hooded combat vest over it for better protection.<ref name="Brahman"/>

==Trivia==
*Jasdip is mainly a [[Sikh]] name which comes from [[Guru Granth Sahib|Shri Guru Granth Sahib]], meaning "light of the lord's glory". More common pan-Indian name "Yashdeep" is its cognate. These ultimately derive from Sanskrit words "Yasha" meaning 'Fame or Glory' and "Deep" meaning 'Light'.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'', Jasdip is referred to as "Jhadsip" by [[Juhani Otso Berg]].
*Although a body wearing similar clothes to Jasdip's can be seen laying at the feet of Otso Berg at the end of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brahman]]'', an audio file in ''Assassin's Creed: Rogue'' confirmed he managed to survive the attack and escape.

Arbaaz Mir

'''Arbaaz Mir''' was a {{Wiki|Kashmiri people|Kashmiri}} member of the [[Indian Assassins|Indian Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]] during the 19th century, at the start of the [[Sikh Empire]]. He is an ancestor to [[Monima Das]] and the father of [[Henry Green|Jayadeep Mir]], an Assassin operating in [[London]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
{{Quote|Your people in Kashmir suffered a great tragedy, my friend. But those days have long passed and Singh's strength is all that stands between India and the growing British power.|Hamid to Arbaaz, about Singh's actions, 1839.|Assassin's Creed: Brahman}}
Arbaaz Mir was born in {{Wiki|Kashmir}} in northwestern [[India]] during the early 19th century to a {{Wiki|Muslim}} family. His home region was conquered by Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]] of the Sikh Empire in 1819, leading to the death of numerous Muslims in Kashmir, including some of Arbaaz's kin. This led Arbaaz to grow up with a resentment towards Singh, considering him a cold-blooded killer.<ref name="EC">''[[Assassin's Creed: Encyclopedia]]''</ref>

At some point, Arbaaz was involved in a meeting gone wrong, and was rescued by [[Hamid (Amritsar)|Hamid]], the local [[Mentor]] of the Assassin Brotherhood. Indebted to the man, Arbaaz became an Assassin.<ref name="EC"/>

===Search for the Koh-i-Noor===
{{Dialogue|Hamid|Arbaaz. Take care. The diamond... The transcription reads: 'He who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only '''God''', or a woman, can wear it with impunity.|Arbaaz|I don't believe in curses.|Hamid and Arbaaz, before the latter's departure, 1839.|Assassin's Creed: Brahman}}
[[File:ACBM-Arbaaz and Hamid.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Arbaaz and Hamid with the map]]
In 1839, Hamid tasked Arbaaz with the recovery of a [[Voynich manuscript|map]] detailing [[First Civilization]] artifacts, most notably the [[Koh-i-Noor]] diamond, a powerful [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]]. Upon his safe return to the Assassin headquarters in [[Amritsar]], Hamid informed Arbaaz of the legend surrounding the Koh-i-Noor, and that the British [[Templars]] were attempting to obtain the artifact. The Koh-i-Noor had been in the possession of Ranjit Singh since 1830, who kept it safe from the hands of his enemies, but was nearing the end of his life.<ref name="Brahman">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brahman]]''</ref>

As Singh's heirs were not as interested in the diamond as their father, the British Templars aimed to take Singh's life. Hamid tasked Arbaaz with ensuring the Maharaja's protection, an objective he reluctantly agreed to, but only for the sake of the Brotherhood. Before leaving, Arbaaz bought Hamid's slave [[Raza Soora]] from him, noticing the harsh treatment the boy was receiving from Hamid.<ref name="Brahman"/>

Arbaaz instead intended to find the Koh-i-Noor himself ahead of the Templars. Taking up the disguise of an emissary from Kashmir and his servant, Arbaaz and Raza entered [[Ranjit Singh's summer palace]], where the Maharaja held a feast. Believing the Koh-i-Noor to be kept in a hidden chamber underneath the palace, Arbaaz told Raza to look out for Singh's treasure keeper, Bustee Ram.<ref name="Brahman"/>

[[File:ACBM-Arbaaz and Macnaghten.jpg|thumb|250px|Arbaaz meeting Macnaghten and Cotton]]
After being allowed to join the feast, Arbaaz was greeted by [[William Hay Macnaghten]], assistant to the British Governor-General of India – Lord Auckland – and General [[Francis Cotton]]. Arbaaz recognized the [[Templar insignia]] on Cotton's chest, though Cotton also identified Arbaaz as an Assassin by his movements. After Macnaghten left, Arbaaz assured Cotton that they were not enemies, telling the Templar that he had his own reasons for Singh's death, and that "it wouldn't be the first time [he had] to clean up after [their] kind".<ref name="Brahman"/>

Soon after, Arbaaz's attention was caught by Princess [[Pyara Kaur]], Ranjit Singh's grand-daughter. Upon noticing Singh handing Bustee a diamond, Arbaaz told Raza to follow him and that he would find him later, deciding instead to follow Pyara. Arbaaz then tracked her to the palace courtyard, handing her a {{Wiki|Nerium|oleander}} blossom that he had swiped from the palace's dining room. As a result of the conversation that stemmed from the gesture, the two later shared a moment of intimacy.<ref name="Brahman"/>

[[File:ACBM-Arbaaz Tosha Khana.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Arbaaz and Raza in the hidden chambers]]
Afterwards, Arbaaz proceeded to find Raza and follow him to the hidden chambers underneath the palace, which was activated by a water-based mechanism. Exploring the caverns filled with statues of {{Wiki|Hindu}} gods, Arbaaz found a chest containing the diamond, but quickly dismissed it as a worthless replica. Upon further exploration, they stumbled upon illusionary walls and other statues left by the First Civilization.<ref name="Brahman"/>

There, Raza found the real Koh-i-Noor in a pool of water contained within the hands of the statue [[Durga]]; unbeknownst to them, their progress had been tracked by Cotton. Upon their return to ground level, Arbaaz was arrested by Singh's men, who had been alerted by Cotton and Macnaghten. It was at this point that Arbaaz hid the real Koh-i-Noor under Raza's turban, enabling the latter to escape with the artifact, while Singh's men took the replica.<ref name="Brahman"/>

===Conflict with Cotton===
Singh's men placed Arbaaz in a cell, though some time later, Pyara Kaur and Raza Soora came to see him. It was during this meeting that Pyara released him from his imprisonment, after Arbaaz told her his task of ensuring her grandfather's safety.<ref name="Brahman"/>

To Arbaaz's surprise and disapproval, Raza had given the Koh-i-Noor to Pyara, thwarting his plan to escape with the artifact and leave the Maharaja to fend for himself. After Pyara informed Arbaaz that Singh was drinking tea with the British, Arbaaz and Raza hurried to the imperial palace, the former begrudgingly so.<ref name="Brahman"/>

[[File:ACBM Singh Cotton.jpg|thumb|250px|Arbaaz and Singh facing Cotton]]
Scaling the structure, Arbaaz eliminated the patrolling guards as Raza stayed close behind, at one point turning back to prevent Raza from falling to his death. The two then separated, with Arbaaz infiltrating the palace's interior by leaping into the main hall from above, knocking Macnaghten over upon his landing and attacking Cotton with a {{Wiki|chakram}}.<ref name="Brahman"/>

Following this, Arbaaz roughly slapped the tea cup from Singh's hands, perceiving that it was poisoned; despite this, Cotton informed Arbaaz that he was too late to prevent the Maharaja's demise. Responding in his weakened state, Singh took out his blade to attack Cotton, calling the Templar a "coward" and "deceiver", while further going on to state that India would not fall to his Order. Cotton instead called the guards, yelling that the Maharaja was under attack by an assassin – Arbaaz.<ref name="Brahman"/>

Arbaaz fled the hall, followed by Cotton and Singh's men as he made his way to the courtyard. There, while Arbaaz was fighting imperial guards, Cotton tried to kill Pyara and take the Koh-i-Noor, but was halted by Raza, who dug his fingernails into the Templar's forehead. As Cotton turned on Raza, Pyara activated the Koh-i-Noor, taking up the appearance of a member of the First Civilization, sending a message for [[Humans|humanity]] to [[Jot Soora]], who was experiencing Arbaaz's genetic memories through the [[Brahman V.R.]] in 2013.<ref name="Brahman"/>

[[File:ACBM-Koh-i-Noor destruction.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Arbaaz and Raza emerging from the water]]
Cotton instead attacked the entity, firing at it with his gun, and accidentally destroyed the Koh-i-Noor. Seeing the entity become enraged, Arbaaz took Raza and dove into the water, before the entity released a burst of energy across the area, killing Cotton and all the remaining guards.<ref name="Brahman"/>

===The Sikh Empire in turmoil===
In 1841, two years after Singh's murder, relations between the Sikh Empire and the British Empire became tense as the pretenders for the title of Maharaja battled for supremacy. During that period of turmoil, Arbaaz was tasked with recovering the Koh-i-Noor originally belonging to the Assassins but then in possession of a newly arrived [[Master Templar]]. While investigating the matter, the Indian Assassin also tried to protect his friends and lover from harm.<ref>[http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-US/games/chronicles/trilogy.aspx Assassinscreed.com]</ref>

==Legacy==
In 1843, Arbaaz and Pyara Kaur had a son, Jayadeep Mir,<ref name="ACS">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref> and eventually became the ancestor of a popular actress active at the beginning of the 21st century, Monima Das. The fiancé of Das, Jot Soora, became a target of the Templars and the Assassins when they mistakenly believed that the man's DNA was the key to the lost knowledge of the Koh-i-Noor, when he unknowingly used an Abstergo prototype to visualize the ancestral memories of Arbaaz Mir's descendant.<ref name="Brahman"/>

==Trivia==
*''Arbaaz'' in {{Wiki|Urdu}} means "[[Eagles|eagle]]", while ''{{Wiki|Mir clan|Mir}}'' is a {{Wiki|Kashmiri people|Kashmiri}} clan or tribe between present day India and Pakistan. ''{{Wiki|Mir (title)|Mir}}'' is also a loanword from the {{Wiki|Arabic language|Arabic}} ''emir, amir'', and thus has the meaning of "leader, commander, prince" in aforementioned places.
*Arbaaz was the only known Assassin to wield a [[Hidden Blade]] which could divide itself into three blades.
*Arbaaz was one of the individuals who possessed the ability to use [[Eagle Vision]].
