The Origin of Assassins Creed (A Timeline of Assassins Creed History) Computer 651 Devin Ridgeway The Assassin's Creed

games take place in 2012, featuring Desmond Miles, a bartender who is a descendant of several lines of prominent Assassins; though raised as an Assassin, he fled his nomadic family to seek out a more common lifestyle. He is initially kidnapped by the megacorporation Abstergo Industries, the modern-day face of the Knights Templar who are aware of Desmond's lineage. Desmond is forced to use the "Animus", a device that allows him to experience his ancestral memories. Abstergo is seeking to discover the location of several artifacts, or "Pieces of Eden", that hold great power, to control mankind and alter its fate, bringing humanity into a single unified group. Desmond also encounters a small team of modern-day Assassins; agreeing to work with them, Desmond uses their version of the Animus (the Animus 2.0) to continue to experience the memories of his ancestors to discover the locations of additional Pieces of Eden so they can be recovered before Abstergo can do so. While experiencing these memories, some of their abilities are genetically leaked into Desmond, known as the Bleeding Effect, giving him some of the Assassin skills of his predecessors at the cost of living with multiple sets of memories and personalities in his mind. Within the Animus, Desmond explores the memories of Assassins Altair ibn-La'Ahad, an initially disgraced Assassin working to redeem himself during the Third Crusade, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, an Assassin in Italy during the late 15th and early 16th centuries of the Renaissance and of Ratohnhak:ton, otherwise known as Connor, a half-Mohawk, half British Assassin during the American Revolution. Throughout these events, Desmond learns of allusions to the prophetic end of the world in 2012 from a former Animus test subject, Subject 16, as well as from holographic figures of a species pre-dating humanity. The first thing that happens in the series is Desmond is caught by Abstergo and he is taken captive. Abstergo put him in the Animus to find the Pieces of Eden that his ancestors found throughout time. The first is Altair ibn-La ahad. Historic 12th century assassin. Desmond followed him around in Jerusalem, Damascus, and Acre. Also takes place in Masyaf, home of the Assassins. Altair has broken the Creed and has to redeem himself by taking nine lives in exchange for his own. He sets out in these three cities to find and kill these men and later he finds out that he was killing them only for the reason that his mentor was in the finding of the piece of Eden so his master would be the one with it so he would be the most powerful person in the world. In the and Altair beats him in a fight and he protects the POE not letting the power get to him. The next Assassin is Ezio Auditore da Firenze. His brothers and father were killed by Templars so he sought revenge. He waited until a day when the man who killed his family, Umberto Alberti, was out at a painting gallery. He ran up behind Umberto and killed him with the Hidden Blade. He had revenge but He then found out his family was part of a secret organization called the Assassins and they fought their enemies, the Templars. It turned out Umberto Alberti was at the bottom of a chain of Templars. So Ezio had to kill his rival family, try to save the ruler of Venice. He had his revenge on the Templars at the end when he had the POE. The Roman goddess Minerva showed and did something to the POE. Ezio then later went to Rome when his Uncles town, Monteriggioni was attacked by Borgia. He had to kill more Templars finally killing the man who killed his Uncle. Then the nest story Desmond found of Ezio was

when Ezio was in Constantinople. He needed to find Masyaf keys to open Altairs hidden library. He found the keys in the end only to go find a girl, Sofia Sorto, based on the picture A painting of a Venetian Woman. After Desmond ended that Animus session, he learned about the end of the world and he could prevent or precede it. He went into the Animus again this time as an Mohawk Indian assassin named Ratonhnhake:ton (later called Connor). This story took place in the Revolutionary War. There wasnt really a point to the third story but to find out where a key was that would either save or end the world. In the end Desmond had to decide and he decided to save the world, possibly letting out the worst fear a human could have.
