Puppet Run | Project No. 1 | Gazo

Gazo doesn’t stay at the castle!
“Puppet Run” group went to rescue Gazo (Hassan Sabbah’s unpleased henchman) on the last week of July 2010. Rescue program started from Alamout mountain, and after three days and night Gazo was ran away successfully by the group.
“Puppet Run” project is a joint project holding by Rybon and Caspiono. The group members stayed three days in Gazorkhan village (500 meter of Alamout Castle) and after making Gazo, ran away him from Alamout Castle to far far lands. The storyteller hasn’t written the end of this imaginary story; So nobody knows about Gazo’s destiny. But after Gazo the long-term program of “Puppet Run” group will continue in order to help in running away all the puppets who want to live in another way.

Where is Alamout Castle?
“Alamout castle” or “Hassan Castle” is one of the most famous castles of Alamout , near to Qazvin, that was occupied by Hassan Sabbah in 1093 and changed to his headquarters. This castle is built on top of a cliff over 2010 height of sea surface, and is completely surrounded by precipices. Hassan Sabah, who is called at the same generation and also the classmate of two famous Iranian scientists (Khayyam Neishabouri & Khaje Nezamolmolk), made a new movement at the castle which lasted until 95 years later.
They were notorious to inherent devotees killed more than fifty of their opponent way. Inherent devotees (who are famous as Assassins in the west) were occupied lots of castles of Iran at that time but Alamout was the most frightening of them. As no stranger was able to penetrate in it during 35 years.

Who is Gazo?
There was a young, tall man among Hassan Sabbah’s group whose name was Gazo and he didn’t accept Assassins. Two important elements of success of Hassan Sabbah’s cruel henchmen were “pure loyalty and order”. In fact Gazo liked none of them. Gazo had a flat boney face; loose long hands and huge feet with a long mustache. He against his fellows liked music. There are different stories about his affection to music. It’s said he had hidden a horn or maybe another musical instrument in a pit somewhere around the house and played it secretly. Gazo liked the holes which are under infants’ elbows very much and because of this loved to have a baby, But Sabbah’s henchmen weren’t allowed to marry and be loved!
Gazo missed all the things which were banned at the castle. There was no sea around Alamout: therefore, he couldn’t put his lovely letters in a bottle and flow it across the water. So he fastened his letters to an arrow and shoot them to far lands. He always wrote on his letters “hello! I am Gazo. I can’t say where I am but it’s not a good place.” Of course it’s clear that nothing is written about his letter’s fate in the history. Gazo was a naive fighter and he never knew why he fights and for what he should fight. His feet were too big and his shoe wears weren’t fit; therefore, whenever he rode cross the river his cotton shoes fell into it and his pants overflowed with water. He was the only person who was able to give carrot to his horse while riding because his hands were too long and big. One day Gazo decided tp run away from castle and make his own living. Three days after that day he escaped from the castle, and because like every other human beings who are not devotee of any sect and just live in a way that they like.
