==History==

According to [[Subject 16]], the Fourth Apple is depicted in 10th century Chinese art, as a flaming golden ball held by a small demon.<ref name="FIRST GUN">[[Assassin's Creed II]] - [[Glyphs]] - Puzzle #4 "Infinite Knowledge"</ref> This painting is the earliest known pictorial representation of firearms, and the gold ball is thought to have represented an early grenade. A hidden message in the glyph in binary code reads "Sumerian Me 23", a reference to the "Sumerian divine weaponry", which is thought to be the Fourth Apple, as it appears to have inspired the Chinese to invent gunpowder and early weapons.<ref name="FIRST GUN">[[Assassin's Creed II]] - [[Glyphs]] - Puzzle #4 "Infinite Knowledge"</ref>

The first known human possessor of the Fourth Apple is Nikola Tesla, who finds it in his home country of Croatia<ref name="TESLA HAS THE APPLE" />. When Tesla begins his experiments and intends to make free, unlimited electricity available to all,<ref name="FREE ELECTRICITY">[[Assassin's Creed II]] - [[Glyphs]] - Puzzle #12 "Titans of Industry"</ref> the [[Templars]] begin their campaign to stop him. [[Thomas Edison]] sends a letter to [[J. P. Morgan]],<ref name="FREE ELECTRICITY" /> urging him to cut funding to Tesla's experiments, and to tell other investors to avoid Tesla. Edison also begins publicly slandering Tesla and his experiments, including conducting his own "experiment" to prove that Tesla's electricity can kill people by electrifying an elephant. Some point afterward the Templars break into Tesla's lab, steal the Fourth Apple and use it to drive him insane. <ref name="THOMAS EDISON PICTURE/ORGANIZATION TOOK IT" /><ref name="HE KNEW THE SECRET">[[Assassin's Creed II]] - [[Glyphs]] - Puzzle #11 "The Inventor"</ref>

A letter comes up after clicking the glowing orb of light in the picture in the hand of Edison (presumably the Fourth Apple) in [[Glyphs|Glyph Puzzle #12]], indicating that the Apple came into Edison's possession after the Templars take it, and then later lends it to [[Henry Ford]] who manipulates assembly line workers for profit.<ref name="HENRY FORD LETTER 12" /> However Ford says "as per instructions" he ships the Fourth Apple to Europe to H. (Adolf Hitler) just before the Nazi Party takes power in Germany to begin World War II.

Hitler uses the Apple to cause Germany's rise from their recession and into one of the major forces of World War II. He also possibly uses the Apple to create a double, which he was supposed to execute inside the bunker and then flee and meet up with C. (probably Winston Churchill).<ref name="H. IS MISSING">[[Assassin's Creed II]] - [[Glyphs]] - Puzzle #17 "The Bunker"</ref> However, the Assassins were watching the bunker and killed the real Hitler<ref name="ASSASSINS TAKE OUT H.">[[Assassin's Creed II]] - [[Glyphs]] - Puzzle #17 "The Bunker"</ref> presumably taking the Fourth Apple for themselves. Only one body is ever found in the bunker when searched later. <ref name="DOUBLE">[[Assassin's Creed II]] - [[Glyphs]] - Puzzle #17 "The Bunker"</ref>
