===Essen===
In 1348, the Plague crossed Essen, a town in Germany, and wiped out half of its population. Soon after this, a group called the [[Brothers of the Cross]] arrived. The Assassin [[Lukas Zurburg]] soon found out they were a [[Templars|Templar]] organization that offered protection from the plague, and he also suspected that they were after the [[Ankh]], an artifact that was said to be located in central Europe. In 1350, both the Brothers of the Cross and Lukas disappeared.<ref name="DYL">''[[Assassin's Creed: Discover Your Legacy]]''</ref>

===Renaissance===

During the period of the [[Italy|Italian]] [[Renaissance]], [[apprentices]] from the [[Rome Assassins Guild|Roman Assassins Guild]] traveled to Germany to have a meeting with [[Conradus Celtis]], a scholar that had discovered the Assassin Order through his research. The Assassins persuaded him to keep his discoveries secret, to which he eventually agreed.<ref name="PL Contracts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts in Project Legacy]]</ref>

Soon after that, Elector [[Friedrich der Weise]] decided to found a school that would question the practices of the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]], though they prepared a bribe to prevent him from doing so.<ref name="PL Contracts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts in Project Legacy]]</ref>

However, the Assassins intercepted the carriage that was to deliver the bribe, and made the Borgia believe that the money had been stolen by bandits. From there, they then used the money to make an anonymous donation to the school.<ref name="PL Contracts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts in Project Legacy]]</ref>
