Nassir

"I trained with the Americans. Explosive experts. Special Forces. They teach me everything about bombs, about C4, about how to blow shit up. How to blow shit up on other dimensions. They were special Special Forces."

- Nassir

Nassir is a supporting hero in in the MMO The Secret World. Nassir is a member of the Marya (young warriors), a counter-terrorism unit descended from King Tut's private bodyguards - tasked with wiping away and keeping gone the Cult of Aten.

The Cult of Aten and The Marya
The Cult of Aten is the remnants of Pharaoh Akhenaten's legacy in Egypt. Akhenaten's mind was touched by the extra-dimensional entities known as The Dreamers when he was young. Akhenaten was mentally conditions through visions in his sleep into being an acolyte of The Dreamers. As Akhenaten grew-up everyone could tell something was off about him but by the time it came for him to inherit the throne he had become a power-mad true-believer of the evil cosmic-entities. Akhenaten rejected the Egyptian pantheon and made worship of The Dreamer who had spoken to him, Aten, mandatory for the people of Egypt. Akhenaten spread The Filth, run-off from the Dreamers, which enslaves the mind, warps the body and pollutes the soul, of any mortal it touches. With the Filth to trap people in a state of living death and the country firmly under Akhenaten's rule the people of Egypt were subject to one of their darkest times. Akhenaten's first major obstacle were two brothers one of which lives on as the sage named Khalid, who opposed him and freed a good many of his slaves. In an effort to become strong enough to over-come all future opposer, Akhenaten began preparations to have himself transformed into a mummy, during the embalming rites however Akhenaten would be sealed in a state of living death by The Sentinels, avatars of the Egyptian gods. With Akhenaten in no condition to continue leading the Atenists, his son King Tutankhamen inherited the throne.

Tutankhamen, or Tut, had recognized the madness of his father and gathered all remaining loyal royal-guards to begin a mass purge of the Atenists. Tut would die prematurely but he decreed his body-guards must continue the work without him and keep Egypt safe from any who would re-institute his father's madness. The Atenists were nearly wiped out, but there was always a small sect of people who would pass on rites and convert others behind closed doors. The body-guards broke-off into two group, one became a base for The Templars, while the other remained in Egypt to remain true to their original purpose and patrol for Atenists, this group would be known as The Marya.

In 2012 a bomb was set off in Tokyo, a Filth powered dirty bomb, which warped the entire city of Kaidan. Since the bombing, Filth activity around the world has spiked, including a resurgence of The Cult of Aten. The Atenists no longer hide behind closed doors, they walk and in-deed raid the streets. With a new way of brainwashing, human-sacrificing death cultists, The Marya have stepped up their efforts and now actively fight the made cultists before they can overwhelm the land again.

Counter Terrorism
In it's modern incarnation the Marya rely on military training and hardware. Their logic being that in the times of the old stories of ancient un-kill-able evils, no one had machine-guns. Nassir is one of the lieutenants of the Marya in the modern day. Nassir wishes to disrupt Atenist operations that are contaminating the water and food supply around the town of Al-Marya to convert more members. Nassir's first major task is infiltrating the factory to find out their defenses, with his follow-up to the operation as blowing up the plant to prevent it from spreading it's poison.
