- "Most impressive, my friend. The others said you make a mess of things, but not I. No, I was sure you'd come through. And come through you have."
- ―The Damascus bureau leader to Altaïr.[src]
The Damascus bureau leader (born c. 1150s) was a member of the Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins who, as a Rafiq, served as the bureau leader in Damascus.
Biography[]
In 1191, Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad frequently visited the Damascus bureau leader when reporting before each assassination as part of his punishment for disobeying the Creed. Unlike many of the other Assassins, especially Malik Al-Sayf, this leader did not show his displeasure with Altaïr directly, instead becoming sarcastic and feigning admiration while simultaneously insulting him.[2][3][4] Eventually, he came to legitimately like Altaïr, referring to him as the "hero of Damascus".[4] Altaïr would often confront the man with the mysteries he encountered after having assassinated his targets, though the bureau leader usually directed him to Al Mualim for answers, believing that Al Mualim was their source of knowledge.[5][6][7]
Personality and traits[]
The Damascus bureau leader stood out as an eccentric figure, a sort of jester in the office who reveled in light-hearted banter, often directed at others' expense. Initial encounters left an air of uncertainty about whether he harbored genuine liking or disdain. His communication style consisted of backhanded compliments, a mix of subtle and direct critiques, and peculiar accusations. Many found themselves eager to escape his presence, wary of the unpredictable nature of his remarks, which alternated between amusing and insulting. Described as athletic, inquisitive, and subtly obnoxious, the bureau leader was also known for his peculiar habit of adorning pots.[1]
Trivia[]
