^ i agree with what the anon said. King Hassan already abandoned his role as one the Hassan i Sabbah. Which means his fame pretty much only limits him as the incarnation of death towards the cult. King Hassan might have started the cult, however he was not responsible for propagating the said religion, it was Cursed Arm who did the work thus making him the first Hassan "in" the cult. Remember in this franchise, what defines these characters is their fame. This means that the title: "Old man in the mountain" is Cursed Arm. It is what he was known for, its already part of his identity. Since we as a society does not consider King Hassan as the first one, because people don't even know he exists, he cannot be, and never will be the Old Man in the mountain. Which i may stress is Cursed Arm Hassan's identity. If you still are having a hard time understanding, just think of King Hassan as a retired employee. He still is a veteran employee, but he has already abandoned his role and left it for the next generation. He still is an assassin, however he is not part of the cult anymore which is why he cannot be summoned under normal circumstance since no one knows he exists in the first place. This nulls and voids him of being part of the religious cult, making the 2nd one in line to succeed.
