| This article is about the father of Basim Ibn Ishaq. You may be looking for the Ottoman Assassin. |
Ishaq (Arabic: إسحاق; died c. 850s) was an architect active in early to mid-9th century Samarra, then the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. He was the father of Basim Ibn Ishaq.
Biography
Though responsible for the construction of the Great Mosque of Samarra, his credit was stolen by another man, with Ishaq being exiled and later dying in poverty.[1] With Ishaq's death, Basim became an orphan who grew up in the streets of Baghdad, his mother having died years earlier when he was a child.[2]
Personality and traits
In his teenage years, Basim appeared to hold his father in relatively high regard, describing him as someone who had "dedicated his life to the betterment of his people" and hoping to live up to the wisdom of his lessons. Furthermore, the injustice Ishaq had faced inspired in his son a strong desire to fight for justice and help those in need, which eventually led him to join the Hidden Ones.[3]
However, Basim's opinion of his father seemingly changed as he became an adult and unlocked Loki's dormant memories inside him. When talking with Hytham during a mission in Constantinople in 867, Basim described Ishaq as someone who "had no love in him for his son", saying that his father had nothing but violence to pass on to him.[4]
