The number '''72''' played a significant role to the [[Modern Times|modern day]] [[Assassins]]. Most notably, it was used as the password to gain access to the [[Colosseum Vault]] during October 2012.

==History==
As evident in the [[Scrolls of Romulus]], the earliest known user of the number 72 as the password to the Vault was [[Marcus Junius Brutus]], circa 45 B.C.E. The next known person to open the Vault was [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] in 1507, to seal the [[Ezio's Apple|Apple of Eden]] within.<ref name="brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

[[File:72numbers.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Desmond discovers the numbers left by Ezio.]]
Due to [[Desmond Miles]]' [[Bleeding effect|vision]] of Ezio in the [[Sanctuary]], it is known that Ezio later returned to the [[Villa Auditore]] to leave behind the clues to the password that would allow the modern-day Assassins to access the Vault, and obtain the Apple.<ref name="brotherhood"/>

Ezio left the clue on the Sanctuary staircase, just behind the bookcase in [[Mario Auditore|Mario]]'s study. It consisted of an etching of an equilateral triangle with nine other equilaterals within it – the same marking found on the door of the Colosseum Vault – and the numbers 1419, 1420 and 1421, which were only visible to those who possessed the gift of [[Eagle Vision]].<ref name="brotherhood"/>

===Modern-day discovery===
{{quote|The Tetragrammaton. The 72 names of God. You see? They're all contained within three verses: Exodus 19 through 21. And, get this, you'll like this. If you arrange the four Hebrew letters in God's name within an equilateral triangle, their numerical values add up to the same number: 72.|Shaun explaining the password to the other Assassins.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}

[[File:72villa.jpg|thumb|250px|Desmond and Lucy examine the markings.]]
When the group of Assassins first arrived at [[Monteriggioni]], and gained access to the Sanctuary, Desmond noticed and read out the numbers written into the wall. [[Shaun Hastings]] posited them to indicate years, though he could not think of their significance to each other.<ref name="brotherhood"/>

After discovering the location of the Apple through the use of the [[Animus]], the Assassins pondered on how to access the Vault under the [[Colosseo]]. [[Rebecca Crane]] discovered that the door required a password, but a power failure cut short their attempts to discover it.<ref name="brotherhood"/>

As the Assassins waited in the dark and contemplated their next move, Desmond remembered the markings, and pointed them out. Shaun finally discovered the significance of the numbers and explained them to the rest of the team; pointing out the 72 names of God found in Exodus chapter 14, verses 19 through 21.<ref name="brotherhood"/>

Having obtained the password, the Assassins left the Sanctuary, and headed for the Colosseo. As Desmond made his way through the ruins of the Colosseum and the path of the [[Lair of Romulus]] underneath, [[Lucy Stillman]] realized that the current date, October 10, was exactly 72 days away from the [[Abstergo Industries]] satellite launch in December 21.<ref name="brotherhood"/>

Though she wondered aloud if this was more than a coincidence, Desmond dismissed her unease, stating that; ''"Someone probably wanted to make sure we get the password right."''<ref name="brotherhood"/>

The team eventually arrived at [[Colosseum Vault|Juno's Temple]], where the door to the Vault was located. After briefly wondering if the door would understand English, Desmond spoke "72" aloud, thus opening the Vault and allowing the Assassins to enter.<ref name="brotherhood"/>

As Desmond activated the Apple, Juno told him that his journey would begin on the 72nd day before the awakening.

==Trivia==
*Both [[Rodrigo Borgia]] and [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|Maria Auditore]] died at the age of 72.
*Shaun Hastings mentions that the construction on the Colosseum started in the year 72 C.E.<ref name="brotherhood"/>
*[[William Miles]] mentions in an [[Shaun's e-mail|e-mail]] to Shaun that the team in [[Osaka]] was scheduled to make contact with headquarters in 72 hours, but that they went "dark."<ref name="brotherhood"/>
*[[Giovanni Mocenigo]] was the 72nd Doge of [[Venice]].
*The Latin Rule, the Creed of the [[Templars]] written by [[Hugh de Payns]], had 72 clauses.
*At the end of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', Shaun mentions that a Phrygian Cap and a Masonic Eye came together in only one place, though he is frozen before he can continue. This one place is actually on the [[Wikipedia:Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen|Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen]] of [[France]], which was approved in 1789. Coincidentally, 89-17=72.
*[[File:PL-Allegro.png|thumb|250px|right|The tetractys drawn by [[Pythagoras]].]]The triangular figure is also known as a [[wikipedia:Tetractys|tetractys]], and features in the [[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy#Divine Science|Divine Science]] chapters of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''.

'''A New Regime '''is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''
==Description==
Altaïr, now 64, returns to Masyaf with his wife, [[Maria Thorpe]], after a ten year absence to meet with [[Abbas Sofian]]. He wants to know why his youngest [[Sef Ibn-La'Ahad|son]] was killed. Abbas reveals that he wants the Apple for himself. Altaïr shows the Apple and demands answers. Swami approaches and puts his hand on the Apple and then reveals details about Sef's death. Altaïr uses the Apple's power on Swami, who manages to stab Maria. Altaïr and [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad|Darim]] are forced to flee Masyaf.

==Dialogue==
Altaïr and Maria speak with eachother while making their way to the Assassin fortress.
*'''Altaïr:''' ''The Templars have retaken their archive on Cyprus. Abbas sent no reinforcements. It was a massacre.''
*'''Maria:''' ''Oh my God...''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Maria, when we left Masyaf ten years ago, this Order was strong. But all our progress has been undone.''
*'''Maria:''' ''Abbas must answer for this.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Answer to whom? The Assassins obey only his command now.''
*'''Maria:''' ''Resist your desire for revenge, Altaïr. Speak truth and they will see their error.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''He executed our youngest son, Maria! He deserves to die!''
*'''Maria:''' ''Perhaps. But if you cannot win back the Order by honorable means, its foundation will crumble.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''You are right. Thirty years ago I let passion overtake my reason. And it caused a rift that has never fully healed.''
*'''Maria:''' ''Speak reasonably, and reasonable men will listen.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Some will, but not Abbas. I should have expelled him thirty years ago when he tried to steal the Apple.''
*'''Maria:''' ''But you earned the respect of the other Assassins because you let him stay.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''How do you know this? You were not there.''
*'''Maria:''' ''I married a masterful storyteller.''
They enter the Assassin fortress.
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Look at this place. Masyaf is a shadow of its former self.''
*'''Maria:''' ''We have been away for a long time.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''But not in hiding. The Mongol threat demanded our attention, and we rode to meet it. What man here can say the same?''
*'''Maria:''' ''Where is our eldest son? Does Darim know his brother is dead?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''I sent him a message four days ago. With luck it has reached him already.<br />Abbas... I almost pity him. He wears his grudge like a cloak.''
*'''Maria:''' ''His wound is deep. It will help him to hear the truth.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''As I walk these streets, I sense a great fear in the people, not love.''
*'''Maria:''' ''Abbas has dismantled this place, and robbed it of all joy.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''We may be walking to our doom, Maria.''
*'''Maria:''' ''We may. But we walk together.''
Altaïr and Maria confront Abbas.
*'''Abbas:''' ''Let them speak.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''We seek the truth about our son's death. Why was Sef killed?''
*'''Abbas:''' ''Is it the truth you want, or an excuse for revenge?''
*'''Maria:''' ''If the truth gives us an excuse, we will act on it.''
*'''Abbas:''' ''Surrender the Apple, Altaïr, and I will tell you why your son was put to death.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Ah, the truth is out already! Abbas wants the Apple for himself. Not to open your minds, but to control them!''
*'''Abbas:''' ''You have held that artifact for thirty years, Altaïr, reveling in its power and hoarding its secrets. It has corrupted you.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Very well, Abbas. Take it.''
*'''Maria:''' ''What?''
Swami walks up to Altaïr and places his hand on the Apple.
*'''Swami:''' ''Before I executed your son, I told him you ordered it yourself. He died believing you had betrayed him.''
Altaïr activates the Apple's power.
*'''Swami:''' ''Ah!''
*'''Maria:''' ''Altaïr!<br />Altaïr, no!''
Swami stabs Maria, and Altaïr stabs Swami.
*'''Maria:''' ''Strength, Altaïr.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Maria...''
*'''Abbas:''' ''He is possessed! Kill him! Take the Apple! Now!''
Altaïr makes his way out of the fortress and catches up with his son, Darim.
*'''Darim:''' ''Father! I got your message. What has happened?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Darim! Turn back!''
*'''Darim:''' ''Have they all gone mad?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''We have to go. Abbas must not get his hands on the Apple.''
*'''Darim:''' ''If you need more knives, take them.''
Altaïr and Darim make their way out of the village, killing the attacking Assassins.
*'''Darim:''' ''Where is mother?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''She is gone, Darim. I'm sorry...''
*'''Darim:''' ''What? How?!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Later. First we fight.''
*'''Darim:''' ''Brothers! We need not fight.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Forget reason, Darim. They have been poisoned by lies.''
*'''Darim:''' ''Was it Abbas who killed my brother?''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''He killed your brother, Malik, and countless others.''
*'''Darim:''' ''He is a madman.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''A madman with an army.''
*'''Darim:''' ''He will die. One day he will pay.''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''It is time to go!''
Altaïr and Darim leave the village of Masyaf.
*'''Abbas:''' ''I will have the Apple, Altaïr! And I will have your head for all the dishonor you brought upon my family! You cannot run forever! Not from us, and not from your lies!''
*'''Altaïr:''' ''Maria. My love...''

==Outcome==
Altaïr and Darim flee Masyaf after the death of Maria. Masyaf, and the Assassin Order, are left in Abbas' hands.
