Tariq al-Nasr was a Moorish Assassin who was recruited into the Spanish Brotherhood in the aftermath of the sack of Málaga, his home, during the Granada War

Biography

Born during the Renaissance in Málaga to a poor Muslim family, Tariq al-Nasr was a Moorish pit fighter. To aid his family, he worked as an enforcer-for-hire in the city's underworld. Not a violent or cruel man by nature, Tariq was known for his love of competition and sparring.

In 1487, when Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada drove the Christian forces of the Reconquista to sack the city of Málaga as part of the Granada War, all of Tariq's people were killed or enslaved to be sold to Spanish nobles. Not willing to be anyone's slave, and outraged by the Spanish actions, Tariq fled the city.

Tariq eventually met the Assassins, and joined the Brotherhood so he could bring justice and freedom to the Muslims of Spain.
