Who is the AC Mirage main character?

The name of the main character is Basim Ibn Ishaq. He was born in 835 as a reincarnation of Loki, very similar to many of the other assassins in the past. How does this happen? Well in the year 75,000 BCE, Loki allowed his consciousness to be preserved, to be resurrected at a later time.

Life starts out for Basim as a simple petty street thief, similar to Aladdin. But he’s found and put in the guidance of Roshan, a Master Assassin and leader of the Hidden Ones.
