In this exciting episode I delve deeper into the later life of Hassan-i-Sabbah and his secret order of assassins, the legend that inspired the famous Assassins Creed video game series. Continuing from last week, I unveil details of how Nizarism took hold in India and how a Shi'a Imam was transformed via the Ginan tradition into Hindu deities Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh whilst also being the God of Islam.
