## Biography

### Recruiting Zoya

   After attending the funeral of Rehan Nazar, Aatish visited Rehan's daughter Zoya and gets her Masala French Toast, which is tend to be Zoya's favourite meal. After exchanging their memories with Rehan, he promised that she will have his support along with the Pakistani Government, which includes her education and others. He also added that he will let her choose a path when she turns 21 - the one where she gets to step on her father's shoes and the one with a normal life. Zoya chose the former one for which she will not wait to turn 21. Aatish wholeheartedly welcomes Zoya to ISI.

### Assassination Backfired

In 2011, there was a peace summit between India and Pakistan, held in Vienna, Austria. From India, there was General Keith Ribiero and some RAW agents. And from Pakistan, there was General Wasim Riaz and some ISI agents including Aatish, Shaheen and Zoya. After Wasim Riaz appointed Aatish Rehman as the new Deputy Director of ISI, Aatish continues to work on his secret operation with his pregnant wife, Shaheen. Aatish reveals his operation to Zoya, who is needed for it. It was an assassination attempt on General Ribiero and Aatish wanted Zoya to be the sniper. Zoya objected to the plan and denied to be the part of it. After Aatish dismissed her, Shaheen stepped up and decided to volunteer for the sniper. Sometimes later, Aatish discovers a news about a failed assassination attempt on General Ribiero, followed by Shaheen's death. Aatish decides to take the blame and surrenders. After being escorted, he meets Tiger, who took down his wife. Aatish was later stripped off the ranks and imprisoned.

#### Payback

In 2019, his friend Imtiaz Haq, Chief of Army Staff, helps him break out of the prison. For 4 years, they have been making plans for Pakistan and themselves. While making plans, he kept updated regarding Tiger and Zoya. In 2023, he executed the plan starting with sending an Austrian doctor, Dr. Hoffman to Junior, Tiger and Zoya's son to get to Zoya. After Hoffman injected an infectious virus into Junior, Aatish made Zoya do criminal acts in a stwalthy way. This got Gopi's attention in Afghanistan, who revealed to Tiger, that Zoya is involved in an outfit claimed to be more dangerous than ISIS and LET. Days later, Aatish gave a task to Zoya to take down Jibraan Sheikh, a RAW operator. The task was interrupted by Tiger, who briefly fought Zoya and got knocked down by Aatish's men. Aatish then gave a bigger task to Tiger and Zoya, for the same sake of antidote for Junior's infection. The task was to steal an important briefcase from Chinese General Zimou in Istanbul, Turkey. After a suuccesful heist, Zoya delivered the briefcase and Aatish revealed that it was PAL codes inside the briefcase. Alongside that, Aatish called out the cops on Tiger, who then got arrested and imprisoned in Pakistan prison. From this point, Aatish succeeded on marking Tiger and Zoya as traitors in the eyes of India and Pakistan.
