	===Etymology===		===Etymology===
	The name Qabiha ([[wikt:قبيحة#Arabic\|قبيحة]]) ''qabīḥa'' is the feminine singular of ([[wikt:قبيح#Arabic\|قَبِيح‎]]) ''qabīḥ'' which translates to "ugly", "vile", "bad", "abominable." Her Order cryptonym, Al-Bahamut (البهاموت), is a reference to the ~~{{Wiki\|Bahamut\|~~giant fish of the same name}} from {{Wiki\|Cosmology in medieval Islam\|medieval Islamic cosmography}}, which was said to serve as one of the layers that support the Earth. Above the fish stands a bull called {{Wiki\|Kujata (bull)\|Kuyootà}}, on the bull, a "[[ruby]]" rock, and on the rock an angel that shoulders the Earth. The Bahamut is suspended in water for its own stability and below it is the colossus serpentine {{Wiki\|Falak (Arabian legend)\|Falak}}.<ref>{{WP\|Bahamut}}</ref>		The name Qabiha ([[wikt:قبيحة#Arabic\|قبيحة]]) ''qabīḥa'' is the feminine singular of ([[wikt:قبيح#Arabic\|قَبِيح‎]]) ''qabīḥ'' which translates to "ugly", "vile", "bad", "abominable."

	Alone, Qabiha hid herself in a secret chamber within the Palace, with Makira's help. However, Basim determined the code needed to unlock the passage to her room, which was based on [[Arib Al-Ma'muniyya]]'s poetry, and confronted the Ra's Al-Af'a.
