The Alamut

The Alamut is a Middle Eastern organisation dedicated to the protection of mutants in frequently dangerously bigoted countries in the region.

Roster

Largely undetermined as yet. Amahl Farouk is closely associated with them.

Details

The Alamut, by itself, is a fairly small organization of influential Middle Eastern mutants (most of them hiding the fact) which has arisen as an answer to unstable situation in the region and is aimed specifically to look after mutants. At the moment there the Alamut is largely an information collection center and social support hub that tries to keep truck of the mutant affairs (or policies that might affect the latter) in the region and provide some basic financial/welfare help to the most vulnurable/poorest of them. There are less than a 100 active operatives – more often than not the Alamut prefers to outsource in times of trouble.

By necessity (considering its semi-clandestine status and predilection for working through intermediaries) there is considerable interaction between the mutant community and the regional criminal networks. The Alamut is especially dependent on outsiders for ‘direct action’ operations: a typical example of which was extraction of a Sudanese mutant businessman kidnapped by Janjaweed militiamen who suspected him of selling arms to Haraka Tahrir Sudanin in Darfur. Lacking any assets in the area the Alamut, through Amahl Farouk, negotiated with Achmed el-Gibar who in turn, for a modest fee, convinced the local drug runners to ‘procure’ the man and get him out of the country.

Plots
