I replay Mirage in total synchronization, so I focus mainly on the story mission and remark that, like Valhalla, Mirage has some allusion and parallels with AC1.
(Al-Ghul = Talal/Abu'l Nuqoud) A slaver who speaks from a balcony to a crowd.
(Al-Rabisu = Jubaïr/Garnier de Naplouse) A scholar organizing the burning of books and experimenting on patients.
(Al-Pairika = Tamir/Sibrand) A merchant working in a bazaar and blocking the port.
(Al-Mardikhwar = Guillaume de Montferrat/Majd Addin) A person who argues with the city governor before a fortress and who organizes executions.
(Al-Bahamut = Robert de Sablé) Trying to ally with the city governor to eliminate the Assassins and using a woman to lure the protagonist.
(Roshan = Al-Mualim) Confront his apprentice in the Assassin headquarters.
I said that Basim is an anti-Altaïr as their stories are inverted
Altaïr is arrogant, selfish, and disillusioned with the Creed and rediscovered the meaning of being an Assassin.
Basim wanted to help and be a Hidden Ones, but through the story, he became disillusioned and wanted to become more at the end.
In a way, both rediscover what they were.
What do you think?
