A common first impression of Basim is a mixture of danger and intrigue. Soon thereafter, one might get the senses of someone thinking several moves ahead. In fact, he is likely playing an entirely different game.

Basim met Sigurd Styrbjornson on the same day he received a contract for a prominent player from the prince's homeland. He knew the gods had favored him, but he didn't care which.

As mysterious and seemingly aloof as the shadowy brotherhood he represents, Basim's ultimate goal is unknown even to his protégé, Hytham, who is closer to him than anyone still living.
