	Since at least 861, the Zanj rebels were secretly supported by the [[Hidden Ones of Alamut]].

	In late 861, Ali's men learned about a chest containing an [[Memory Seals\|artifact]] sought by the Hidden Ones, which was to be delivered to the Caliph [[al-Mutawakkil]].

	While Basim conducted his own investigation, Ali captured and [[Interrogation\|interrogated]] an Abbasid [[soldier]] for information, despite both Basim and Beshi's protests against his methods. In the end, Ali and Basim were able to learn of a [[Dogan's Farm\|farm]] belonging to the Abbasid captain [[Dogan bin Arslan]], where the captured Zanj rebels were taken to be killed.

	Following Dogan's death, Basim recovered a note from his body revealing that the captain answered to [[Jasoor ibn Basil]] and [[Nadir ibn Havid]], two Turkic commanders and members of the Order.

	During their infiltration, Basim and Ali witnessed Beshi's execution at Wasif~~'s hands~~ and freed the other Zanj rebels held inside the garrison, who fought Wasif's guards as a distraction to allow Basim to reach the warlord's quarters and assassinate him.

 ==Behind the scenes==
-Despite being depicted as a focal conflict in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'', the Zanj Rebellion did not start until after the period covered by the game and never reached as far north as Baghdad. The fighting did reach Jarjaraya with the Zanj taking control of the city which is featured on the game map but this was in 879 rather than the mid 860s.
