The '''Instruments of the First Will''' is a small collective whose primary mission is the release of [[Juno]], freed from her imprisonment in the [[Grand Temple]], upon the world.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref> It is their belief that [[Humans|humanity]] should submit itself to Juno and become [[Slavery|slaves]] to the [[Isu|First Civilization]] once more,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1-CEHSGcxs&t=14m41s ''The Assassin's Den'': Darby McDevitt on philosophies, AC4 deleted scenes and the writing process]</ref> in effect acting as her agents on a global scale. However, the agents are sure that, after their death, they will become part of [[The Grey]], a post-mortem paradise created by Juno for the loyal humans where they live on happily.<br />
<br />
In operation around 2013, one of the Instruments of the First Will's primary agents was the [[Sages|Sage]] [[John Standish]], a reincarnation of [[Aita]], who had been a member of the First Civilization and the husband of Juno. During his time at the [[Abstergo Entertainment]] office in [[Montreal]], John distributed the collective's manifesto throughout the building via {{Wiki|QR code|quick response codes}} on sticky labels.<ref name="AC4"/><br />
<br />
In 2015, [[Sigma Team]] member [[Violet da Costa]], secretly an Instrument of the First Will, talked to Juno informing her that the [[Shroud of Eden 2]] was in her possession.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*The emblem is the symbol of the asteroid {{Wiki|3 Juno}}, the symbol itself is meant to be a scepter topped with a star.<br />
*The emblem can also be seen in ''[[The Lost Archive]]'' memory [[The Truth (Memory)|The Truth]].<br />
