'''Alexander III of Macedon''' (356 BCE – 323 BCE), commonly known as '''Alexander the Great''', was a King of {{Wiki|Macedonia (ancient kingdom)|Macedonia}}, and one of the most successful conquerors in history.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Alexander the Great's empire was backed by the [[Templars]], who had entrusted him with a [[Staves of Eden|Staff of Eden]], explaining why Alexander was able to become so successful and undefeated.<ref name="Encyclopedia">''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]''</ref><ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' - [[Abstergo Files]]</ref> In addition to the Staff, which reinforced his rule, Alexander wielded the [[Trident of Eden]] in battle.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants]]''</ref><br />
<br />
After conquering the {{Wiki|Achaemenid Empire}}, Alexander set out to take over the {{Wiki|Punjab region}} of [[India]]. In the area between the {{Wiki|Jelum River|Jelum}} and {{Wiki|Chenab River}}, he encountered a prince named {{Wiki|King Porus|Porus}} in what would become known as the {{Wiki|Battle of the Hydaspes}}.<ref name="ACI"/><br />
<br />
Despite the Punjab force's numerical superiority, including 200 elephants, Alexander's troops flanked Porus' left side. The maneuver caused the elephants to panic, and Alexander's highly mobile cavalry proved too strong for the Punjab force.<ref name="ACI"/><br />
<br />
Presumably impressed with Porus' military elegance and spirit, Alexander allowed him to retain his kingdom after the battle. Porus became an ally and subordinate ruler of Alexander, until sometime between 321 BCE and 315 BCE, when he was assassinated by {{Wiki|Eudemus (general)|Eudemus}}, one of Alexander's generals.<ref name="ACI"/><br />
<br />
During his reign, Alexander had created one of the largest empires in the world, and created a new {{Wiki|Hellenistic period|Hellenistic}} civilization by leaving Greek colonists in his conquered lands. As he continued his conquest of Asia, the [[Assassins]] realized that Alexander's success could not be caused by military prowess alone, suspecting that he held the Staff.<ref name="ACI"/><br />
<br />
Thus, in June 323 BCE, the [[Babylonian Assassins|Babylonian]] Assassin [[Iltani]] infiltrated the palace of {{Wiki|Nebuchadnezzar II}}, where she poisoned Alexander<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref> and retrieved the Staff. On 13 June, Alexander died of the poisoning, and his empire soon began to crumble.<ref name="ACI"/><br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Historically, Alexander the Great was described to have heterochromia, a common characteristic among [[Sages]].<br />
