	Isn't there a better conjectural name we can come up with for this character? I remember that there was a misconception that we have a standard for disambiguating terms to be the date the individual appears, which is not true at all. I think this misconception began with [[Mentor (2000)]], but in that case, the disambiguating term being a date makes sense because one of the distinguishing traits of the character is that he was the Mentor in 2000. I think that in most cases, such as with this Egyptian Assassin here, using a date as the disambiguating term is quite awkward. So, isn't there a better name we can think of for him? I think even just "Mamluk Assassin" would be better although I don't know if that is misleading.
