	By the mid-9th century, the Hidden Ones had established a strong presence in the Abbasid Caliphate, operating primarily out of their headquarters at [[Alamut]].

	In 861, Roshan, by now a [[Master Assassin]], recruited the young thief [[Basim ~~Ibn~~ Ishaq]] in [[Anbar]] and brought him to Alamut for training. Roshan had deduced Basim was secretly the [[Reborn Isu\|reborn form]] of an Isu following his theft of a [[Memory Seals\|Memory Seal]] from the [[Winter Palace, Anbar\|Winter Palace]], during which he inadvertently killed the Caliph [[Al-Mutawakkil]] and activated the artifact.

	After Basim completed his training, he was sent to Baghdad alongside Roshan, Fuladh, and other Hidden Ones to combat the Order's influence in the city. As Basim assassinated various Order members, who were searching for Isu relics in and around Baghdad, he rose in the Brotherhood's ranks and eventually became a Master Assassin. However, during a confrontation with the Order's leader [[Qabiha]], Basim was made aware of his nature as a reborn Isu and was informed of a [[Alamut Temple\|temple]] underneath Alamut.<ref name="ACMir"/>		After Basim completed his training, he was sent to Baghdad alongside Roshan, Fuladh, and other Hidden Ones to combat the Order's influence in the city.

	Upon connecting herself to the machine, Layla entered [[the Grey]] and met Basim ~~Ibn~~ Ishaq, who had been trapped in the simulation for over a millennia. Basim revealed that he had sent the signal with the coordinates of Eivor's remains to the Assassins and showed Layla how to save the planet. However, in doing so, Layla doomed herself, as her consciousness remained trapped in the Grey for eternity. After meeting "[[Desmond Miles\|the Reader]]", Layla decided to help him analyze numerous [[calculations]] to find ways of preventing future disasters, and sent a final message to Shaun and Rebecca, telling them not to worry about her, as she had made peace with her choice.<ref name="ACV"/>		Upon connecting herself to the machine, Layla entered [[the Grey]] and met Basim ibn Ishaq, who had been trapped in the simulation for over a millennia.

	Layla's sacrifice also inadvertently allowed Basim to escape the Grey. This was in accordance to the plan formulated by Loki and Aletheia, the latter of whom had her consciousness stored in the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus, which Basim used to rejuvenate his body. After musing at having a whole new world ahead of them, Basim travelled to New England to meet Shaun and Rebecca.

Hoping to stop the program, they discovered that the program's failsafe code was tied to a counterfeited coin from the Great Recoinage of 1696 that had come in possession of the Assassin Omar Khaled. Gavin located Khaled's descendant, [[Aliyah Khan]], in London and persuaded her to help the Assassins in exchange for financing her studies by giving her the money that Aliyah's former business partner [[Jarrod Eubanks]] had stolen from her.<ref name="ACG"/>

	Aliyah explored Omar's memories in the Animus, and Gavin and My'shell slowly revealed details about Abstergo and their plans to her. Eventually, they were forced to stop and flee after they detected Templars near their vicinity. Leaving the Animus behind, they evaded the Templars and relocated to the [[London Zoo]]. To gain access to another Animus, they decided to disguise themselves as cleaners and infiltrate the London office of [[ExploreDNA]], an Abstergo subsidiary that examined people's DNA. Using a VR Animus, Aliyah continued exploring her ancestor's memories until she discovered the inscription written on her ancestor's counterfeited key, "''Je maintaindrai''".<ref name="ACG"/>		Aliyah explored Omar's memories in the Animus, and Gavin and My'shell slowly revealed details about Abstergo and their plans to her.

	My'shell, in the meantime, discovered that Eubanks' money was handled ~~personally~~ by [[Abstergo Financial Group\|Abstergo Financial]] CEO [[Agneta Reider]], and that Aliyah's father [[Fahad Khan]], who she believed to have been dead for ten years, was her employee. Fahad ~~Khan~~ stormed the ExploreDNA building and managed to capture Gavin. With the help of the ExploreDNA AI, based on Shaun Hastings, they located Agneta Reider and stole her watch, which they exchanged for Gavin's location at [[Newton ~~Analytica]] in [[~~Cambridge]].
