The Founder of the Shia Sect is Abdullah bin Saba' al-Yahudi Series
All early Sunni and Shia sources are agreed and united that the founder of the Shia sect and its core doctrines is Abdullah bin Saba', the Yemeni Jew. It is only recently when Shia authorities, along with some Orientalists started to cast doubt on the person of Abdullah bin Saba', as to whether he even existed?! This is an attempt to falsify history and those involved in this rewriting of history have their own motives. For the Shia, this is understandable. And as for the Orientalists who hold this view, it is also understandable. Perhaps they wish to legitimize the Shia sect as part of a wider agenda of perpetuating intellectual and academic confusion within Muslim circles.
