Faheem Al-Sayf
Faheem Al-Sayf was, by 1176, a Master Assassin in the Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins, and the father of Malik and Kadar Al-Sayf.
During the Siege of Masyaf, Faheem was among the Assassins who wanted to kill Saladin but Al Mualim, their Mentor, wanted to keep him alive in order for the Saracens to counter the Crusaders, another threat to the Assassins and to keep them at bay. When Faheem's fellow Master Assassin, Umar Ibn-La'Ahad, decided to plant a threatening note to Saladin after another Assassin, Ahmad Sofian, gave them the Sultan's location. However Umar murdered a Saracen nobleman and Ahmad, who was captured and tortured by the Saracens, revealed it was Umar who killed the nobleman and he was executed, though the Saracens left the village after this sacrifice.
