Although it takes place roughly 600 years before Assassin's Creed 2, AC Mirage hints at the origin of the Italian master assassin's signature weapon.
Assassin's Creed Mirage may take place in 9th century Baghdad, but there's an Easter egg that will likely remind longtime fans of Ezio Auditore, the famed assassin who lived roughly 800 years later during the Italian Renaissance. During Basim's story in Mirage, the Brotherhood of Assassins has yet to be established, still known as its precursor organization, the Hidden Ones.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 2009's Assassin's Creed 2 introduced Ezio, a charismatic young Florentine who is thrust into the life of an Assassin following the execution of his father and two brothers.
A letter found in a Hidden Ones bureau in Assassin's Creed Mirage has now confirmed that using a second Hidden Blade was not Altaïr's idea, but actually predated him by over 200 years. In Basim's time, when cutting off a finger was still part of initiation into the Hidden Ones, one of their ranks in Constantinople was seemingly the first to don a second, even though it meant removing another finger.
Assassin's Creed Mirage highlights one of the earlier centuries in the Islamic Golden Age, when Baghdad was one of the world's preeminent centers of learning. At the time, Constantinople would have been an important cultural hub, situated across the Bosporus Strait, which connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. It was the capital of the Byzantine Empire , so it's unsurprising to hear that innovation in Hidden One technique was coming out of Constantinople.
