'''Apple of Eden #3''' was a [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]], an object of ancient and technologically advanced equipment created by the [[First Civilization]] to control [[Humans|humankind]], their workforce.

The third Apple of Eden was notably used by several Presidents of the [[United States]], with [[George Washington]] being the first person known to have possessed the artifact.

==History==
Apple of Eden #3 was one of the numerous artifacts created by the First Civilization to control the minds of their slave race, the humans. After the [[Toba catastrophe]] in 75010 BCE, the First Civilization slowly became extinct, and the Pieces of Eden were scattered around the world.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]''</ref>

In October 1781, during the [[American Revolutionary War]], the [[Continental Army]] defeated the [[British Army|British]] at the {{Wiki|Siege of Yorktown}}, marking the decisive victory for the revolutionaries. During the British surrender, Commander [[George Washington]] found the Apple of Eden on 'a British officer' and, encharmed by the artifact's allure, took it from him - though he later could not remember the officer's face.<ref name="TToKW">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' - ''[[The Tyranny of King Washington]]''</ref>

After the war ended in 1783, Washington started to be plagued by dreams and visions created by the Apple, showing Washington being corrupted by the artifact's power and taking on the title of King of the United States, becoming a ruthless tyrant. Desperate to stop the visions, Washington sought out his former ally, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], in the [[Frontier|American frontier]], explaining the visions to him. Ratonhnhaké:ton wanted to see the artifact, and Washington hesitantly agreed.<ref name="TToKW"/>

As they both touched the Apple, Ratonhnhaké:ton awoke in the alternate reality, though he maintained his consciousness. With aid from American rebels, Ratonhnhaké:ton managed to defeat King Washington, though he too was ultimately drawn in by the Apple's power. When they both awoke, they both realized the Piece of Eden's dangers, and Washington told Ratonhnhaké:ton to take it from him and drop it into the sea.<ref name="TToKW"/>

Ratonhnhaké:ton took his ship the ''[[Aquila]]'' out to sea, with the Apple wrapped in a bag. In the meantime, an illusional man created by the Apple spoke to Washington in his office, attempting to persuade him of a republic's flaws and to take on the mantle of King. Washington's resolve proved stronger, and he refused the man's advice, and the illusion disappeared as Ratonhnhaké:ton dropped the Apple into depths of the sea.<ref name="TToKW"/>

By 1944, the Apple of Eden had wound up in the hands of [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], the 32nd President of the United States, who was manipulated by the [[Templars]] alongside [[Winston Churchill]], [[Joseph Stalin]] and [[Adolf Hitler]] into starting the [[World War II|Second World War]].<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

The Apple was later passed down to [[John F. Kennedy]], the 35th President, whom the Templars perceived as a threat, as he was in favor of giving the working force more civil liberties. The driver in the motorcade, [[William Greer]], under the influence of [[Apple of Eden 2|another Apple]], took Kennedy's Piece after his [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|assassination]].<ref name="AC2"/>
