Abbasiyah bureau

The Abbasiyah bureau

The Abbasiyah bureau was a Hidden One bureau situated in Yasiriyah subdistrict of the Abbasiyah district of Baghdad. By the 860s, it was headed by Rafiq Tabid Al-Nubi.

History

In the 860s, after the death of Caliph Al-Mutawakkil, the Alamut Hidden Ones set up multiple bureaus to counter and eradicate the Order of the Ancients' influence across the city. By instruction, Tabid scouted the district and later set up the Abbasiyah bureau. Along with him, Ahmad ibn Musa joined the bureau as its engineer but he later left for his workshop at the House of Wisdom. However, after a week, he was nowhere to be found and presumed missing. At the bureau, Tabid received his fellow Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq as they talked about Ahmad's disappearance as well as the House of Wisdom being corrupted. Thus, Basim left to investigate.

After Basim found Ahmad and assassinated Order members Hassan and Zahra during his investigation, Basim met with Tabid atop the bureau and discussed who was in charge of the Order in Abbasiyah, which led their attention on the Great Scholar Fazil Fahim al-Kemsa. Although hesitant, Tabid instructed Basim to find evidence and strike when he determined Fazil's culpability. After successfully determining and assassinating Fazil, Basim returned to the bureau but was stopped by Nehal, who asked if their relationship was over. Basim assured her that he will be there before meeting with Tabid. Basim met with Tabid and returned the bloodied feather to him, signaling the completion of his mission and the Order's influence over Abbasiyah.
