Biography
Watch guard of Alamut
One of the younger members of the 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]
In 862, Nur met a new recruit by the name of Basim,[2] who was rescued by Master Assassin Roshan from Anbar.[3] Being of a similar age and personality to Basim, Nur befriended him and the two became close friends. When Basim returned from one of his training, Nur met him by the camp's entrance, and commented on their stubborn personality, for Basim had once angered one of the Banū Mūsā brothers for allegedly touching his hammer, which he denied doing 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]
Spy in Baghdad
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 overheard during a conversation between Mentor Rayhan and a Tahirid emissary. Nur reassured him, stating that Alamut's remote location and rocky terrain would make it a difficult spot to attack.[2]
