Faith and the Hassans
How fitting that the defining aspects of the Hassans in the Fate series would be their ‘faith’, as the name given to their historical order, the Ḥashīshiyya, translates to “follower of the foundation of faith”.
While Fate doesn’t really delve into the specifics of the Islam faith, the Hassans are consistently shown as being very devoted to their religion, their cause, and the people of the land. It is for that reason that Hassan of the Hundred Personas took his Multiple Personality Disorder and honed it into 100 different skills, that Hassan of the Cursed Arm took the arm of the mythical demon and sealed it within his own, that Hassan of the Serenity turned her entire body into lethal poison. While she was denied the position in favor of Hundred Personas, the No-Name Hassan of Strange Fake also had extreme abilities, devotion to the people, and faith worthy of the title ‘Old Man of the Mountain’.
Almost.
You see, where No-Name Assassin falls short, her lack of confidence and faith in her own abilities, is also an area where the other Hassans fall short when summoned as Servants. They don’t have any regrets for the murders they committed in life, and are shown not to regret their choices. But their wishes for the Grail, an impossible wish-granter they could only have access too after their lives have ended, all show a desire to change themselves. To live as a normal man, to have one peaceful night of sleep, to have one able to withstand their touch. They served their people and land well in life, why shouldn’t they be granted respite in death?
Because that is not the role of their order. Their founder, the inventor of ‘assassination’, the First Hassan, was denied the peace of death and made into the Grand Assassin, ever at the beck and call of the Counter Force. As he has no rest, neither shall his descendants, those who chose to fake up the title of “Old Man of the Mountain”. For the Hassans to give up their powers, their abilities that make them who they are, shows a lack of faith, a dereliction of duty. Ultimately, they still have that resolve, as shown in the Camelot Singularity, willing to offer up their heads, their continued lives, to First Hassan in exchange for his aid preventing the Incineration of Humanity. While disappointed in their lack of confidence in their own abilities, their faith and willingness to sacrifice themselves was enough to earn his aid.
