Harbiyah bureau

The Harbiyah bureau

The Haribyah bureau was a Hidden One bureau situated in the Shari' region of Baghdad's northern Harbiyah district. In the 860s, it was headed by the Master Assassin and Rafiq Fuladh Al Haami.

History

After Caliph Al-Mutawakkil's murder, the Alamut Hidden Ones installed multiple bureaus to fight and stomp out the Order of the Ancients' influence across the city. Together, Fuladh and Master Assassin Roshan founded the bureau and traveled with their initiate Basim Ibn Ishaq there. When the three Hidden Ones discussed the leads their comrade Nur found before, Basim was tasked to investigate.

From his investigation at a dyeing factory and his discovery of the person "Al-Ghul" being in charge of enslaved workers and prisoners, Basim returned to the bureau and was reacquainted with its engineer Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Musa, then spoke with Fuladh and Roshan. They learned of a deal between Ali ibn Muhammad's freedom fighters and Nur for aid against the caliphate. Fuladh instructed Basim to meet him at the Damascus Gate Prison to rescue Ali while Roshan met with the rebels at their Water Mill base outside the city to find out more about their deal.

Before leaving, Basim talked with Abu Jafar about the contract board and the tool enhancements he could provide him. After Basim rescued Ali from prison and learned of Al-Ghul's identity as the soap mill owner Mas'ood Al-Ya'qoob, he met Roshan at the caravanserai where Mas'ood was conducting business. There, Basim located and assassinated him.

Afterwards, Basim returned to the bureau and gifted Fuladh with a feather dipped in Mas'ood's blood as proof of his death. All three later discussed how more bureaus were being set up and led by fellow Hidden Ones Rebekah and Tabid in western Karkh and Abbasiyah, respectively, while Fuladh would leave to oversee another bureau in Sharqiyah. Once Roshan and Fuladh left, Basim talked with Abu Jafar a final time about more devices before he left to meet his fellow Hidden Ones.
