Judge and Executioner was a virtual representation of one of Basim Ibn Ishaq's genetic memories relived through the Animus.

Description

Basim begins his investigation on Governor Muhammad ibn Tahir.

Memorandum to the Shurta

To shall Shurta Staff:

Whenever possible in the course of your duties, avoid the third floor. Governor ibn Tahir is engaged in delicate matters of state and should not be disturbed unless in case of utmost extremity.

Criminal Sought

For repeated acts of public disorder, thievery, and suspicion of murder and rebellion.

The suspect is of slightly above average height, with dark eyes and hair. He missing part of his fourth finger on his left hand. Be warned that he is armed and dangerous. If you should see him, alert the nearest member of the Shurta and proceed with extreme caution.

For the Governor's Eyes Only

Some still clamor for the claim of Abu 'Abdallah. They are not many, but they are loud and determined to drown out any voice of reason. It seems that every time the outcry ebbs and the dust threatens to settle, an unseen hand rakes itself through the dirty, clouding our sight and prompting fresh outrage. Whose hand I cannot guess, but I would stay it and staunch this chaos.

A Warning

For the eyes of Muhammad ibn Tahir:

I have it on good authority that the madman Ali ibn Muhammad intends to storm the palace itself. He thinks me an ally, but his cause is lost and ever will be, for it is in the nature of those serve to remain subservient. He is determined to lead his rabble to ruin and the rest to disaster.

Rage as the Ocean,
I'll sweeten your storms;

Scorch as the desert,
I'll bathe in your heat;

Strike as the cobra,
but plunge in my breast;

Soar as the dove,
but alight in my nest;

Where you go, there I'll go;
Where you rest, there I'll rest.

Resignation of Abu 'Abdallah

With a heavy heart, I, Abu 'Abdallah, swear allegiance to our Caliph regnant and avow that I will not seek the throne while he is living.

Signed II Shawwal.

Letter from the Tahirids

Cousin, per your request all terms with Alamut are herby voided; our pledge of protection revoked; our offer of asylum rescinded.

Abdallah ibn Tahir

Outcome

Basim uncovered Muhammad's dealings with the Order, selling out the Hidden Ones of Alamut for peace in Baghdad.
