Rayhan
Rayhan was the Master Mentor of Hidden Ones based in the Abbasid Caliphate in the late 9th century.[1]
Biography
At some point during his 870s tenure, he sent a message to his student Hytham, who was staying at Eivor Varinsdottir's settlement of Ravensthorpe in England as he oversaw the bureau for his organization's latest chapter. In his letter, Rayhan recommended Hytham follow the example of his elder "brother" Basim Ibn Ishaq if he wished to rise through the Order's ranks.[1]
In 877, following Basim's betrayal and apparent death, Rayhan sent another letter to Hytham expressing his dismay in Basim's actions and inviting Hytham to their next council session in two years' time housed by Mentor Fuladh in the newly constructed fortress of Aluh-Amut to give a full accounting, and to confer a new rank.[2]
Legacy
Following Roshan and Eivor Varinsdottir's meeting in England, the Viking shieldmaiden acquired one of his personal sets of armor.[3]
