Jasdip Dhami
- "We're doing what we must to keep it out of their hands. Let's just say it would be bad for life as we know it if they find the diamond before we do."
- ―Jasdip regarding the Templars' search for the Koh-i-Noor, 2013.[src]
Jasdip "Jazz" Dhami is a member of the Indian Brotherhood of Assassins, and the brother of Siobhan Dhami. In 2013, the siblings were tasked with locating the Koh-i-Noor diamond, a relic from the times of the First Civilization.
Biography
Born into a family that had been affiliated with the Assassins for many generations, both Jasdip and his sister Siobhan became loyal members of the Brotherhood. In contrast to his tech-oriented sister, Jasdip was a consummate biker with dreams of being a superstar.[1]
During the latter stages of 2013, Jasdip and his sister were tasked with finding the Koh-i-Noor, a Piece of Eden that had been hidden by the Assassin Arbaaz Mir in the 19th century. Their research eventually led the two to Jot Soora, a test programmer at MysoreTech that had told Siobhan he was the descendant of a Sikh Empire Assassin; however, he refused to make contact with Siobhan again afterwards. After procuring his "Brahman V.R.", the Dhami siblings followed Jot to Mumbai, where they coerced him into coming with them.[2]
Taking him to a safehouse, Jasdip questioned Jot on the location of the Koh-i-Noor, informing the test programmer that the Templars were combing India for individuals linked to the diamond. As their captive was unable to answer, they forced Jot to relive his memories through the Brahman device. However, it soon became clear to Siobhan that Jot had lied to her, with his ancestry possessing no trace of either Arbaaz Mir's or Maharaja Ranjit Singh's bloodlines.[2]
Soon after, Abstergo operatives launched an attack on the safehouse, with the less combat-oriented Siobhan being killed in the ensuing battle. Jasdip fought off the first group of assailants, following which he cut off one of his sister's fingers to preserve her DNA for the Brotherhood. He and Jot then fled to the roof of the building, where they decided to rappel down the side of the building together; as Jasdip did so, he remotely triggered Siobhan's Hidden Blade to detonate.[2]
The resulting explosion wiped out their pursuers, but also caused Jot, who had been hanging onto Jasdip, to lose his grip and fall down into the slums. Seperated from each other by the blast, the Assassin tracked down Jot, who had managed to reunite with his fiancée Monima Das, though the pair was kidnapped shortly thereafter by Abstergo agents. Jasdip mounted a rescue attempt, jumping on the Templars' van and then hurling himself onto one of the escorts' motorbikes.[2]
Jasdip then shot one of the van's tires, causing the driver to lose control and crash through the highway's safety barier, plunging into the Mithi River. Diving after the vehicle, the Assassin managed to free Jot, but Monima remained trapped in the sinking van and perished in the Bay of Mumbai. Jasdip then brought Jot to another Assassin safehouse hidden in the Chor Bazaar, where he reported on the failure of his mission to Dinesh.[2]
While Jasdip and Dinesh debated on what to do next, Jot began playing a recording of Monima, which led the two Assassins to discover that she had been a descendant of Princess Pyara Kaur, whose memories revealed the whereabouts of the Koh-i-Noor. As Dinesh copied the genetic data and searched for a way to wipe it off the Abstergo Cloud, Jasdip prepared for the incoming assault of Abstergo operatives. When the Templars launched their attack, Dinesh was killed immediately, leaving Jot to flee while Jasdip bought him time.[2] After taking out several assailants, Jasdip also made his escape.[3]
Trivia
- In Assassin's Creed: Rogue, Jasdip is referred to as "Jhadsip" by Juhani Otso Berg.
- Although a body wearing similar clothes to Jasdip's can be seen laying at the feet of Otso Berg at the end of Assassin's Creed: Brahman, an audio file in Assassin's Creed: Rogue confirmed he managed to survive the attack and escape.
