Enkidu

Enkidu was a male who accompanied the Alamut Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq during the 9th century.
==Biography==
Enkidu was raised in the Hidden Ones' camp at Alamut by the Eagle-Master Fuladh Al Haami. Like the other eagles, he was to be entrusted to a member of the brotherhood as a companion once they completed their training. In February 862, Enkidu was introduced by Fuladh to a new initiate of the brotherhood, Basim Ibn Ishaq. During the introduction, Fuladh described Enkidu as having a similar personality to Basim.Assassin's Creed: Mirage – A New Beginning
Eventually, after months of training, Enkidu was assigned to Basim once the Hidden One completed his initiation into the brotherhood.Assassin's Creed: Mirage – Taking Flight As his companion, he helped Basim to locate targets and objects of interest as well as mark dangers such as nearby guards. In some instances, archers would shoot at Enkidu after catching him flying over them, forcing Basim to eliminate the archers to allow Enkidu to resume his reconnaissance.Assassin's Creed: Mirage
Following the events that took place in the Alamut Temple, Enkidu ultimately rejected Basim as his master, clawing his face and flying away when he was summoned. This may be due to the fact that Enkidu sensed Basim had changed and was no longer the same person.Assassin's Creed: Mirage – In Pursuit of Truth
