The story featured a character by the name of Abdul Wahid, who embarked on a quest to avenge the death of his parents.<br /> <br /> ==Cancellation==<br /> Issues emerged when descendants of the [[wikipedia:Assassins|original]] [[Assassins]], members of the [[wikipedia:Isma'ilism|Ismaili]] sect currently led by the [[wikipedia:Aga Khan IV|Aga Khan IV]], visited the company offices during the novel's design stage. The visit prompted heavy edits to the novel and later, the editors completely removed all religious references.<br /> <br /> Finally, they required expert advice on the novel's historical accuracy, and requested advice from Aga Khan’s followers. However, by this time publisher [[Ubisoft]] had lost interest in the publication, and the entire project was cancelled.&lt;ref name=&quot;Steven Barnes&quot;&gt;''[http://darkush.blogspot.com/2007/10/why-even-care.html Steven Barnes' blog entry on the book's cancellation]''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Author Barnes included ''The Invisible Imam'' in his non-''[[Assassin's Creed (series)|Assassin's Creed]]'' related book titled ''Assassin and Other Stories''.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *Imam is an Arabic word meaning &quot;Guide.&quot; In {{Wiki|Islam}}, it is the person who leads the prayers at the mosque. For Muslims, it has the additional meaning of referring to the leader of the ummah; an individual who is descended from the Prophet Muhammad (the concept of leadership as well as the line of succession differ among the various Shi'a sects).<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{ACSeries}}<br /> [[Category:Cancelled media|Invisible Imam, The]]</div>
