Basim Ibn Ishaq was a member of the Hidden Ones from the Abbasid Caliphate who operated during the 9th century, working primarily in foreign nations on the Brotherhood's behalf. He is the reincarnation of the Isu Loki, and retained all his past memories.
Biography
Basim was the son of an architect, who constructed the Great Mosque of Samarra but was exiled and died in poverty after someone else took credit for his work. During his youth, Basim was a frequent visitor of the great library of Bagdad.
In 870 CE, he met Sigurd Styrbjornson in Constantinople and befriended him. Two years later, Sigurd brought him and Hytham[1] over to Norway, where he met Sigurd's adoptive younger sibling, Eivor.[2] While in Norway, he was influential in helping convince the Norsemen of the Raven Clan to relocate from the endless war and lack of resources, and told Eivor of a greater conspiracy by a hidden enemy to control the Norse as well as all of England. He is the reincarnation of Loki.[3]
