* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Several Hidden Ones express their dislike of Ali, viewing him as a pompous, self-aggrandizing fool, with Roshan giving him quite the DeathGlare when meeting him at the watermill and Dervis openly proclaiming that he despises the man. Basim is not happy with Ali's methods either. The distaste seems to be mutual, as Ali dislikes the Hidden Ones' following of a creed, as he considers it a form of servitude. Despite that, the Hidden Ones and Ali still work together as allies in their fight for the good of the common people.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He believes a war must be waged in order to topple the Abbasid Caliphate and cleanse the land of the oppresion the people suffer from. [[spoiler: He also has no qualms torturing and killing a captive if it means it can advance his cause.]]

It indirectly causes Al-Kullulu's death (the order to secure the hairpin through confiscation of goods he fulfills affects one of Basim's friends, giving Basim a starting point to investigate him), gives Basim several clues to her identity, has her reveal her face to Basim when making a public appearance at the auction to view the hairpin and drives her to lowering her guard to such a degree that when Basim shows up with the hairpin as a gift for her, she grants him a private audience and allows him to approach her at a blade's reach.
