{{Quote|I once saw a young woman in the bazaar, brought here from across the sea. From a land far to the north, they said... Such a delicate beauty... eyes like the bluest sky in winter...

The '''mother''' of [[Basim ibn Ishaq]] was a [[Norse people|Norse]] woman brought to the [[Abbasid Caliphate]] as a [[Slavery|slave]], and the wife of Basim's father, [[Ishaq ibn Khalid]].

==Biography==
As a young adult, Basim's mother was captured from her homeland in [[Europe|Northern Europe]] and taken to the Abbasid Caliphate's capital city of [[Samarra]] to be sold as a slave. While at Samarra's bazaar, the [[architect]] Ishaq, struck by her beauty, bought and freed her. The two eventually fell in love and married, with their son Basim being born not long after.<ref name="Vulture's Nest">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[In the Vulture's Nest]]</ref>

However, when Basim was still a young child,<ref name="Ubisoft">{{Ubisoft|url=/en-us/game/assassins-creed/mirage|text=Assassin's Creed Mirage|archivedate=20220912044806}}</ref> his mother caught an unspecified illness, which she succumbed to, leaving Ishaq devastated. Many years later, an elderly and senile Ishaq nonetheless continued to hold cherished memories of his wife, especially her blue eyes and her smile, which he claimed Basim had inherited, hence his name.<ref name="Vulture's Nest"/>
