'''Aita''' was a member of the [[First Civilization]] and the husband of [[Juno]]. One of the civilization's brightest minds, Aita created the [[Observatory]] on the island that would later be known as [[Jamaica]], and functioned as the overseer of the [[Pieces of Eden]]. Following Aita's death, Juno worked to bring him back to life, and succeeded in reincarnating him several times over the millennia.

==Biography==
After the outbreak of the [[Human-First Civilization War|human rebellion]] in 75010 BCE, Aita helped Juno, [[Minerva]], and [[Jupiter]] sort through the solutions given to them at the [[Grand Temple]], in order to prevent the [[Toba catastrophe|First Disaster]], which he was able to do until the fifth solution was tested.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

After their first three attempts at preventing the First Disaster failed, Juno and the others sought to save their race by means of smaller proportions. The fifth solution was to change their physical bodies by transferring their minds to other vessels, using mechanical and [[Humans|human bodies]] as test subjects. Pleading with her husband to help her, Juno managed to persuade him to volunteer for the experiment.<ref name="AC3"/> <ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

After his mind was transferred into a machine and through to a human body, Aita's mind swiftly deteriorated; while his body would survive, his mind became brittle and catatonic. With enough will, he asked his wife to end his suffering, though she would spend the next months finding ways to help him.<ref name="AC3"/> She eventually devised a plan to add samples of Aita's genetic code into the human DNA that would eventually result in the births of children with Aita's genetic code. After revealing her intentions to him, she complied with his wish and stabbed him in the heart.<ref name="AC3"/><ref name="AC4"/>

Throughout the next millennia, Aita was reincarnated in the bodies of various humans - known as [[Sages]] - such as [[Thom Kavanagh]], [[Bartholomew Roberts]], and [[John]], giving them his appearance and memories. Kavanagh wasn't able to make sense of the dual memories until he arrived at the Observatory years after he began experiencing them. It is unknown if Roberts or John experienced similar confusion. According to the Assassins, there had been over eight confirmed Sages as of 1716.<ref name="AC4"/>

==Personality and characteristics==
Aita, like many members of the First Civilization, seems to have been disappointed and even disgusted with the human race as a whole; this opinion passed to his reincarnations, and was evidenced in the Abstergo employee, John, and in Bartholomew Roberts to a lesser extent.

Aita seems to be intent upon reuniting with Juno, harming and manipulating others into doing his bidding, most of which is aimed at manifesting Juno into physical form so that they may be together.

==Trivia==
*In {{Wiki|Etruscan mythology}}, Aita was the name for the underworld, as well as the corresponding anthropomorphized deity, borrowed from the [[Greece|Greek]] {{wiki|Hades}} and [[Rome|Roman]] {{wiki|Pluto (mythology)|Pluto}}. In this regard, Etruscans depicted Aita as a bearded male wearing a [[Wolves|wolfskin]] cap.
*In some of his incarnations, Aita was seen wearing a portrait necklace depicting an unknown woman.
