Biography
Early activities
One of the younger members of the Alamut Brotherhood, Nur was praised for being a gifted climber, with his skills at scaling heights able to rival his mentors. He was particularly known for his friendly personality, which was said to bring a welcoming energy to the Alamut camp.[1] Nur's climbing abilities gave him the role as the a watch guard and scouter, with the eagle Muhja as his companion. Together with Muhja and a fellow Hidden One, he would serve as night patrol to keep a lookout for any would-be intruders.[2]
Watchguard duty
In 862, Nur met a new recruit by the name of Basim,[2] who had been rescued by the Master Assassin Roshan from Anbar.[3] Being of a similar age and personality to Basim, Nur befriended him and the two became close. In February 862, when Basim returned from one of his daily training sessions, Nur met him by the camp's entrance, and commented on his stubborn personality, for Basim had once angered one of the Banū Mūsā brothers by allegedly touching his hammer, though Basim denied having done so. When Basim asked Nur for Fuladh's whereabouts, he told him the Eagle-Master was at his office, speaking to Ahmad ibn Musa.[2]
That night, during a bonfire gathering, Nur asked for a volunteer to join him on patrol. Basim volunteered and followed him to the watch location. Along the way, Basim spoke to Nur on his woes about Alamut coming under attack by outsiders for dealing with Zanj rebels in Baghdad, which he had overheard during a conversation between Mentor Rayhan and a Tahirid emissary. Nur reassured him, stating that Alamut's remote location and rocky terrain made it a difficult spot to attack.[2]
As they reached the watch spot, Nur introduced Basim to Muhja and told him that he would soon have an eagle companion of his own, which led Basim to tell him about Fuladh's comparisons between him and Enkidu. A moment later, Muhja spotted something out of the ordinary and flew off, leading Nur and Basim to zipline down into the valley to investigate. While scouting from the tall grass patches, they eavesdropped on and eliminated a group of mercenaries who had come to scout out the Alamut camp.[2]
Spy in Baghdad
Basim retrieved one of the mercenaries' sword and the two reported back to the council at the camp, where they concluded the mercenaries had likely been sent by the Order of the Ancients in Baghdad. As Rayhan believed they needed to seek the help of Ali ibn Muhammad, the leader of the Zanj Rebels, Nur volunteered himself to head to the city and investigate. As he took his leave, Basim bid him farewell and wished him luck on his journey.[2]
Upon reaching Baghdad, Nur established himself in a makeshift bureau in the Harbiyah district, seeking allies in the factory district of Shari' where many Zanj sympathizers resided.[4] One of them was a former merchant from Anbar, Dervis, who served as an informant while funding the rebellion effort.[5] Another one of his contacts was Beshi, Ali's second-in-command who stationed himself at the Upper Harbor as a dock worker.[6]
After Nur managed to contact Ali, the two worked together to uncover the perpetrators behind the would-be attack on Alamut. However, the Order took notice of their activities and ordered their capture. Sure enough, Ali was captured along with the rebels at the Upper Harbor, while Nur was forced to flee from Baghdad and make his return to Alamut, thought not without suffering injuries in the process.[7]
Return to Alamut
Nur rushed back to the camp on his camel and collapsed immediately upon reaching the main courtyard, where Basim and Roshan saw him. After being given a moment to rest and water to drink, Nur reported Ali's fate to them before slowly losing his conscious. Nur was subsequently taken away to recuperate while Rayhan made the decision to send Basim, who had recently completed his initiation into the brotherhood, Fuladh and Roshan to continue Nur's investigation.[7]
Death
Eventually, Basim's fears of an attack on Alamut came true when the Order made a deal with governor Muhammad ibn Tahir to remove the Tahirids' protection of the castle grounds.[8] Subsequently, a large Tahirid force attacked Alamut, catching the Hidden Ones by surprise, and many of them were captured or killed as a result. Sent to find help, Nur encountered Basim in the valley surrounding Alamut, where he had been knocked unconscious by two Tahirid soldiers. Nur dispatched Basim's assailants and took him to a small cave nearby where he had taken refuge.[9]
Once Basim woke up, Nur disheartenedly informed him that Alamut had fallen and explained how he had found him. When Basim asked for Roshan's whereabouts, Nur stated that he had hoped she would be with Basim. Deciding to take back Alamut, Basim invited Nur to help him fight off the Tahirid attackers, but the latter claimed that he was in no condition to fight, revealing that he had been mortally wounded.[9]
When Basim vowed to avenge his friend, Nur told him that vengeance was not the way of the Hidden Ones, which angered Basim, who had become disillusioned with the Creed. However, Nur claimed that the Brotherhood's beliefs were the reason Basim was still alive, and urged him to rescue any Hidden One that still lived, so that their ideals may survive. To this, Basim agreed and set off to liberate the captive Hidden Ones, taking Nur's horse and leaving his friend to succumb to his injuries.[9]
