==History==
After escaping The Vatican, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] and [[Mario Auditore|Mario]] took to the rooftops and made their way to a high tower overlooking a canal. Once there, Ezio withdrew the Apple of Eden from his cloak and prepared to drop it into the river… but then he hesitated. Acknowledging that destroying such a powerful artifact wasn’t a decision to be taken lightly, Mario offered to keep the Apple safe until Ezio had made up his mind, and the two rode back to their base of operations in the fortress town of [[Monteriggioni]].<ref>http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/assassins-creed-brotherhood/preview/assassins-creed-brotherhood-single-player-hands-on/a-2010101512425823079/g-2010050618435955047</ref>

Right before the Siege of Monteriggioni, Ezio handed the Apple to Mario, who was killed by Cesare Borgia and the Apple taken. Four years later, Ezio managed to take back the Apple hidden by Rodrigo Borgia in St. Peter's Basilica, and use it to demilitarize Cesare's army, and look into the future to locate Cesare in 1507. Realizing the power of the Apple, Ezio hid the Apple underneath Colosseum.

In 2012, the modern-day Assassins, [[Desmond Miles]], [[Lucy Stillman]], [[Shaun Hastings]], and [[Rebecca Crane]], locates the Apple of Eden that Ezio hid in 1507 using the Animus. As Desmond grabs the Apple, the Goddess Juno takes over his body. Claiming that she needs a sacrifice, she uses the Apple's power to force Desmond to stab Lucy.

==Trivia==
* There's an anomaly in what happened to the Apple of Eden 1. In the ending of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', Ezio hid it underneath Colosseum, and it stayed hidden until the modern day Assassins located it in 2012. Then, there is no way that Napoleon and Houdini could have used the Apple of Eden 1. Ubisoft has not rectified the mistake.
