'''Aita''' was a member of the [[First Civilization]] and the husband of [[Juno]]. He was the architect of the [[Observatory]] and the overseer of the [[Pieces of Eden]]; following his death, Juno worked to bring him back to life, and succeeded in reincarnating him several times over the millennia.

==Biography==
In his time, 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 fourth solution was tested.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

After their first three attempts of preventing the First Disaster failed, Juno and the others sought to save their race by means of smaller proportions. The fourth solution was to internally change the bodies of their kind, to what would survive the new, hostile world to come. In order to test this solution, they would need a living test subject, for which Aita volunteered.<ref name="AC3"/>

As the solution was tested, Aita's mind deteriorated within an instant; while his body would survive, his mind became brittle and catatonic. With enough will, he asked his wife to end his suffering, and Juno regrettably fulfilled his request by stabbing him in the heart, euthanizing him.<ref name="AC3"/>

Despite his death, Juno's experiments had some success. Throughout the next millennia, Aita reincarnated in the bodies of various humans, known as [[Sages]], such as [[Bartholomew Roberts]] and [[John]], giving them his appearance and memories.<ref name="AC4BF">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

==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 the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_language Basque language], "aita" means "father".
