Biography
At some point in the early 18th century, Hamid rescued a young Kashmiri named Arbaaz Mir from a meeting gone wrong and offered him a place among the Assassins.[1]
In late June 1839, Hamid sent Arbaaz to retrieve a document in First Civilization script about the Koh-i-Noor diamond, a Piece of Eden. After explaining the diamond's legend to Arbaaz, Hamid revealed that the Koh-i-Noor was in the possession of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in Amritsar, and that the British Templars were plotting to steal it; while Ranjit Singh had been the keeper of the diamond for nine years, his successors didn't share his determination to it, which the Templars sought to exploit. Hamid tasked Arbaaz with protecting Ranjit Singh from the Templars, in order to keep the Piece of Eden out of their hands.[2]
By 1860, Hamid was still the Mentor and in accordance with the strict rules of the Indian Brotherhood, ordered the execution of Arbaaz's son, Jayadeep, for incompetence due to a failure of nerves during an assassination. However, Ethan Frye, the former mentor of Jayadeep, offered a banishement alternative to Arbaaz who in turn convinced the Mentor to exile his son in England, to help the weakened British Brotherhood there and atone for his failure.[3]
Personality and characteristics
While being an Assassin and theoritically tasked to defend the innocents with no regard on their race or social statute, Hamid was not above beating his slaves/servants of lower caste when they failed to reach the standards he had fixed.
