			Meanwhile, in his father's absence, Basim grew up an orphan on the streets of [[Baghdad]],<ref>{{Ubisoft\|url=en-us/game/assassins-creed/mirage\|text=Assassin's Creed Mirage\|archivedate=20220912044806}}</ref> believing Ishaq did not want him around and struggling with feelings of abandonment.<ref name="The Ones Who Remain"/> Despite this, he continued to hold cherished memories of his father, seeing Ishaq as someone who had "''dedicated his life to the betterment of his people... only to be slighted and forgotten.''"<ref name="Master Thief"/>

			===Reunion with Basim===
			{{Quote\|Tell my little Basim... Tell him one day, when his time comes, we will be together again. Until then, he has a life to live... Tell him that, if you see him.\|Ishaq's parting words to Basim, 860s.\|Assassin's Creed: Mirage\|In the Vulture's Nest}}
			By the 860s, the elderly Ishaq had become senile and forgotten much of his past.<ref name="Vulture's Nest"/> At some point, he made a tile painting depicting him and his son in front of their old house in Samarra, which was later stolen by a [[gang]] of [[Bandit\|robbers]] that had recently begun plaguing the region. After being purchased by a traveling {{wiki\|Bedouin}} [[merchant]], the painting eventually came into the possession of Dervis, who in turn showed it to Basim.<ref name="Valley of Memory">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[Valley of Memory (memory)\|Valley of Memory]]</ref>

			Believing this was a sign that his father was still alive, Basim embarked on a journey to al-Ula alongside Dervis to find Ishaq and achieve closure over his past.<ref name="Valley of Memory"/> By the time he managed to track down Ishaq, however, his father had been abducted by the robbers<ref name="House of Memories"/> on the orders of their leader, [[Nimlot]],<ref name="Tracks in the Desert">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[Tracks in the Desert]]</ref> who sought to enact revenge on Basim for [[Assassination\|assassinating]] his own father, [[Mas'ood Al-Ya'qoob]].<ref name="Vulture's Nest"/>

			Taken to Nimlot's base of operations at the [[Roman Fort]], Ishaq was eventually rescued by Basim, who killed Nimlot before the latter could murder his father. After freeing Ishaq, however, Basim was dismayed to discover his father's severe cognitive decline, which prevented him from recognizing his son. In fact, he did not remember any details of his life after his exile and still believed himself to be in Samarra. As the two took a walk through the desert near al-Ula, Ishaq recounted what few details he remembered of his past to Basim, including the love he held for both his late wife and son.<ref name="Vulture's Nest"/>

	As Basim decided against revealing his identity to his father, Ishaq expressed hope that his young son would grow into a fine man and that they would be reunited one day, but until then, they both had their own lives to live. With that, an oblivious Ishaq parted ways with Basim for the final time, walking alone into the desert.<ref name="Vulture's Nest"/>		As Basim decided against revealing his identity to his father, Ishaq expressed hope that his young son would grow into a fine man and that they would be reunited one day, but until then, they both had their own lives to live.

			Around 874, during his travels in [[England]] with the [[Vikings\|Viking]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], Basim again reminisced of his father, mentioning his construction of Samarra's Great Mosque and his exile.
