Ahmad Sofian (died 1176) was Abbas' father and a member of the Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins.
Biography[edit | edit source]
During the siege of Masyaf in 1176, Ahmad was tasked with infiltrating the Saracen encampment. However, he was captured and forced to give up the name of the Assassin—Umar Ibn-La'Ahad—who had infiltrated Saladin's personal tent and killed a nobleman during his escape that same night. Ahmad was nearly put to death until Umar stood up to take his place. After he was brought back into the fortress of Masyaf, Umar's son Altaïr blamed Ahmad for his father's death.[1]
With Ahmad having contracted a fever in the Saracen camp, he later spent his time crying out Umar's name while Abbas treated him. Some time after, in remorse over Umar's death, Ahmad entered Umar's home, spoke his apologies to Altaïr, and then committed suicide by slitting his throat with a dagger. Altaïr immediately ran to Al Mualim and told him what had occurred.[1]
In response, Al Mualim bid Altaïr to keep quiet about what he had seen, and later told his fellow Assassins that Ahmad had ran away to prevent Abbas from being judged for his father's shame. Abbas later developed an intense hatred for Altaïr once he learned the truth surrounding the circumstances of Ahmad's death, and it culminated in his coup d'état of the Assassins' Mentorship in 1225.[1]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
In the mid-19th century, the young British Assassin Evie Frye studied records of the Brotherhood and read about Ahmad Sofian's death, which she later compared to the suicide of the Indian Assassin Ajay, who had similarly betrayed the Creed and killed himself out of shame.[2]
