Biography
Born into an affluent family somewhere apart from Baghdad, Rebekah was raised in an opulent environment that required strict social etiquette and decorum.[4] In her own words, she found this lifestyle "suffocating" and rebelled against it.[1][4] One day, she ventured beyond the gates of her community and witnessed the hardships of society outside her sheltered upbringing. She encountered inequities on a scale that significantly marred her view of the world, and she was revolted by the pervasive exploitation of the less privileged by those with greater wealth and power like her very peers. Resolving to leave behind her home forever, she set herself on a trajectory that eventually led to her joining the Hidden Ones in Alamut.[4]
By 862, Rebekah had become the blacksmith of Alamut. That February, she forged a sword and an accompanying parrying dagger for a new recruit, Basim Ibn Ishaq, on the orders of his master Roshan. The new weapons were a surprise to Basim when he brought the leather strips for the dagger hilt to Rebekah as instructed, and they also signified his progress from wooden training swords.[5]
Personality and traits
- Basim: "As-salamu 'alaikum (Peace be upon you), Rebekah!"
- Rebekah: "Wa 'alaikum as-salam (And peace be upon you), Basim. What a slow and boring day..."
- Basim: "Did you not know that I have been called to be initiated?"
- Rebekah: "Oh? We are really initiating anyone now!"
- —Rebekah teasing Basim, 860s.[src]-[m]
Already in her childhood, Rebekah's individualistic spirit made conformity into the rigorous demands of upper-class society difficult.[1][4] Where there were constraints on how she presented herself, whether in dress or in social interactions, she felt suppressed in her ability to express herself while the luxuries of privilege failed to give her fulfillment.[4] Instead, she found the extravagance superficial. Her discontent laid the seeds for her personal rebellion against the trappings of aristocratic life, compelling her to seek out the world beyond.[1][4]
Her exposure to the abuses marginalized peoples had to endure in their everyday lives forever altered her perspective.[1] To her, their experiences and not those of her upbringing's exclusive bubble were what spoke to the realities of the world.[4] Notwithstanding this, she felt complicit in systemic injustice by her very position in the social hierarchy and no pride in having been born into wealth.[1] All these qualities of her character pushed her to defy that system and her place in it. Her determination was so strong that she never harboured any regrets about forsaking the comforts of her childhood home for the Hidden Ones.[4]
