The '''Robbers of Al-Ula''' were a group of thieves active in [[Al-Ula Valley]] in the 860s. Though some believed they were led by local criminal [['Abis]], its real leader was actually the merchant [[Nimlot]].<ref name= "Tracks">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[Tracks in the Desert]]</ref> The group began by stealing from passing caravans, though soon expanded to stealing from the people living in Al-Ula and even the dead. At their height, not even the [[Abbasid Caliphate|Caliphate]] [[soldiers]] dared to move against them,<ref name= "DB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[Database: Robbers]]</ref> since the few who attempted to intervene met with grisly fates.<ref name= "The Ones Who Remain">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[The Ones Who Remain]]</ref> Basim ibn Ishaq, who had arrived in Al-Ula seeking his father [[Ishaq ibn Khalid]], first happened upon the group by happenstance,<ref name= "The Ones Who Remain"/> but later actively opposed them, leading to the deaths of the group's leaders.<ref name= "The Heart of Corruption">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[The Heart of Corruption]]</ref><ref name= "In the Vulture's Nest">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[In the Vulture's Nest]]</ref>
