The Hidden Ones of Alamut, also known as the Alamut Brotherhood,[1] was the guild of Hidden Ones based at the stronghold of Alamut in Persia during the 9th century. During the 860s, they were led by the council of Mentor Rayhan, Eagle-Master Fuladh, and Master Assassin Roshan, and were the principal opponents of the Order of the Ancients based in the Abbasid capital of Baghdad.

History

The Hidden Ones of Alamut took their name from the castle, which began construction by the order of the Daylam ruler Wahsudan ibn Marzuban around 840.[2] After discovering that the castle had been unknowingly built atop an Isu temple, the Hidden Ones continued the foundations laid by Wahsudan, seeking to make the fortress their main base and protect the temple from the Order of the Ancients.[3] In the meantime, they set up a camp in the surrounding valley to serve as their base, and formed an uneasy alliance with the Tahirids, who protected the grounds Alamut Castle was being built on.[4]

In the 860s, worried about the Order's growing influence in Baghdad, Rayhan dispatched a contingent of Hidden Ones led by Fuladh, Roshan, and the brotherhood's newest initiate Basim Ibn Ishaq to the city to conduct an investigation and increase their own presence in Baghdad.[5] In time, Basim uncovered the Order's plans in Baghdad and assassinated its members, though he was disturbed to learn that the Hidden Ones had been hiding certain things from him during a confrontation with the Order's leader Qabiha, who encouraged him to seek out the Alamut temple.[6]

Around this time, the Alamut Brotherhood came under threat when a Tahirid force led a surprised attack on their camp and captured or executed many Hidden Ones. This came as a result of governor Muhammad ibn Tahir making a deal with the Order to remove the Tahirids' protection on the castle ground. When Basim returned to Alamut to investigate its Isu temple, he became caught in the attack and was nearly killed by Tahirid soldiers before being saved by his fellow Hidden One Nur.[7]

Eventually, the Hidden Ones were able to fend off the Tahirid attack after Basim freed the captured members of the Brotherhood, including Rayhan. However, Roshan would choose to leave the Brotherhood after a confrontation with Basim, whom she failed to dissuade from investigating the Isu temple, where the young Hidden One ultimately became aware of his nature as the reborn form of Loki.[7]

By 870, Basim had been sent to the Byzantine capital of Constantinople to oversee the local Hidden One bureau,[8] until he eventually left for Northern Europe two years later alongside his apprentice Hytham to start a new brotherhood and eliminate the last remnants of the Order of the Ancients.[9] In 879, Fuladh, following his promotion to Mentor of the Hidden One brotherhood in the Justanid region, was set to host a council within the newly constructed fortress of Alamut. Rayhan invited Hytham to attend the council in order to give a full account of Basim's betrayal during their time together in England.[10]
