Darim Ibn-La'Ahad (born 1193) was a member of the Assassin Order and the first son of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, the Grand MAster of the Assassin Order and Maria Thorpe. Later he became the brother to Sef Ibn-La'Ahad, Altaïr and Maria's second son.
Early Life
Darim was born in Masyaf in 1193, where he was raised by his parents, who trained him in the ways of the Assassins. Over time, Darim developed into an expert crossbowman.
Journey to Mongolia
By 1217, Genghis Khan's empire was expanding rapidly from the east, and was slowly the progress of the Assassin Order. In addition to this, Darim's father believed the the Khan held a Piece of Eden known as The Sword. Thus, Darim and his parents left immediately to kill the Khan, while his younger brother Sef remained in Masyaf to care for his wife and children, and Altaïr's right-hand man, Malik Al-Sayf, was placed in charge of the Order until their return.
By 1227, they had reached Mongolia and met with one of the local assassins, Qulan Gal, who infiltrated the Khan's camp with Altaïr, though Darim's now elderly father had lost his stealth in his old age, and was detected by one of the guards, who was able to significantly injure him before being killed by Qulan Gal. Qulan Gal helped Altaïr to escape the camp, and formulated a new plan.
Realising the threat to his life, Geghis Khan tried to flee on horseback, just as Qulan Gal had hoped. The Mongolian Assassin shot down the Khan's horse, while Darim finished the Khan himself off with his crossbow. Successful, Darim and his parents returned home.
Return to Masyaf
Later in 1227, Darim and his parents made it back to Masyaf, only to be greeted by a former Assassin apprentice named Swami. Swami told them that the member of the Order who was supposed to be greeting the family on their return home, Rauf, had died of fever during their abscence, and that Malik had been arrested by the new leader of the Order, Abbas Sofian. Swami told Darim that his brother Sef had retreated with his family to Alamut, at which point Darim volunteered to retrieve his brother.
Life in Alamut
Some time after arriving in Alamut, he met with his sister-in-law and nephews, only to be told that Sef was dead, he had been supposedly killed by Malik in 1225. Darim chose to stay in Alamut, and was joined by his father later in 1227.
Altaïr told Darim that in Masyaf, Abbas had staged a coup in 1225 and taken over the Order, before framing Malik for Sef's murder, which Swami had commited. He said that he had successfully freed Malik, only for the man to be murdered by Swami shortly after. After this, Altaïr and Maria had confronted Abbas, who made public Altaïr's infiltration of the prison, causing a decimation in the older Assassin's support. Demanding the Apple from him, Abbas sent Swami to retrieve it. Before Swami retrieved the Apple, he told Altaïr that in his final moments he had told Sef that Altaïr had ordered his killing. Altaïr's rage manifested itself in the Apple, and when Swami touched it, he went insane, mutilating himself first with his hands, then pulling out his knife and stabbing himself. In his frenzy, he killed Darim's mother. Feeling insecure, Altaïr fled instead of confronting Abbas.
Darim spent most of the next 20 years living with his father, sister-in-law and nephews, until eventually, his sister-in-law took her children to live in Alexandria. Later, Darim himself was driven away from Alamut by his father's state of depression and his renewed obsession with the Apple. Darim departed to France and later England to warn of the advancing threat of the Mongol Empire.
Later life
Eventually, he returned to Masyaf in 1247 following his father's return to power as Grand Master of the Order. It can be assumed his relation with his father was restored periodically following this. He was presumably still present when Altaïr hosted the Venetian explorers Niccolò and Maffeo Polo in 1257, and when Hulagu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, attacked Masyaf later in the year.
