'''Jasdip "Jazz" Dhami''' is a member of the [[Indian Brotherhood of Assassins|Indian 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 [[Isu|First Civilization]].

By 2017, Jasdip defected to the [[Instruments of the First Will]], a cult venerating [[Juno]], and is now fighting against his former brothers.

==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>

===Search for the Koh-i-Noor===
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. Separated 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 barrier, 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>

===Joining the Instruments===
In 2015, Jasdip received a worldwide directive from [[Bishop]], ordering all Assassins to search for [[Álvaro Gramática]]. While making no success in his search, Jasdip passed along his concerns to Bishop regarding her use of the [[Initiates]], reminding that they are still civilians and he knew all too well what happens when civilians get drawn into the Assassin-Templar conflict.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]] - [[Jack the Ripper (DLC)]]''</ref>

In 2017, Jasdip was part of a [[Instruments of the First Will|mysterious group]] which ambushed [[Barindra Mitra]]'s cell in [[Hong Kong]], while the Assassins were breaking into an [[Abstergo Industries]] office in order to find intel about the Templars' [[Phoenix Project]]. All the Assassins were killed, with the exception of [[Charlotte de la Cruz]] who [[Leap of Faith|jumped]] through a window and was pursued by Dhami. As the Assassin fled in a van with the cell's technician, [[Guernica Moneo]], Dhami also jumped into the vehicle and fought with de la Cruz. During their brawl, Moneo, who was driving, was hit by a shuriken launch by another Instrument who was on the roof and lost control of the van. After the crash, Dhami was interrogated by de la Cruz, but the Assassin had to flee before obtaining answers as Moneo fell uncounscious due to his injuries while the authorities were coming to the crash scene.<ref name="Uprising">''[[Assassin's Creed: Uprising]]''</ref>

Later, as [[Kiyoshi Takakura]] and [[Arend Schut Cunningham]] assaulted the campus of [[Abstergo Entertainment]] in [[Montreal]] to kidnap [[Felix Oladele]], a specialist of the Animus, they encountered Dhami. After dispatching several Abstergo guards, the two Assassins entered Oladele's office, only to discover Dhami holding his severed head. A fight ensued, during which Dhami seriously injured the Japanese to the neck and was about to finish Arend when Kiyoshi shot him in the back. Standing on a window cleaners mobile platform, Dhami then fell from the building onto a cleaner's mobile.<ref name="Uprising"/>

==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 {{Wiki|Guru Granth Sahib}}, meaning "light of the lord's glory". The more common pan-Indian name "Yashdeep" is its cognate; both names ultimately derive from the Sanskrit words ''yasha'', meaning "fame, 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.
