'''Solomon "Solo" Bolden''' (died 1805), better known as the '''Black Cross''', was an [[United States|American]] [[Templars|Templar]] agent active during the early 19th century.

The secret inquisitor of the [[Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order|Inner Sanctum]] like all the [[Black Cross]]es before him, Bolden travelled around the [[Earth|world]] to keep an eye on the [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Grand Masters]] of the various [[Templar Rite|Rites]], to verify that they followed the Templar Code and, if necessary, to eradicate any corrupt Templars he could find.

==Biography==
===Mission to Libya===
In 1805, Bolden posed as a [[Slavery|slaver]] sailing to [[Tripoli]] to buy slaves, while in fact he was planning to rescue his predecessor, [[Tavis Olier]], who had been presumed dead after his failure to recover the [[Koh-i-Noor]] from Sultan [[Selim III]]'s palace.<ref name="T6">''[[Assassin's Creed: Templars]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Templars 6|Issue #06]]</ref>

During the crossing of the [[Mediterranean Sea]] on the ''[[Painted Lady]]'', Bolden dispatched [[Piracy|pirates]] sent after him by the Sultan and "befriended" [[Jan van der Graff]], a [[Belgium|Flemish]] agent of [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] supposedly sent to Tripoli to acquire precious fabrics. The two men made a pact; Bolden would protect van der Graff during his mission, and the latter would use his contacts to help the Black Cross enter the palace.<ref name="T6"/>

Once in the port city of [[Derna]], the two men rode [[camel]]s to Tripoli, where they eventually met with van der Graff's contacts in a local [[tavern]]. There, [[Edmund (19th century)|Edmund]], a deserter marine, and [[Ahkbar]], a shady local, revealed to them the existence of a secret underground tunnel used by the Sultan to discreetly smuggle precious cargo into the palace.<ref name="T7">''Assassin's Creed: Templars'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Templars 7|Issue #07]]</ref>

===Death===
[[File:ACT Solomon Bolden's death.png|thumb|220px|left|Bolden's death]]
Following the departure of their companions, Bolden and van der Graff bonded over several drinks, during which the former tried to learn what "the [[diamond]]" mentioned by Edmund was. However, their conversation was interrupted by Edmund being shot dead by [[Soldier|guards]] in the street.<ref name="T7"/>

Later, the pair entered the tunnel after van der Graff [[Lockpicking|picked]] the gate's lock, but were confronted by several men waiting for them. During the brawl, Ahkbar, who was in fact an agent of the Sultan, revealed himself and stabbed Bolden in the back. With his dying breath, Bolden told van der Graff to find Tavis Olier, the Black Cross.<ref name="T7"/>

===Legacy===
Eventually, van der Graff escaped his captivity three years later, after being trained and inducted into the Templar Order by Olier during their imprisonment together. During his escape, the Flemish recovered the Koh-i-Noor before taking a ship to [[United States|America]], where he met and informed Solomon's widow of her husband's fate. At some point, van der Graff fathered a child with her, carrying on the name of the Boldens.<ref name="T9">''Assassin's Creed: Templars'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Templars 9|Issue #09]]</ref>

==Personality and traits==
Solomon Bolden was a stoic man who took his duties as the Black Cross extremely seriously. Loyal to the Templar Order and its guiding principles, he sought to ensure the Templars' continued well-being by fulfilling his duties by whatever means necessary. During his assignments, he generally took the position of a silent observer, avoiding contact with others as much as possible and keeping his answers short and to the point whenever he was asked personal details.<ref name="T6"/>

After meeting Jan van der Graff, Bolden was annoyed by the Flemish's overly friendly and theatrical demeanor,<ref name="T6"/> and in time grew suspicious of him after realizing that van der Graff knew more than he let on. Nevertheless, he maintained his partnership with him, believing that it would facilitate his mission, and became accustomed to his quips, which he occasionally responded to with sarcastic remarks of his own.<ref name="T7"/>

[[File:ACT Drunk Solomon and Jan.png|thumb|250px|Bolden getting drunk with Jan van der Graff]]
Bolden struggled to hold his liquor, becoming inebriated after just a few drinks, which foiled his plan to get van der Graff intoxicated to learn what exactly he knew about him and the Templars. Nevertheless, this experience ended up bringing the two closer together, and Bolden came to trust van der Graff with his life, apologizing for misjudging him.<ref name="T7"/>

===Skills and equipment===
Bolden was a highly skilled swordsman, easily beheading the pirate captain sent to kill him,<ref name="T6"/> as well as besting at least one of Selim's royal guards. His skill was noted by van der Graff, who believed that the Black Cross' prowess would help him get into the palace.<ref name="T7"/> He also appeared to possess highly developed reflexes, once catching a knife thrown at van der Graff mere inches from his face.<ref name="T6"/>

'''Jan van der Graff''' was a [[Belgium|Flemish]] agent of the [[France|French]] [[French Empire|Emperor]] [[Napoleon Bonaparte|Napoleon I]] active during the early 19th century. He later became a [[Black Cross]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]] after being trained by [[Tavis Olier]]. He was also the great-great-grandfather of [[André Bolden]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
During the [[Napoleonic Wars]], Jan changed sides and left the Belgian army, only to discover that his wife and child had been killed during the bombardment of his city by French troops.<ref name="T9">''[[Assassin's Creed: Templars]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Templars 9|Issue #09]]</ref> Soon afterwards, he became an agent of Emperor Napoleon I.<ref name="T6">''Assassin's Creed: Templars'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Templars 6|Issue #06]]</ref>

===Agent of Bonaparte===
In 1805, Jan was sent to [[Libya]] on a mission, officially to acquire textiles. While they were both sailing toward Libya on the ''[[Painted Lady]]'', Jan met [[Solomon Bolden|Solomon "Solo" Bolden]], the Black Cross of the Templar Order, who was at the time posing as a [[Slavery|slaver]]. Despite finding him annoying, Bolden nevertheless accepted to protect Jan during his mission for Napoleon after the Flemish helped him fend off [[Piracy|pirates]] sent by Sultan [[Selim III]] to kill him. To secure Bolden's help, Jan also promised to help the Templar enter the Sultan's palace.<ref name="T6"/>

[[File:ACT Jan van der Graff dealing with Edmund.png|thumb|250px|left|Jan dealing with Edmund]]
Once in the port city of [[Derna]], the two men took [[camel]]s and traveled to [[Tripoli]], where they eventually met with Jan's contacts in a local [[tavern]]. There, [[Edmund (19th century)|Edmund]], a deserter of the marines, and [[Ahkbar]], a shady local, revealed to them the existence of a secret underground tunnel used by the Sultan to discreetly smuggle precious cargo into the palace. Following the departure of their companions, Bolden and Jan bonded over several drinks, during which the Black Cross tried to learn what "the [[Koh-i-Noor|diamond]]" mentioned by Edmund was. However, their conversation was interrupted by Edmund being shot dead by [[Soldier|guards]] in the street.<ref name="T7">''Assassin's Creed: Templars'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Templars 7|Issue #07]]</ref>

Later, the pair entered the tunnel after Jan [[Lockpicking|picked]] the gate's lock, but were confronted by several men waiting for them. During the brawl, Ahkbar, who was in fact an agent of the Sultan, revealed himself and stabbed Bolden in the back. Before dying, Bolden asked Jan to find the Black Cross, much to the latter's confusion.<ref name="T7"/>

Subsequently, the Flemish was seized and tortured by the Sultan's men, since Selim believed Jan to be another Templar agent sent to steal his "treasure". Although his guards and Ahkbar told him that Jan knew nothing of the Templars or the true power of "the diamond", Selim was unconvinced and ordered that the Flemish be imprisoned in the palace's dungeon. Inside his cell, Jan met his fellow inmate, [[Tavis Olier]], Bolden's predecessor in the position of Black Cross.<ref name="T8">''Assassin's Creed: Templars'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Templars 8|Issue #08]]</ref>

===Becoming a Templar===
[[File:Black Cross Graff.png|thumb|230px|Jan as the Black Cross in 1808]]
During the three years they were imprisoned together, Olier trained Jan while teaching him about the Templars' ideals and the Black Cross' purpose, and eventually [[Initiation into the Templar Order|inducted]] him into the Order. On 29 July 1808, Olier heard that the [[Assassins]] were coming to buy the artifact held by the Sultan. In order to escape, the two Templars assaulted the guards bringing them food, but Olier had to sacrifice himself to allow Jan to accomplish their mission.<ref name="T9"/>

After dispatching several guards, the Templar reached Selim's apartment, where he discovered that Ahkbar, who was an Assassin, had already poisoned the monarch and had taken possession of his prize, the fabled Koh-i-Noor. After revealing that he intended to betray the Brotherhood and keep the artifact for himself, Ahkbar tried to use the Koh-i-Noor and its power to create illusions against Jan, but the latter saw through the apparitions and killed Ahkbar.<ref name="T9"/>

A group of Assassins quickly surrounded Jan, but having heard Ahkbar's speech and after the Flemish told them that he wanted no part in their [[Assassin-Templar War|secret war]] against the Templars, they spared him and left with the box containing the Koh-i-Noor. However, Jan had lied about his commitment to the Order and had in fact removed the diamond from its box before giving it to the Assassins.<ref name="T9"/>

===Later life and legacy===
Shortly afterwards, Jan left the [[Maghreb|Barbary Coast]] and sailed to the [[United States]] with the Koh-i-Noor, which he swore to protect. Seeking out Bolden's widow, he informed her of her late husband's exploits. The pair grew close and, after a night of passion, Jan fathered a child with her, who carried on the Bolden name.<ref name="T9"/>

[[File:ACT Jan van der Graff meeting Bolden's wife.png|thumb|220px|left|Jan meeting Bolden's widow]]
This unanticipated coupling threatened to derail the Templars' pursuit of the Koh-i-Nor in 2016, when they were researching the [[Bolden family|Bolden bloodline]] to track down the artifact.<ref name="T9"/> Because the family had counted many Black Crosses among their number, the Templars believed that exploring the Bolden lineage could lead them to the [[Piece of Eden]], but struggled to identify the correct ancestor who had been in possession of the Koh-i-Noor during the early 19th century.<ref name="T6"/>

Fortunately, [[Juhani Otso Berg]], with the help of Jan's great-great-grandson [[André Bolden]], was able to correctly identify Jan as the ancestor they needed, and subsequently had André relive his [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] in the [[Animus]].<ref name="T6"/> Although Jan's memories proved to be a dead end in determining in the Koh-i-Noor's whereabouts, they helped André deal with his [[Vietnam War]] PTSD and inspired him to reconnect with his estranged daughter.<ref name="T9"/>

==Personality and traits==
{{Dialogue|Bolden|Graff, I truly cannot tell if you are very clever or a complete fool.|Jan|You speak as if one negates the other.|Solomon Bolden and Jan van der Graff, 1805.|Assassin's Creed: Templars|Assassin's Creed: Templars 7}}
At first glance, Jan van der Graff was an overtly friendly individual who spoke in a theatrical manner and always had a joke at the ready to lighten the mood. He also tended to act in a very boisterous and dramatic way, such as loudly announcing places he had never been to before. This caused Solomon Bolden to initially dismiss Jan as a "fool", though he quickly deduced that there was more to the Flemish than he let on. Indeed, all of Jan's theatrics were just an act to conceal his true intentions and personality.<ref name="T7"/>

Having been deeply traumatized by the deaths of his wife and child,<ref name="T9"/> Jan felt lost and like he no longer had a purpose, causing him to seek thrills in everything he did.<ref name="T7"/> An intelligent man, he was always two steps ahead of both his allies and enemies by maintaining his façade of a friendly merchant with a self-proclaimed distaste for violence so he would appear vulnerable.<ref name="T6"/> After witnessing the death of his supposed long-time friend Edmund, Jan quickly brushed it aside, much to Bolden's suspicion. In response, the Flemish, in a rare moment of sincerity, told him that his experiences had left him with "no more tears to grieve old friends".<ref name="T7"/>

During his training with Tavis Olier, Jan came to learn and embrace the Templar ideals, finding a new purpose in being the Black Cross and upholding the Templars' principles. He also finally dropped his friendly façade and began to take situations more seriously, allowing him to easily kill Ahkbar using the lessons learned during his training. However, as his descendant André put it, Jan did not completely lose the "Bolden charm", which eventually won over Solomon's widow and led to them falling in love.<ref name="T9"/>

===Skills and equipment===
[[File:ACT Jan van der Graff picking the lock.png|thumb|220px|Jan picking a lock]]
Jan was a trained soldier and a capable swordsman, besting pirates as well as palace guards.<ref name="T6"/> He was also a skilled lockpicker and multilingual, being fluent in Arabic.<ref name="T7"/>

After being trained by Tavis Olier for over three years, Jan became far more skilled, mastering stealth and unarmed combat. He was capable of throwing a sword directly into an enemy's chest. He also seemed to have enhanced his senses enough to best the illusions created by Ahkbar with the Koh-i-Noor and sense the arrival of the Assassins. During his encounter with the Assassins, Jan displayed his skills in deception by successfully convincing his assailants that he had no loyalty to the Templars.<ref name="T9"/>

==Trivia==
*Jan's surname is similar to that of the 18th-century [[Netherlands|Dutch]] merchant and smuggler [[Milo van der Graaff]], but their exact relation – if any exists – is unknown.

During the three years they were imprisoned together, Olier trained Jan while teaching him about the Templars' ideals and the Black Cross' purpose, and eventually [[Initiation into the Templar Order|inducted]] him into the Order. On 29 July 1808, Olier heard that the [[Assassins]] were coming to buy the artifact held by the Sultan. In order to escape, the two Templars assaulted the guards bringing them food, but Olier had to sacrifice himself to allow Jan to accomplish their mission.<ref name="T9"/>

After dispatching several guards, the Templar reached Selim's apartment, where he discovered that Ahkbar, who was an Assassin, had already poisoned the monarch and had taken possession of his prize, the fabled Koh-i-Noor. After revealing that he intended to betray the Brotherhood and keep the artifact for himself, Ahkbar tried to use the Koh-i-Noor and its power to create illusions against Jan, but the latter saw through the apparitions and killed Ahkbar.<ref name="T9"/>

A group of Assassins quickly surrounded Jan, but having heard Ahkbar's speech and after the Flemish told them that he wanted no part in their [[Assassin-Templar War|secret war]] against the Templars, they spared him and left with the box containing the Koh-i-Noor. However, Jan had lied about his commitment to the Order and had in fact removed the diamond from its box before giving it to the Assassins.<ref name="T9"/>

===Later life and legacy===
Shortly afterwards, Jan left the Barbary Coast and sailed to the [[United States]] with the Koh-i-Noor, which he swore to protect. Seeking out Bolden's widow, he informed her of her late husband's exploits. The pair grew close and, after a night of passion, Jan fathered a child with her, who carried on the Bolden name.<ref name="T9"/>

[[File:ACT Jan van der Graff meeting Bolden's wife.png|thumb|220px|left|Jan meeting Bolden's widow]]
This unanticipated coupling threatened to derail the Templars' pursuit of the Koh-i-Nor in 2016, when they were researching the [[Bolden family|Bolden bloodline]] to track down the artifact.<ref name="T9"/> Because the family had counted many Black Crosses among their number, the Templars believed that exploring the Bolden lineage could lead them to the [[Piece of Eden]], but struggled to identify the correct ancestor who had been in possession of the Koh-i-Noor during the early 19th century.<ref name="T6"/>

Fortunately, [[Juhani Otso Berg]], with the help of Jan's great-great-grandson [[André Bolden]], was able to correctly identify Jan as the ancestor they needed, and subsequently had André relive his [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] in the [[Animus]].<ref name="T6"/> Although Jan's memories proved to be a dead end in determining in the Koh-i-Noor's whereabouts, they helped André deal with his [[Vietnam War]] PTSD and inspired him to reconnect with his estranged daughter.<ref name="T9"/>

==Personality and traits==
{{Dialogue|Bolden|Graff, I truly cannot tell if you are very clever or a complete fool.|Jan|You speak as if one negates the other.|Solomon Bolden and Jan van der Graff, 1805.|Assassin's Creed: Templars|Assassin's Creed: Templars 7}}
At first glance, Jan van der Graff was an overtly friendly individual who spoke in a theatrical manner and always had a joke at the ready to lighten the mood. He also tended to act in a very boisterous and dramatic way, such as loudly announcing places he had never been to before. This caused Solomon Bolden to initially dismiss Jan as a "fool", though he quickly deduced that there was more to the Flemish than he let on. Indeed, all of Jan's theatrics were just an act to conceal his true intentions and personality.<ref name="T7"/>

Having been deeply traumatized by the deaths of his wife and children,<ref name="T9"/> Jan felt lost and like he no longer had a purpose, causing him to seek thrills in everything he did.<ref name="T7"/> An intelligent man, he was always two steps ahead of both his allies and enemies by maintaining his façade of a friendly merchant with a self-proclaimed distaste for violence so he would appear vulnerable.<ref name="T6"/> After witnessing the death of his supposed long-time friend Edmund, Jan quickly brushed it aside, much to Bolden's suspicion. In response, the Flemish, in a rare moment of sincerity, told him that his experiences had left him with "no more tears to grieve old friends".<ref name="T7"/>

During his training with Tavis Olier, Jan came to learn and embrace the Templar ideals, finding a new purpose in being the Black Cross and upholding the Templars' principles. He also finally dropped his friendly façade and began to take situations more seriously, allowing him to easily kill Ahkbar using the lessons learned during his training. However, as his descendant André put it, Jan did not completely lose the "Bolden charm", which eventually won over Solomon's widow and led to them falling in love.<ref name="T9"/>

===Skills and equipment===
[[File:ACT Jan van der Graff picking the lock.png|thumb|220px|Jan picking a lock]]
Jan was a trained soldier and a capable swordsman, besting pirates as well as palace guards.<ref name="T6"/> He was also a skilled lockpicker and multilingual, being fluent in Arabic.<ref name="T7"/>

After being trained by Tavis Olier for over three years, Jan became far more skilled, mastering stealth and unarmed combat. He was capable of throwing a sword directly into an enemy's chest. He also seemed to have enhanced his senses enough to best the illusions created by Ahkbar with the Koh-i-Noor and sense the arrival of the Assassins. During his encounter with the Assassins, Jan displayed his skills in deception by successfully convincing his assailants that he had no loyalty to the Templars.<ref name="T9"/>

==Trivia==
*Jan's surname is similar to that of the 18th-century [[Netherlands|Dutch]] merchant and smuggler [[Milo van der Graaff]], but their exact relation – if any exists – is unknown.

Milo van der Graaff

{{Era|Individuals}}
{{Imageneed|''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''}}
{{Character Infobox
|name = Milo van der Graaff
|image =
|species = [[Human]]
|database = [[Database: Milo van der Graaff|Milo van der Graaff]]
}}
'''Milo van der Graaff''', self-proclaimed "Honest Businessman and Friend", was a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] naval trader of dubious legality who operated in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] in the early 18th century.

==Biography==
Having built a powerful trading fleet in the West Indies, Milo operated as a [[merchant]], [[Smuggling|smuggler]], and [[Piracy|pirate]] during the final decades of the [[Golden Age of Piracy]]. Around 1717, he established contact with the pirate captain [[Edward Kenway]], by way of his representatives sent to the naval [[fort]]s liberated by the latter. Over the following years, Milo employed Edward's services numerous times to sink or capture [[United Kingdom|British]]<ref name="Blind">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Blind Justice]]</ref> and [[Spain|Spanish]] warships,<ref name="Eye">''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[An Eye for an Eye (Black Flag)|An Eye for an Eye]]</ref> as well as [[pirate hunter]]s,<ref name="Hunter">''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[Hunter Gatherer]]</ref> eliminate particular individuals,<ref name="Law">''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[The Law of the Ocean]]</ref> and aid his own trading fleet.<ref name="Wood">''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[Driftwood]]</ref>

Eventually, both the Spanish and the British declared Milo a wanted man, forcing him to leave the West Indies for good. Edward assisted him one final time, escorting him to safety after fighting through four enemy fleets. For all of his efforts, Milo rewarded Edward with a set of powerful [[Golden Flintlock Pistols]], which the pirate kept as his personal firearms.<ref name="TFC">''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[The Final Contract]]</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
Milo van der Graaff is a character introduced in the 2013 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''. Despite being the one assigning all naval contracts in the game, he never makes a physical appearance, only communicating with Edward through letters and his representatives. This changed in the 2026 remake, ''[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced]]'', where Milo personally visits Edward at his [[Great Inagua]] hideout to introduce himself and propose a direct collaboration.

When talking to Edward, Milo speaks with a noticeable German accent, despite his supposed Dutch origins.

Milo's surname is similar to that of the 19th-century [[Belgium|Flemish]] merchant and [[Black Cross]] [[Jan van der Graff]], but their exact relation – if any exists – is unknown.

===Etymology===
Milo is related to the name ''Miles'', which is the Latin word for "soldier"; however, it has also been suggested to be a derivation of the Slavic ''mil'', meaning "grace, gracious." His surname is composed of the Dutch words ''van'', ''der'', and ''Graaf'', meaning "from, of", "the", and "count".

The [[Kanien'kehá:ka]] [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], also known as Connor, wore a set of '''robes''' which could be [[Customization/Gallery#Assassin's Creed III|dyed]] at general stores in various color schemes.

Shay Cormac's robes

2026-07-12T19:55:29Z

General Clanker:

{{Era|Culture|Assassins|Templars}}
The [[Assassins|Assassin]]-turned-[[Templars|Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]] wore several sets of '''robes''' throughout his life. In addition, over the course of the [[Seven Years' War]], Shay acquired numerous sets of [[armor]].

==Assassin robes==
[[File:ACRG Assassin outfit.png|250px|thumb|Shay wearing his Assassin robes]]
Shay wore these robes as a member of the [[American Brotherhood of Assassins|Colonial Brotherhood of Assassins]].

The robes featured a white hood, which Shay kept down when not on missions, a white undershirt with the torso bearing an open collar, and the robes themselves, which were grayish blue. The upper body also featured a shoulder belt, which holstered Shay's [[air rifle]] at the back.

The lower part of the robes were doubly layered and about equal in length. The back of the lower portion formed an [[Assassin insignia]]. The waist featured a red sash with a square pattern, which was fastened by a belt featuring [[Yggdrasil]]. The belt held a single pouch and two [[Firearm|pistol]] holsters on the right hip.<ref name="ACRG">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>

==Interim robes==
[[File:ACRG Interim outfit.png|250px|thumb|left|Shay wearing his interim robes]]
These robes were given to Shay by [[Barry Finnegan|Barry]] and [[Cassidy Finnegan]] after they nursed him back to health following his fall from a cliff whilst escaping the Assassins. The robes had originally belonged to the Finnegans' late son, who was a Templar agent.

The attire was similar to Shay's Assassin robes, consisting of a yellow undershirt, with the torso bearing an open collar, and the robes themselves, which were black. There was also a black shirt beneath his undershirt. The shoulders each displayed a cross containing {{Wiki|triquetra}}s. The upper body once again featured a shoulder belt which holstered Shay's air rifle at the back, whilst the front displayed a [[Templar insignia]].

The lower part of the robes featured a belt around the waist. The belt once again featured Yggdrasil and held four pouches as well as two pistol holsters on the right hip.<ref name="ACRG"/>

==Templar robes==
[[File:ACRG Templar outfit.png|250px|thumb|Shay wearing his Templar robes]]
Shay wore these robes as a member of the [[American Rite of the Templar Order|Colonial Rite of the Templar Order]].

The robes were an evolution of the interim robes, with a more ornate design. It displayed the addition of a red tailcoat on top of the yellow undershirt, the open collar now covered by the lapels. The shoulders continued to each display a cross with triquetras, and the upper body now featured two shoulder belts. The larger belt continued its function of holstering Shay's air rifle, as well as featuring a Templar insignia at the front.

The lower part of the robes continued to feature a long layered lower section, and the waist featured a yellow sash, which was red along the edges and displayed a cross. The sash was fastened by a belt which once more featured Yggdrasil and held six pouches, as well as two pistol holsters on the right hip.<ref name="ACRG"/>

==Versailles robes==
[[File:ACRG Versailles outfit.png|250px|thumb|left|Shay wearing his Versailles robes]]
These robes were worn by Shay later in his life. He obtained them sometime prior to his arrival in [[Versailles]], [[France]].

The robes were similar to Shay's previous set in terms of shape. The attire was ornate in appearance, consisting of a white undershirt with a white tie and the robes themselves, which were beige and had a blue interior. The shoulder pads displayed {{wiki|Celtic knot}}s at the front and back. The robes additionally featured an open-collared torso and a shoulder belt which connected with the belt on the waist.

The lower part of the robes once again featured a long, layered lower section. The waist featured a red sash, which was fastened by a belt that held six pouches and two pistol holsters.<ref name="ACRG"/>

Aveline de Grandpré's robes

2026-07-12T19:41:55Z

General Clanker:

{{Era|Culture|Assassins}}
The [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]] wore a set of '''robes''' which could be customized, either by dyeing them or equipping different headwear.

==Assassin robes==
[[File:ACL Assassin Outfit.png|250px|thumb|Aveline wearing her Assassin robes]]
Aveline's standard robes which she wore throughout her life.<ref name="Liberation">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>

The attire consisted of an undershirt, the robes themselves, which were patterned along the edges, and [[leather]] spaulders. The last of these were connected at the front by two belts and also featured a single shoulderguard. The [[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation outfits|outfit]] also came with a scarf that had a pattern similar to the sash Aveline wore around her waist.<ref name="Liberation" />

The lower part of the robes were doubly layered and about equal in length. The sash was fastened with an [[Assassin insignia]], which held two [[Firearm|pistol]] holsters and pouches containing cartridges, [[Smoke screen bomb|smoke bombs]] and [[poison dart]]s.<ref name="Liberation" />

===Customization===
Aveline had access to various dyes, which could be used for all three of her guises. These outfits could be dyed at any [[tailor]] shop, or in Aveline's hideout at her family's [[De Grandpré warehouse|warehouse]] in [[New Orleans]].<ref name="Liberation" />

In addition, Aveline possessed several pieces of headwear, including a beaked hood, which could be worn with her Assassin outfit.<ref name="Liberation" />

==Behind the scenes==
One of Aveline's [[Hidden Blade]] bracers was adorned with the symbol of {{Wiki|Erzulie}}. In-game models depict said bracer as being on Aveline's left arm, but promotional art is generally inconsistent, with some showing it strapped around the left arm, while others show it strapped around the right arm.

Edward Kenway's robes

2026-07-12T19:32:51Z

General Clanker:

{{Era|Culture|Assassins}}
{{Quote|An imposter wears the costume of a traitor. How much lower can one fall?|An Assassin in Tulum on Edward and his robes, 1716.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag|Nothing Is True...}}
Throughout his career as a [[Piracy|pirate]] and later [[Assassins|Assassin]], [[Edward Kenway]] wore one notable set of '''robes''', which suffered several modifications over the years, altering their appearance.

==History==
The robes originally belonged to the Assassin defector [[Duncan Walpole]]. Ownership of the uniform passed to Edward Kenway after he killed Walpole in 1715 while en route to join the [[West Indies Rite of the Templar Order|West Indies Templars]] in [[Havana]], [[Cuba]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Edward Kenway (memory)|Edward Kenway]]</ref> Although Edward had initially stolen the robes to impersonate Walpole,<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[Mister Walpole, I Presume?]]</ref> he continued wearing them after that ruse had blown, going as far as to heavily customize them with [[leather]] padding, holsters, and other protective gear so that they subsequently became his main outfit.<ref name="The Treasure Fleet">''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[The Treasure Fleet]]</ref>

The Assassins in [[Tulum]] were most displeased that a pirate had appropriated one of their uniforms as his own, particularly since Edward had endangered their lives by delivering Walpole's intel on their secret bases to the [[Templars]] for a reward during his impersonation.<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[Nothing Is True...]]</ref> The [[West Indies Brotherhood of Assassins|West Indies Brotherhood]]'s [[Mentor]] [[Ah Tabai]] bluntly told him that he was "prancing about in a uniform he had not earned".<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[Overrun and Outnumbered]]</ref>

[[File:To Suffer Without Dying 9.png|thumb|250px|Ah Tabai handing Edward the robes]]
However, Edward eventually had a change of character and relinquished his pirate life to join the Assassins in 1721. Having made amends by protecting them from the Templars,<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[...Everything Is Permitted]]</ref> thwarting the Order's plans for global surveillance with the [[Observatory (Isu)|Observatory]],<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[Ever a Splinter]]</ref> and toppling the entire West Indies Rite,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Essential Guide]]''</ref> the Assassins came to forgive Edward and welcome him as one of their own. By the time Edward finally sailed home to [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]], he was a full-fledged Assassin, having essentially grown into the robes.<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[The End]]</ref>

Edward continued wearing the outfit for several years afterwards, including on his travels to [[Southeast Asia]] in 1725.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 2|Episode 2]]</ref> During this time, a replica of the costume was made, to be worn by Edward's friend [[John Young]] while he served as the Assassin's decoy.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 32|Episode 32]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 82|Episode 82]]</ref> Following his retirement,<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 151|Episode 151]]</ref> Edward abandoned the robes in favor of a dark blue noble coat,<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[How Grand, Master Kenway!]]</ref> and the outfit eventually came into the possession of the [[American Brotherhood of Assassins|Colonial Assassins]], who further modified it.<ref>{{Twitter|OfficialAidenP|status/648579503816605697|Pabesco ★|quote=@BangBangClick @AshrafAIsmail thoughts?

In the 21st century, the Templars' front company [[Abstergo Industries]] made [[Animus mod|digital models]] of the robes for [[Animus]] users' characters to wear while they participated in [[Abstergo Entertainment]]'s [[Identity Project]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Identity]]''</ref>

==Design==
===Duncan Walpole's robes===
[[File:AC4 Duncan Walpole's robes.png|230px|thumb|left|Edward wearing Duncan Walpole's robes]]
The basic design of the robes when Duncan Walpole wore them was blue with a white interior. It consisted of a white undershirt and a white hood, which was connected to the robes themselves. The torso displayed an open collar. The outfit also featured two white shoulder belts, one on the undershirt and the other on the outside of the robes, featuring an [[Assassin insignia]] near the right shoulder.<ref name="AC4">''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag''</ref>

The lower part of the robes were doubly layered and about equal in length. The waist featured a wide red sash fastened with a white belt, which held two pistol holsters and three pouches, the largest of which featured an Assassin insignia.<ref name="AC4" />

===Edward Kenway's robes===
[[File:AC4 Edward Kenway's Robes.png|230px|thumb|Edward wearing his Assassin robes]]
It was while onboard a [[ship]] in the [[Spanish Treasure Fleet]] that Edward first heavily modified Duncan Walpole's robes in order to better suit his style and needs.<ref name="The Treasure Fleet"/>

The robes retained the white hood and now included leather padding and metal bracers. They also featured blue lining along the torso and a brown shoulder belt, which held two pistol holsters at the front. The wide red sash was retained and was fastened by a loose hanging belt, which held two pistol holsters. The lower portion of his robes also included white trousers and black boots.<ref name="AC4" />

==Behind the scenes==
These Assassin robes are the default and main outfit of Edward Kenway, the protagonist of the video game ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' (2013), although he is not an Assassin throughout much of the story. The outfit is notable in that it was the first departure from the usual beaked hood style of previous Assassin protagonists.

In the game's story, the robes are stolen off the corpse of the Assassin defector Duncan Walpole in the opening act. Initially, they do not closely resemble the design of Edward's outfit as depicted in marketing material. It is only after the player progressively upgrades the outfit by [[Crafting (Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag)|crafting]] pieces of leather armour and holsters with materials acquired from [[hunting]] that the uniform begins to take on the iconic appearance of Edward's outfit. The colours of the robes are customizable by purchasing other designs which are presented as other outfits but are identical in appearance save for the colour scheme.

As with other legacy outfits, Edward's robes have been made available as a customization option in subsequent games, including ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' (2014), ''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' (2014), ''[[Assassin's Creed: Identity]]'' (2014), ''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' (2015), ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' (2017), ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' (2020), and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' (2025). The outfit is also included in ''[[Assassin's Creed III Remastered]]'' (2019), although it is absent from the original ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' (2012) since it predates ''Black Flag''.

In the [[Helix Rift Event]] ''[[Dead Men's Gold]]'', added to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rebellion]]'' in March 2020, Edward's character model is depicted with his Assassin robes, despite the events of ''Dead Men's Gold'' taking place in 1713, two years before Edward acquired the outfit from Duncan Walpole.

Based on the robe given by [[Niccolò Machiavelli]] to Ezio after the [[Siege of Monteriggioni|siege]] of [[Monteriggioni]], the robe was made available to the [[Sparta]]n ''[[Mercenary|misthios]]'' [[Kassandra]] through an [[Animus]] [[Animus mod|modification]] by [[Layla Hassan]], an [[Assassins|Assassin]] who relived her memories.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]''</ref>

Ezio Auditore's robes

2026-07-12T19:10:38Z

General Clanker:

{{Era|Culture|Assassins}}
{{update|''[[Assassin's Creed: Nexus VR]]''}}
The [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] wore several sets of '''robes''' throughout his life, of which three were fully customizable (adding [[armor]], dyeing the robes, and equipping different capes) along with more special sets of robes that each came with near-unbreakable armor, though they could not be customized.

==Giovanni's robes==
[[File:Ezio-plainrobes-ac2.png|250px|thumb|Ezio wearing Giovanni's robes]]
Ezio inherited the Assassin robes of his father, [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze]], following his arrest. These robes were symbolic for the Assassin Order, with its beaked hood and the faded white cloth.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

The standard robes were worn over Ezio's normal clothing. The upper body featured a hood with the center shaped to resemble an eagle's beak, which was connected to the robes, with the torso bearing an open collar.<ref name="AC2"/>

The lower part of the robes were doubly layered, with the back of the robes trailing down to be longer than the front. Around the waist was a long red sash with pouches attached to a belt, holding [[Bombs#Smoke bombs|smoke bombs]], [[Hidden Gun|bullets]], [[Poison Blade|poison]] and [[Doctors|medicine]] vials. The belt also held together an ornate [[Assassin insignia]], with scabbards holding [[throwing knives]] flanking it. The robes featured a leather spaulder where a cape was attached, draped over and around Ezio's left arm and shoulder.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Customization===
The robes could be dyed with any color that a [[Tailors|tailor]] had to offer. Armor could also be added, and any combination of leather, Helmschmied, metal and Missaglias armor pieces. However, for purely stylistic choices, any combination of armor pieces may have been used together.<ref name="AC2"/>

Ezio had a choice to wear one of four capes with the robes; the standard cape, the [[Assassin's Creed II outfits#Medici Cape|Medici cape]], the [[Assassin's Creed II outfits#Venetian Cape|Venetian cape]] and the [[Assassin's Creed II outfits#Auditore Cape|Auditore cape]], though the standard cape was the only one that Ezio was able to dye, while the others granted him certain privileges or notoriety.<ref name="AC2"/>

==Roman robes==
[[File:Ezio-plainrobes-brotherhood.png|thumb|left|250px|Ezio wearing his Roman robes]]
After the siege of [[Monteriggioni]], Ezio was given a new set of robes, provided by [[Niccolò Machiavelli]], which looked strikingly similar to both his father's robes, and the robes of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]].<ref name="ACB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

Ezio's [[Rome|Roman]] robes showed similarities between Giovanni and Altaïr's robes in its design, as they had a long, layered lower section, although they maintained the open collared torso similar to Giovanni's robes, and included a closed collar beneath. The hood shape from the previous robes had been kept as well, along with the wide, red sash displaying the Assassin's insignia and the function of carrying Ezio's throwing knives. The robes also continued to feature the cape over Ezio's left arm and shoulder with a leather spaulder.<ref name="ACB"/>

===Customization===
The customization system had been improved, with the opportunity to dye the cape separately to the main body of the robe, allowing for many color combinations. Most of the previous dye colors had returned, although some of them had been renamed, along with a new batch of Roman-based colors.<ref name="ACB"/>

Again, the armor system allowed for further customization with four armor sets: the Roman, Rondelle, Plate, and Seusenhofer armors (with similar strengths to Leather, Helmschmied, Metal, and Missaglias respectively), which could all be used in any combination. The Auditore, Medici, and Venetian capes also returned, with the addition of the Borgia cape, though the standard cape was the only one which could be dyed.<ref name="ACB"/>

==Pilgrimage robes==
[[File:Ezio-plainrobes-revelations.png|thumb|250px|Ezio wearing his Pilgrimage robes]]
By 1511, Ezio had once again changed his outward appearance, having a set of robes designed for traveling to [[Masyaf]]. Unlike his previous outfits, they were largely gray in color, rather than the usual Assassin white, and had a gray-white fur padding on the left shoulder and under both bracers, as opposed to the leather his previous outfits had. Ezio chose to wear a dark blue scarf around his neck to protect himself from the extreme weather.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

After being ambushed by a large group of [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] [[Templars]] upon arriving at Masyaf, Ezio removed his cape before combating his attackers, and he did not replace it afterwards.<ref name="ACR"/>

The robes also bore the [[Constantinople]] Assassin insignia and a small, adorned buckle in a shape of diamond, which connected the belts which crossed over his chest. There was also an upside-down Assassin insignia on the tip of the hood. Additionally, small patterns appear to be imprinted on the grey fabric of the robes.<ref name="ACR"/>

===Customization===
The robes could once again be dyed with any color that a tailor had to offer, with color combinations designed to fit the Turkish setting. New armor sets were also available at the blacksmith shops, being the Azap, Mamluk and Sepahi sets.<ref name="ACR"/>

As Ezio had lost his cape during his skirmish with the Byzantine Templars in Masyaf, he was not able to dye it at the tailors in Constantinople, as opposed to the tailors in the [[Italy|Italian]] cities before.<ref name="ACR" />

==Special robes==
*[[Armor of Altaïr]]
*[[Armor of Brutus]]
*[[Helmschmied Drachen Armor]]
*[[Armor of Ishak Pasha]]
*[[Turkish Assassin Armor]]
*[[Master Assassin Armor]]

==Trivia ==
;''Assassin's Creed II''
*On the front cover art, Ezio was shown wearing a variation of the pauldrons for the Metal set. However, on the back cover art, he was not wearing any pauldrons other than the one which came with Giovanni's robes.
;''Assassin's Creed II: Discovery''
*The Assassin [[Raphael Sánchez]] first mistook Giovanni's robes to be of [[Venice|Venetian]] craftsmanship, which Ezio immediately corrected to [[Florence|Florentine]].
;''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''
*There was a hidden method by which Ezio's armor could be removed. If he wore the Armor of Brutus and [[Desmond Miles]] returned to Memory Sequence 2, before going to the [[blacksmith]] and equipping the spaulders of the Roman set, Ezio would only have the Roman spaulders equipped after exiting the replay of the memory. However, if Ezio went back to the hideout on [[Tiber Island headquarters|Tiber Island]], he could re-equip any armor set.
**To fully remove all armor including the spaulders however, one would have to gain all the six Romulus Scrolls, unlock the vault to the Armor of Brutus and, right before the cutscene ended at the white screen, pause at that exact moment and then return to Sequence 2, start the mission with Machiavelli and then exit the memory, which would result in all of Ezio's armor being removed and the Armor of Brutus being available to be unlocked in the vault once again at any time.
*When reliving the third Cristina memory, Ezio wore the Medici cape, despite not having it in his possession, as he had not received it from [[Lorenzo de' Medici|Lorenzo]] at the time.
*While the Auditore Cape would increase Ezio's notoriety in ''Assassin's Creed II'', in ''Brotherhood'' it achieved the opposite effect and kept Ezio incognito while he was wearing it.
;''Assassin's Creed: Revelations''
*Ezio's armor could be removed by having him equip the Armor of Ishak Pasha or the Master Assassin armor and replaying the memory "[[A Narrow Escape]]". When Ezio found his confiscated [[Hidden Blade]]s and put them on, all armor would be removed after exiting the replay.
*The Mamluk and Sepahi pauldrons had a short cape-like cloth that ended by Ezio's shoulder blade.
*In promotional artwork and trailers, Ezio was shown with the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins|Levantine Assassins]]' insignia, instead of the [[Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins|Ottoman Assassins]]', while the adorned buckle for his left pauldron bore the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins|Italian Assassins]]' insignia as opposed to the diamond symbol.
;Multiple entries
*Ezio's robes have been available to wear in every mainline game following ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', as well as ''[[Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Identity]]''. In most instances, the robes are his Roman ones, though there have been exceptions:
**The robes featured in ''Chronicles: China'' are an original design, albeit heavily inspired by Giovanni's robes.
**In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'', Giovanni's robes were added with ''[[The Last Chapter]]'' update released in 2022, though the Roman robes are also included.
**In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'', Ezio's Pilgrimage robes were included instead of his Roman ones, making it the first mainline game since ''Revelations'' not to feature the Roman robes.
**In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'', the Roman robes were again excluded, with the game instead adding Giovanni's robes as an unlockable outfit.

**The robes featured in ''Chronicles: China'' are an original design, albeit heavily inspired by Giovanni's robes.
**In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'', Giovanni's robes were added with ''[[The Last Chapter]]'' update released in late 2022, though the Roman robes are also included.
**In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'', Ezio's Pilgrimage robes were included instead of his Roman ones, making it the first mainline game since ''Revelations'' not to feature the Roman robes.

Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's robes

2026-07-12T18:59:56Z

General Clanker:

{{Era|Culture|Assassins}}
Throughout his life as an [[Assassins|Assassin]], [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] wore several sets of '''robes''' that each held a different appearance.

==Master Assassin robes==
[[File:Altair-assassin-robes.png|thumb|220px|Altaïr wearing his Master Assassin robes]]
While these were initially the standard robes of all [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins|Levantine]] [[Master Assassin]]s, once Altaïr rose to the rank of [[Mentor]], he abolished the standard uniform system, but he nonetheless continued to wear these robes for much of his life afterwards. The robes eventually came to be associated with Altaïr, as he was well known for wearing them.<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

The upper body of the robes featured a hood that was shaped like an [[eagle]]'s beak in the center. This was connected to the main part of the robes, which were plain white, with the exception of the sleeves, which were slightly darker. The lower portion was layered, with the back of the robes extending down lower than the front.<ref name="AC"/>

Around the waist was a red sash, and above it a leather belt, which was connected to supply pouches and a [[sword]] sheath. Scabbards for [[Throwing knife|throwing knives]] were contained at the right shoulder, at the front of the waist, and on the left boot. Around the back was a belt containing a sheath for a [[Short blade|dagger]], which was buckled below the shoulder.<ref name="AC"/>

==Armor of Altaïr==
{{Main|Armor of Altaïr}}
[[File:Armor-altair-ac2.png|thumb|left|220px|Ezio wearing the Armor of Altaïr]]
After carefully studying the [[Apple of Eden 2|Apple of Eden]], Altaïr designed and built his own set of indestructible armor, complete with robes. However, Altaïr feared the power of such a design and what consequences there could be if it fell into [[Templars|Templar]] hands, so he destroyed the armor's blueprints.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

After many years, the armor was hidden in the [[Sanctuary]] under the [[Villa Auditore]], where it was locked behind a metal grate, with six [[Assassin Seals|seals]] required to unlock it. The [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins|Italian Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] eventually found all of these seals, and claimed the armor for himself.<ref name="AC2"/>

The metal portions of the armor appeared to have a gold tint, while the leather portions were black. The chest plate appeared to be made up of several overlapping metal guards. The robes were made up of three layers, with each layer longer than the one above it. The longest, lower layer was segmented, giving the entire piece a look resembling an eagle's wings.<ref name="AC2"/>

Once more, the hood featured an eagle's beak at the center, and a black cloak accompanied the armor, which seemed to be of a similar cut to Altaïr's regular Assassin robes. A red sash was worn around the waist, along with a belt containing pouches and scabbards for throwing knives, with a buckle featuring the [[Assassin insignia]] over the sash.<ref name="AC2"/>

==Exile robes==
[[File:ACR Altair Exile Robes.png|thumb|220px|Altaïr wearing his Exile robes]]
After going into exile once [[Abbas Sofian]] usurped the rank of Mentor and took over the Assassins, Altaïr donned another set of robes at some point prior to the [[decline of the Levantine Assassins]].<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

The robes featured a hood, notably lacking the beaked tip, which was connected to the main portion and a full length cape down the back, which was supported by a buckle on the chest.<ref name="ACR"/>

The robes themselves were brown and appeared dirty and ragged, suggesting that Altaïr took little care of them. The robes had a plain design and extended down below the knees. The robes appeared to carry little pouches, there was no visible [[armor]], and the [[Hidden Blade]]s were worn with seemingly no bracers.<ref name="ACR"/>

==Mentor robes==
[[File:ACR Altair Mentor Robes.png|thumb|left|220px|Altaïr wearing his Mentor robes]]
At some point after reclaiming his rank as Mentor, Altaïr wore yet another set of robes prior to the [[Mongol Empire|Mongol]] [[Fall of Masyaf|assault]] of [[Masyaf]].<ref name="ACR"/>

The robes were strikingly similar to Altaïr's previous set in terms of shape, and once more they featured a hood, though this time with the beaked tip and a full length cape, which was grey with a red interior instead of brown.<ref name="ACR"/>

The robes were white and appeared clean and well looked after, in stark contrast to his previous set. The robes also appeared much more ceremonial, having ornate patterns and different colors. The robes had no visible equipment pouches or armor, and the Hidden Blades were equipped without bracers.<ref name="ACR"/>

==Trivia==
*Altaïr's original Master Assassin robes have appeared in every mainline game to date, with the exception of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''.
*Even though he was not a Master Assassin at the time, Altaïr wore the Master Assassin robes during the memory "[[The Mentor's Keeper]]".
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'', ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'', the robes' tails had no physics incorporated, causing them to move with the protagonist's legs, rather than flow freely. This was corrected in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed III Remastered]]''.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' and onwards, the robes lack Altaïr's short blade holster.
*In most cover arts of Altaïr, his knife belt was shown to have two knife holsters at each side horizontally and parallel, giving him four knives in the front. In-game depictions instead show five knives placed at the front, set vertically and side-by-side.
**Also, in the E3 trailer for ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', Altaïr's short blade is sheathed into his knife-belt, with a crossbow and quiver on his back, while the knife pouch and leather shoulder pad are missing.
**''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]'' is the only game in the series where Altaïr's knife belt is shown to have two knife holsters at each side horizontally, as depicted in most cover arts.

'''Akhenaten's Apple of Eden''', also referred to as the '''Aten''', was one of several [[Apples of Eden]], leftover [[Piece of Eden|pieces of technology]] created by the [[Isu]]. This particular Apple was wielded by several [[Egypt]]ian [[pharaoh]]s, and was also used to start a "[[Curse of the Pharaohs|curse]]" in the city of [[Thebes, Egypt|Thebes]] in the 1st century BCE.

==Owners==

*[[Nefertiti]] (? – 1330s BCE)
*[[Tutankhamun]] (c. 1332 BCE - ?)

*[[Nitokris]] (1st century BCE)
*[[Isidora]] (? – 34 BCE)
*[[Bayek]] of [[Siwa]] (34 BCE)
*[[Sutekh]] (34 BCE)

==Usage==
The Apple found by the pharaoh [[Akhenaten]] seemed to have all the standard abilities of an Apple of Eden, such as conjuring illusions and tangible holograms, mind control, and energy manipulation.<ref name="CotP" />

While in [[Isidora]]'s possession, the Apple was able to conjure physical manifestations of demons from the [[Duat]] and long-dead pharaohs who attacked anyone in their presence, as well as create an illusionary copy of Isidora as a decoy. After prolonged study of the Apple, she also learned how to hypnotically control the descendants of the pharaoh [[Ramesses II]].<ref name="CotP" />

==History==
===Eighteenth Dynasty===
During the {{Wiki|Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt}}, the Apple came into the possession of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, who associated it with [[Aten]]. Alongside his wife, [[Nefertiti]], Amenhotep IV introduced a {{Wiki|Atenism|monotheistic religion}} in [[Egypt]] centered around the relic, and changed his name to Akhenaten.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]] – [[The Curse of the Pharaohs]]'' – [[The Heretic]]</ref>

[[File:ACO CotP Memory 35.png|thumb|250px|left|Tutankhamun giving the Apple to the priests of Amun]]
Following Akenhaten's and Nefertiti's deaths, the Aten passed on to their son, [[Tutankhamun]], who chose to restore the polythestic religion of his forefathers. Tutankhamun entrusted the relic to the High Priests of [[Amun]], who kept it safe for generations.<ref name="CotP">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]] – [[The Curse of the Pharaohs]]'' – [[The Curse of the Pharaohs (memory)|The Curse of the Pharaohs]]</ref>

During the reign of [[Ramesses II]], the pharaoh, aided by the priests of Amun and the Apple, launched numerous campaigns in the [[Levant]] against the {{Wiki|Hittites|Hittite Empire}}.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]] – [[The Curse of the Pharaohs]]'' – [[The King of Kings]]</ref>

===Curse of the Pharaohs===

In the 1st century BCE, the Apple came into the possession of the [[God's Wife of Amun]], [[Nitokris]], who tried to use it to fight against tomb robbers pillaging the [[Valley of the Kings]] near [[Thebes, Egypt|Thebes]]. However, she was killed before she could do so, and the Apple was passed down to her daughter, [[Isidora]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]] – [[The Curse of the Pharaohs]]'' – [[Blood in the Water (CotP)|Blood in the Water]]</ref>

[[File:ACO CotP Memory 24.png|thumb|250px|Isidora using the Apple to enthrall Ramesses II's descendants]]
Circa 34 BCE, Isidora, now the God's Wife of Amun, began using the relic to take vengeance on the tomb robbers who had killed her mother, [[Curse of the Pharaohs|conjuring]] apparitions of dead pharaohs upon Thebes in the process. Eventually, the curse was lifted by the [[Assassins|Hidden One]] [[Mentor]], [[Bayek]] of [[Siwa]], who assassinated Isidora in Tutankhamun's [[Tomb of Tutankhamun|tomb]] and gave the artifact to [[Sutekh]], a descendant of Ramesses II, so that he could hide it where no one would find it.<ref name="CotP" />

Later, Sutekh was killed under unknown circumstances in the [[Waset Desert]]. When Bayek came across his body at the [[Cobra Oasis]], he found no sign of the Apple and could only pray that Sutekh had managed to hide it before his untimely demise.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]] – [[The Curse of the Pharaohs]]''</ref>

'''Sutekh''' (died 34 BCE) was an [[Egypt]]ain smuggler living in [[Thebes]] during the reign of [[Cleopatra]], and a descendant of [[Ramesses II]], a [[pharaoh]] of the {{Wiki|Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt}}. He was also the nephew of [[Irsu]].

==Biography==
===Curse of the Pharaohs===
Around 34 BCE, Sutekh's parents were killed by Irsu, who sought to prevent them from reporting his theft of one of [[Nefertiti]]'s sacred objects to the local authorities.<ref name="Lady of Grace">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – ''[[The Curse of the Pharaohs]]'' – [[The Lady of Grace]]</ref>

As the [[Curse of the Pharaohs]] descended upon Thebes, Sutekh sought to lift the curse by himself and became embroiled in the travels of the [[Assassins|Hidden One]] [[Bayek]] of [[Siwa]].<ref name="Lady of Grace"/> After asking him to end the calamity that was plaguing Thebes, Sutekh tried to distance himself from trouble but was soon captured by [[Isidora]], who needed him for a ceremony to restore [[Ma'at]]. Upon killing Isidora and lifting the curse in the [[Tomb of Tutankhamun|tomb]] of [[Tutankhamun]], Bayek entrusted Sutekh with the [[Akhenaten's Apple of Eden|relic]] that had been the curse's source, instructing him to hide it where no man would ever find it.<ref name="Pharaohs Curse">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – ''[[The Curse of the Pharaohs]]'' – [[The Curse of the Pharaohs (memory)|The Curse of the Pharaohs]]</ref>

{{Quote|No, is this... Sutekh? He deserved more than this fate. And the relic is... gone. I pray to Amun he hid it well.|Bayek upon finding Sutekh's body, 34 BCE.|The Curse of the Pharaohs}}
Some time later, Bayek came across Sutekh's body at the [[Cobra Oasis]] deep within the [[Waset Desert]], southwest of Thebes, having seemingly fallen prey to the local cobras. Bayek lamented the young man's death, but noted that the relic was missing and expressed hope that Sutekh had hidden it well before his demise.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – ''[[The Curse of the Pharaohs]]''</ref>

'''Tahemet''' was an [[Egypt]]ian historian and antiquarian from [[Thebes, Egypt|Thebes]]
who lived during the 1st century BCE. Known for her gambling debts, she was an associate of the [[Assassins|Hidden One]] [[Bayek]] of [[Siwa]], whom she helped investigate the [[Curse of the Pharaohs]].

==Biography==
===Curse of the Pharaohs===
In 34 BCE, when the Curse of the Pharaohs began in Thebes, Tahemet was investigating it when word arose that a merchant named [[Irsu]] had found an artifact from Queen [[Nefertiti]]'s [[Tomb of Queen Nefertiti|tomb]] in the [[Valley of the Kings]], which Tahemet believed was the main root of the curse.<ref name="TCotP">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – ''[[The Curse of the Pharaohs]]''</ref> As such, she was one of the individuals given the invitation for an auction over the relic. However, during a gambling session, Irsu's nephew [[Sutekh]] caught word of the auction and attempted to persuade Tahemet for the invitation,<ref name="NHAT">''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' – ''The Curse of the Pharaohs'' – [[No Honor Amongst Thebes]]</ref> so that he could get the relic and return it to the tomb.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' – ''The Curse of the Pharaohs'' – [[The Lady of Grace]]</ref>

Later on, they were joined by the Hidden One Bayek of Siwa, who observed Tahemet's loss against a military captain. Tahemet accused the captain of cheating, which led to a fight that saw Bayek eliminating the guards to defend her and Sutekh. Bayek convinced Tahemet to give up her invitation, which she reluctantly did by directing him to her villa.<ref name="NHAT" />

===Working for Athames===
Following the altercation with the captain, Tahemet was approached by the ''[[strategos]]'' [[Athames]], who forced her to work for him at the [[Necropolis of the Nobles]] or risk being jailed. Tahemet complied and set up camp at the necropolis, documenting her research on the relics recovered, and secretly on the curse. In time, she discovered a link between the [[Akhenaten's Apple of Eden|relic]] used in the curse and the cult of [[Amun]]. She later provided the smuggler [[Merti]] with the details, giving her a scroll of the [[Ma'at]] ritual involved.<ref name="BITW">''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' – ''The Curse of the Pharaohs'' – [[Blood in the Water (CotP)|Blood in the Water]]</ref>

[[File:ACO COTP Blood in the Water 27.png|thumb|250px|left|Tahemet explaining her situation to Bayek]]
A while later, Tahemet was found by [[Isidora]], the [[God's Wife of Amun]], who chastised her for her involvement in desecrating the Egyptian tombs. Tahemet tried to reason with her, explaining that she had no choice and this was the only way she could save Egyptian history. After Isidora left, Tahemet was found by Bayek, who had learned of her work from Merti at the [[House of the Blue Lotus]]. Tahemet walked with Bayek to the tomb as she explained what she had found, directing Bayek to a tomb now guarded by Athames' men.<ref name="BITW" />

At the same time, Tahemet also discovered that the pharaoh [[Ramesses II]] was amongst the deceased pharaohs who had been brought back by the relic. Despite her attempt to gain back her losses from the gambling session, Bayek convinced her to hand over her research in good heart, so he could put the pharaoh to rest.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' – ''The Curse of the Pharaohs'' – [[The King of Kings]]</ref>

With her debt paid and the ''strategos'' likely dead, Tahemet decided to move on from Thebes. Knowing that Bayek would return to her camp at the necropolis, she left him a letter informing him of her decision. Tahemet also mentioned that she had heard about a scroll in [[Levant|Canaan]] speaking of the coming of an everlasting god, and wondered if this referred to one more risen from the dead or another [[Piece of Eden|relic]]. She remarked that she would live as she had always done, at the fall of a dice, and wished Bayek to find peace in knowledge. The Hidden One indeed visited her tent after ending the curse and read the letter addressed to him.<ref name="TCotP" />

==Trivia==
*The Canaanite scroll mentioned by Tahemet in her letter likely refers to [[Jesus of Nazareth]], who was born in that area around three decades later.

Auld Shillelagh

2026-07-11T00:23:37Z

General Clanker:

{{Era|Locations}}
The '''''Auld Shillelagh''''' was a [[tavern]] located in {{Wiki|Alveston}}, [[England]], outside of [[Bristol]] and on the road to [[Hatherton]]. It was owned by a man called Jack and was frequented by [[Edward Kenway]] during his trips to the town in his youth.<ref name="BF novel">''[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag]]'' – {{Cite|14 Oct 2022. Chapters}}</ref>

==History==
During one of his visits to the tavern in 1711, Edward noticed three of his rivals—[[Tom Cobleigh]], his son [[Seth Cobleigh|Seth]], and a man named [[Julian]]—encouraging a young woman to drink to intoxication, with less than honorable intentions. Confronting the three men as they took the girl outside, Edward briefly fought them before [[Caroline Scott-Kenway|Caroline Scott]] arrived and intervened on his behalf, sending the attackers running. After introducing herself, Caroline took the woman—revealed to be her family's servant, [[Rose]]—and rode off again, leaving a smitten Edward outside the tavern.<ref name="BF novel"/>

Years later, Edward's mother, [[Linette Kenway]], found herself employed at the ''Auld Shillelagh'', desperately needing money after her farm was burned down in 1712 by [[Templars]] on the orders of [[Emmett Scott]], Caroline's father. Following his return from the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] in 1723, Edward visited his exhausted mother at the tavern, hoping to reconcile with her. Although Edward offered to take care of her with his newly-gained fortune, Linette disowned her son after learning of his intentions to take revenge on the men responsible for burning the farm, and threatened to call the [[Soldier|guards]] on him, forcing Edward to leave.<ref name="BF novel"/>

'''Linette Kenway''' (née '''Hopkins''') was a farmer from {{Wiki|Cardiff}}, [[Wales]], the wife of [[Bernard Kenway]], and the mother of [[Edward Kenway]]. She was the grandmother of Edward's two children, [[Haytham Kenway]] and [[Jennifer Scott]], as well as the great-grandmother of Haytham's son, [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]. Through this line, she is an ancestor of [[Desmond Miles|Desmond]] and [[William Miles]],<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref> [[Victor Flores Castillo]],<ref name="ACRPG">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]'' – Animus Training Program Quickstart: Character File Folios</ref> and [[Noa Kim]].<ref name="FT 100">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 100|Episode 100]]</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life===
Hailing from Cardiff, Linette fell in love with an [[England|Englishman]] from [[Manchester]], Bernard Kenway, whom she married. The pair settled in [[Swansea]] and had a daughter together, though she would die during infancy. In 1693, they had another child, a boy, whom they named Edward James Kenway.<ref name="Black Flag novel">''[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag]]'' – {{Cite|14 Aug 2022. Chapters}}</ref>

In 1703, Linette and her family moved to [[Hatherton]], a village near [[Bristol]], where they ran a small household keeping sheep. The family was respected by their neighbors, even if at the edge of adulthood, Edward was known for frequenting the local [[tavern]]s. Having basic skill in reading, Linette took care of the book-keeping while her husband took care of the farm, and Edward was in charge of the trips to the city for the sales.<ref name="Black Flag novel" />

===Initial troubles===
At one point, in the ''[[Auld Shillelagh]]'', Edward provoked the anger of [[Tom Cobleigh]], his [[Seth Cobleigh|son]] and their [[Julian|associate]] when he fought them to keep Tom from raping [[Rose]], the maidservant of [[Caroline Scott-Kenway|Caroline Scott]] whom the three had gotten drunk. Two days later, the group slaughtered two of the Kenways' sheep and placed the carcasses in front of the Kenway house, where they were discovered by Linette.<ref name="Black Flag novel" />

When Edward won the heart of an already engaged Caroline Scott, Linette and Bernard were present at their wedding and witnessed [[Emmett Scott]] disowning his daughter for her misalliance. They gave shelter to the young couple at their home, but Edward's ambitions would continue to cause tension. Eventually, Caroline, disappointed in her husband's plans of becoming a [[privateer]], left the Kenway farmstead for her father's house. This broke Linette's heart, as she had become fond of the young woman and saw her as the daughter she had lost.<ref name="Black Flag novel" />

In late 1712, a group of hooded men were sent by Caroline's father to burn down the Kenway farmstead. This occurred while Linette and Bernard were sleeping inside and when Edward was in Bristol, setting out for his life as a privateer. Due to his departure being delayed, Edward ventured back to Hatherton and witnessed the men at his farm, but despite his attempts to defend his home, the group pinned him to the ground and beat him before leaving. Afterward, Edward alerted his parents to the fire, but the outcome was dire: the fire had killed all the livestock. It was due to this that Bernard disowned his son, and before Linette could say anything, Edward left.<ref name="Black Flag novel" />

===Later life===
Following the attack on their farm, the Kenways descended into poverty, forcing Linette to work in the ''Auld Shillelagh''. In December 1717, Bernard died of {{Wiki|pleurisy}}, and Linette sent a letter to her son informing him of his father's death, while worrying about the rumors which announced that Edward had become a [[Piracy|pirate]]. Years later, having heard that Caroline had died of smallpox, she tried to go to the funeral, but the Scotts forbade her from entering the cemetery.<ref name="Black Flag novel" />

Linette saw her son again in 1723, when Edward came back to Bristol with her granddaughter, [[Jennifer Scott|Jennifer]]. Edward came to see his exhausted mother in the tavern where she was working, with the intention of taking care of her now that he had money, and he informed her of his intentions to kill the [[Templars]] who had ordered the burning of his parents' farm – Emmett Scott, [[Aubrey Hague]], and [[Wilson]]. Horrified by the killer he had become during his time in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] and by his plans to commit more murders, she disowned him too like her husband before her, calling Edward "no-son-of-mine" in front of everyone in the ''Auld Shillelagh''. Linette then threatened Edward to get out of the ''Auld Shillelagh'' before she called the [[Soldier|guards]].<ref name="Black Flag novel" />

'''Bernard Kenway''' (died 1717) was an [[United Kingdom|English]] [[sheep]] farmer from [[Manchester]], the husband of [[Linette Kenway]], and the father of [[Edward Kenway]]. He was the grandfather of Edward's two children, [[Haytham Kenway]] and [[Jennifer Scott]], as well as the great-grandfather of Haytham's son, [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]. Through this line, he is an ancestor of [[Desmond Miles|Desmond]] and [[William Miles]],<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref> [[Victor Flores Castillo]],<ref name="ACRPG">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]'' – Animus Training Program Quickstart: Character File Folios</ref> and [[Noa Kim]].<ref name="FT 100">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 100|Episode 100]]</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life===
Hailing from Manchester, Bernard fell in love with a Welshwoman, Linette Hopkins, whom he married. The pair settled in [[Swansea]] and had a daughter together, though she died during infancy. In 1693, they had another child, a boy whom they named Edward.<ref name="Black Flag novel">''[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag]]'' – {{Cite|14 Aug 2022. Chapters}}</ref>

In 1703, Bernard and his family moved to [[Hatherton]], a village near [[Bristol]], where they ran a small holding keeping sheep. Although the Kenways' Welsh accent marked them as different, Bernard's true love for his wife and his fairness in commercial matters earned him the respect of the surrounding [[Merchant|tradesmen]]. In 1711, Bernard left the sales part of the farm to Edward, but Edward's dissatisfaction with the farmer life caused him to frequently forgo his duties and spend time at [[tavern]]s instead.<ref name="Black Flag novel"/>

===Initial troubles===
At one point, in the [[Auld Shillelagh]], Edward provoked the anger of [[Tom Cobleigh]], his son [[Seth Cobleigh|Seth]], and their associate [[Julian]] when he fought them to keep Tom from raping [[Caroline Scott-Kenway|Caroline Scott]]'s drunken maidservant [[Rose]]. Two days later, the group slaughtered two of Bernard's sheep and placed the carcasses in front of the Kenway house in order to provoke Edward. Bernard refused to let him retaliate, explaining that the Cobleighs and many merchants of Bristol had joined the Trade Organisation, an association of tradesmen protected by "powerful men", yet one that he himself had refused to join when he was approached.<ref name="Black Flag novel"/>

When Edward won the heart of an already-engaged Caroline Scott, Bernard and Linette were present at their wedding and witnessed [[Emmett Scott]] disowning his daughter for this misalliance. They gave shelter to the young couple at their home, but Edward's ambitions would continue causing tension. Eventually, Caroline, disappointed in her husband's plans of becoming a [[privateer]], left the Kenway farmstead for her father's house. This pained Bernard and his wife, who had became fond of the young woman after she taught them how to read.<ref name="Black Flag novel"/>

In late 1712, a group of hooded men sent by Scott burned down the Kenway farmstead while Bernard and Linette were sleeping inside and while Edward was in Bristol, embarking on his life as a privateer. Edward returned to Hatherton due to his departure being delayed and tried to stop the raiders, but the group pinned him to the ground, beat him, and fled. Edward subsequently alerted his parents to the fire. After the fire had killed all the livestock, Bernard blamed his son for the attack, telling Edward that he was poison to his family, and ordered him to leave and never return. Bernard also never saw Caroline again, nor his granddaughter [[Jennifer Scott|Jennifer]], who was born after Edward's departure.<ref name="Black Flag novel"/>

===Later life and death===
Following the attack on their farm, Bernard and Linette descended into poverty, forcing Bernard's wife to work in the Auld Shillelagh. In December 1717, Bernard died of {{Wiki|pleurisy}}. A month later, Edward, then a [[Piracy|pirate]] of the [[Caribbean|West Indies]], received a letter from his mother informing him of Bernard's death.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Black Flag'' – Chapter 41</ref>

===Legacy===
In 2013, Bernard's memories were extracted from the [[genetic memory]] of his descendant, [[Desmond Miles]], and uploaded to the [[Abstergo Cloud]], to be researched by [[Abstergo Entertainment]] analysts as part of the [[Sample 17 Project]].<ref name="AC4"/> By 29 October, Bernard's memories had been assigned to [[Philippe Chartrand]], much to the researcher's annoyance, as he complained about having to "shovel virtual shit all day" in an email to fellow employee [[Jennifer Tam]].<ref name="ACI">''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]'' – [[Surveillance]]: "Noob Alert"</ref>

Animus host

General Clanker:

{{Era|Technology}}
An '''Animus host'''<ref name="Kassandra Note">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Layla Hassan's personal files]]: Note Regarding Kassandra</ref> is the individual whose [[genetic memory|genetic memories]] are relived in a simulation using the [[Animus]], a device that accesses these memories encoded within the DNA of the host's descendants.<ref name="AC1">''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[21st century conversations|Modern day]]</ref>

Early versions of the Animus required the user themselves to be a descendant of the host.<ref name="AC1" /> However, technology has since progressed so that there is no longer such limitation.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[21st century conversations|Modern day]]</ref> Within the [[Brahman V.R.]] framework, the host is called a '''Witness'''. Witnesses are in turn classified into '''Ancestors''', who are related to the user, and '''Echoes''', unrelated individuals whose DNA data may be cobbled together via fragmentary genetic sources and Animus algorithms.<ref name="ACRPG">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]]'' – Quickstart</ref>

[[Rebecca Crane]] once speculated that the Animus might react oddly if a user were to interact with one of their previous hosts while in a new simulation. In 2020, she erroneously claimed that [[Layla Hassan]] reliving [[Eivor Varinsdottir]]'s memory of meeting [[Kassandra]] was the first instance of this happening.<ref name="Kassandra Note" />

'''Francesco Vecellio''' (c. 1475 – 1560) was the elder brother of the [[Renaissance]] painter [[Titian|Tiziano]], and a member of the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins|Italian Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]].

Raised to adulthood and trained by [[Perotto Calderon]], an Assassin working undercover as a [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] courier, Francesco later helped hunt down his teacher for betraying the Brotherhood. Without a mentor, Francesco was sent to train under the [[Master Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]], who had traveled to [[Rome]] to [[Liberation of Rome|fight]] the Borgia. Following his graduation, he was chosen to lead an Assassin team and would train [[Assassin apprentice|apprentices]] of his own.

By the time he was a middle-aged man in the 1520s, Francesco followed his brother and pursued a distinguished painting career in {{Wiki|Cadore}} alongside his Assassin life, though he never attained Tiziano's level of fame.

==Biography==
===Early life===
{{Quote|In a way, I already have a child. His name is Francesco, one of the newest members of our Brotherhood. Though he is not yet a man, he is a promising understudy.|Perotto's thoughts on Francesco|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy|Italian Wars: Chapter 4 – Perotto Calderon}}
Born in the town of Pieve di Cadore in the year 1475,<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|Francesco Vecellio}}</ref> Francesco was granted membership in the Assassins as a birthright. At a very young age, he began training as the understudy to Perotto Calderon, who often thought of him as his own child<ref name="ItalianWars4">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – [[Italian Wars: Chapter 4 – Perotto Calderon]]</ref> and described him as an "exceptional addition to our Order."<ref name="Rome2">''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' – [[Rome: Chapter 2 – Giovanni Borgia]]</ref>

[[File:The Understudy.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Francesco retrieving a report from Perotto]]
Though he trained Francesco well, Perotto also thought that it was important "to let a child be a child," and often brought him to a nearby village to play with others his own age. There, he would keep an eye on Francesco and cheer as he led the other children in their play parade.<ref name="Rome2"/>

When Perotto entered the service of the Borgia as a courier in 1498, Francesco was tasked with delivering his reports back to the Brotherhood. Francesco continued to train with Perotto at this time, sparring and learning battle tactics, though Perotto already thought him a match for many of the older Assassins.<ref name="ItalianWars4"/>

However, after Perotto fell for the [[Roman Rite of the Templar Order|Italian Templar]] [[Lucrezia Borgia]], Francesco's untimely arrival to retrieve Perotto's reports caused them some concern. Francesco never admitted that he noticed their relationship, but at one point, he began acting withdrawn, claiming he was ill, though Perotto did not believe him. Here, Lucrezia suggested that Perotto [[poison]] his understudy in order to maintain their secret, but Perotto loved Francesco like a son and refused to harm him.<ref name="ItalianWars4"/>

===Perotto's betrayal===
{{Quote|I have exhausted nearly every resource to lessen Perotto's punishment for his crimes, but I fear there is little left I can do. We will hunt him tonight. Damn his foolishness... all this for a Borgia harlot?|Francesco, soon after discovering Perotto's betrayal.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy|Italian Wars: Chapter 4 – Perotto Calderon}}
[[File:PL Mercy.jpg|thumb|250px|Francesco attempting to bargain for Perotto's life]]
Later in 1498, Francesco was involved in the hunt for his master after Perotto broke all three tenets of [[the Creed]] in a desperate attempt to save his and Lucrezia's bastard child [[Giovanni Borgia|Giovanni]], who had been diagnosed to die shortly after birth. Francesco was deeply hurt by his master's betrayal, but mostly only blamed the "Borgia harlot" for seducing him.<ref name="ItalianWars4"/>

Francesco made many attempts to persuade the Assassins to show Perotto mercy, however, due to his young age and the severity of Perotto's crimes, his objections were outweighed. Eventually, the rest of the Assassins concluded that they were duty-bound to kill Perotto.<ref name="ItalianWars4"/>

Following a trail of bodies, Borgia [[Soldier|guards]], and Assassins alike, the team tracked Perotto to [[Agnadello]] and realized that he was attempting to use the [[Shroud of Eden 1|Shroud of Eden]] to save his son's life. Along the path, they ran into a bloodied detachment of soldiers—"sloppy work" left behind by Perotto—and were forced to engage them in battle.<ref name="ItalianWars4"/>

[[File:PL Reckless.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Francesco and the team sent after Perotto]]
Francesco joined the fight, however, he had never killed before. He assisted where he could, staying at the edges of the battle and mostly injuring men to be finished off by the others while the older Assassins were careful to protect him when possible. At one point, Francesco nearly received a lethal slash to the face, but was pushed to the ground before it could connect.<ref name="ItalianWars4"/>

Finally, the Assassins reached [[Rinaldo Vitturi]]'s home, in which they knew the Shroud had been stored. Perotto was nowhere in sight, but the locals informed them that he had set up camp outside the city. The Assassins surrounded Perotto's camp, but despite their numbers, Perotto's skill with a [[bow]] was unmatched and he managed to kill several of them. Though still wondering if his master could be reasoned with, Francesco fired upon Perotto nonetheless. Though the [[arrow]] grazed him, Perotto only looked at Francesco sadly and did not return fire. Eventually, Perotto was overwhelmed and killed.<ref name="ItalianWars4"/>

===Apprenticeship in Rome===
{{Quote|We struggle to oppose Cesare Borgia, who, with his wretched family, controls the Church as well as the city.|Francesco, regarding the liberation of Rome.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy|Rome: Chapter 3 – Francesco Vecellio}}
[[File:The High Road PL.jpg|thumb|250px|Francesco training with Ezio in Rome]]
In 1501, after his mentor's death, Francesco was sent to Rome to be apprenticed to the [[Master Assassin]] Ezio Auditore. In addition to what he already knew, Ezio taught Francesco advanced [[freerunning]], [[blending]], and [[pickpocketing]]. Francesco closely competed with the other apprentices under Ezio, and met two of his future teammates by losing to them during the lessons.<ref name="Rome3">''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' – [[Rome: Chapter 3 – Francesco Vecellio]]</ref>

During his training over the next year, Francesco desired more advanced equipment like the [[Hidden Gun]] that Ezio used. While his teacher deemed him still unready to wield such power, he sent Francesco to seek out an alternative from the Brotherhood's ally and master inventor [[Leonardo da Vinci]],<ref name="Rome3"/> whom he had recently reunited with and knew could create unique gear. Aware that Lucrezia's elder brother [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare]] had forcibly put Leonardo to work making [[war machine]]s for the [[Templars]] and paid him only very little,<ref name="AnUnexpectedVisitor">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' – [[An Unexpected Visitor]]</ref> Ezio cautioned his apprentice that the polymath would likely charge a substantial sum for the commission, then warned Leonardo to reject the inevitable request for a Hidden Gun once his student had departed.<ref name="Rome3"/>

At Leonardo's [[Bottega di Leonardo|workshop]], Francesco was disappointed when his petition for a wrist-mounted [[pistol]] was turned down, but quickly repurposed the idea to replace firepower with a smaller and more silent [[crossbow]]. Leonardo declared that the invention would be possible, but noted that it would have very limited range, required manual reloading with custom-made bolts, and would quite expensive since Francesco requested one for each wrist. Even with the high cost, the grateful apprentice readily agreed to the terms. When Francesco was given the completed pair of attachments, he left Leonardo and mused that he was a "strange man, interested in art and invention more than politics."<ref name="Rome3"/>

[[File:Stacked Deck PL.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Francesco selecting the members of his team]]
After completing his training, Francesco was placed in charge of a team of Assassins, whose purpose was to disrupt Cesare's influence over Italy. Notable members of his team were [[Cipriano Enu]], who specialized in archery, and [[Tessa Varzi]], who was skilled with poisons. While many of the team's missions took place in Rome, they also visited [[Romagna]], [[Camerino]], and [[Venice]], among others.<ref name="Rome3"/>

The team participated in the defense of Camerino, rescued several prisoners Cesare Borgia was planning to execute for his entertainment, and protected the astronomers [[Nicolaus Copernicus]] and [[Domenico Maria Novara da Ferrara|Novara]].<ref name="Rome3"/> They also teamed up with the former Borgia agent [[Fiora Cavazza]] to kill the Templars [[Rocco Tiepolo]], [[Cahin]], [[Caha]], and [[Baltasar de Silva]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' – [[Rome: Chapter 1 – Fiora Cavazza]]</ref>

Sometime in 1503, Francesco sought out Perotto's son Giovanni. He sent him a message by [[Pigeon coop|pigeon]] and asked him to meet by a fountain. As instructed, Giovanni located Francesco using [[Eagle Vision|his gift]] and followed him through the streets as the Assassin navigated the rooftops. However, the boy ran into two [[Thief|thieves]] who attempted to rob him. Francesco swiftly leapt down and buried his dual [[Hidden Blade]]s into the men, rescuing Giovanni. Francesco then asked him if he would like to come to "live with his Brothers," and at Giovanni's cheerful agreement, Francesco recruited him into the Assassin Order.<ref name="Rome2"/>

===Ambush at the inn===
{{Quote|We have no way to escape. We are dying! I trip over the bodies of my fallen Brothers. So many dead! I have failed.|Francesco at the inn.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy|Rome: Chapter 3 – Francesco Vecellio}}
[[File:PL Crush.jpg|thumb|250px|The fire at the inn]]
Soon after sabotaging the competition of the [[France|French]] Templar [[Charles de la Motte]] in 1503, Francesco's team met with a disaster. Cesare invited Charles' forces into Rome, where they began terrorizing the citizens to purposefully lure out the Assassins.<ref name="Rome3"/>

Francesco and his team hurried to intercept them, with Enu directing his archers to shoot the enemy from above, and Tessa infiltrating them to hand soldiers poisoned flowers. However, after Cesare sent in his own army, the Assassin team was overwhelmed, and they were forced to take refuge in an inn.<ref name="Rome3"/>

As Francesco cursed himself for falling into Cesare's trap, the team hurried to barricade the windows and doors. Just as they were trying to devise a way to get a message to Ezio and the rest of the Order, the enemy broke through. Archers sent several flaming arrows into the room, setting the building ablaze.<ref name="Rome3"/>

[[File:PL Marathon.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Enu and Francesco cornered on the roof of the inn]]
The team and the building's innkeeper fled to the second floor, but the floorboards shattered beneath their feet, dragging several Assassins – Tessa among them – into the flames. Here, the only exit to the roof was the window, and though Francesco tried to gather a way to bring him with them, the innkeeper solemnly told them to leave him behind.<ref name="Rome3"/>

Even upon reaching the roof, there was no cover, and the remnants of the team were quickly cut down by Borgia [[arquebusier]]s. Despite the fact that he was also injured, Francesco tried to treat a dying Enu, who had received a gunshot wound to the neck, though he gave up and the two merely sat back to back, watching as the Borgia guards closed in on them.<ref name="Rome3"/>

A large explosion soon broke the silence and, although it is unknown how, Francesco was ultimately rescued and survived the attack that had claimed the lives of his teammates.<ref name="Rome3"/>

===Hunt in Lonigo===
{{Quote|My target is old, unsuspecting. Age will take his life soon, but I will not allow it.|Francesco's thoughts on Niccolò di Pitigliano, c. 1510|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy|Italian Wars: Chapter 2 – Francesco Vecellio}}
[[File:ACPL francesco lonigo.png|thumb|250px|Francesco gathering information in Lonigo]]
By 1510, Francesco had gained enough experience to perform missions alone, and had even trained his own Assassin apprentices. That year, he took on an [[Assassination of Niccolò di Pitigliano|important assignment]], which involved assassinating the ''condottiero'' [[Niccolò di Pitigliano]] and freeing the population of [[Lonigo]] from his rule.<ref name="ItalianWars2">''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' – [[Italian Wars: Chapter 2 – Francesco Vecellio]]</ref>

Francesco first began gathering information on his target by spending time with the patrons at the local tavern and [[brothel]], as well as intercepting Niccolò's couriers. Over time, Francesco discovered the reasons for the citizens' dissatisfaction, as well as learning that Niccolò maintained contact with someone in Rome. He then moved to study Niccolò himself, and choose the right opportunity to strike.<ref name="ItalianWars2"/>

[[File:PL Memory Bloodwork.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Francesco confronting Niccolò]]
After learning of Niccolò's daily activities and slowly destroying his influence over Lonigo, Francesco prepared to assault Niccolò's home directly. For this, he called in several of his students and fellow Assassins for aid. As his Brothers distracted the villa guards, Francesco snuck into the building and assassinated Niccolò. He left after dealing his target a grievous blow, but Niccolò managed to crawl to the hiding place of the Shroud, which he used to rejuvenate himself. This backfired as the artifact tore Niccolò apart, and Francesco took possession of it.<ref name="ItalianWars2"/>

===Later life and legacy===
{{Quote|Francesco Vecellio. The blossoming painter. I never would have suspected.|Fiora Cavazza discovering Francesco's identity as an Assassin.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy|Rome: Chapter 1 – Fiora Cavazza}}
By the 1520s, Francesco began pursuing a painting career in {{Wiki|Cadore}} alongside his Assassin life. In 1524, he signed an altarpiece for San Vito in Cadore. During the 1540s, he painted a {{Wiki|polyptych}} in Candide, as well as the [[Venice|Venetian]] [[church]] {{Wiki|San Salvador, Venice|Chiesa di San Salvatore}}'s organ shutters. He also painted an ''Annunciation'' for San Nicola di Bari, which currently resides in the {{Wiki|Gallerie dell'Accademia}}.<ref name="Wiki"/> While these works garnered Francesco much acclaim, he never became as successful as his brother Tiziano.

In 2012, the Templar company [[Abstergo Industries]] extracted Francesco's [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] from one of his descendants and explored them via the [[Animus#Data Dump Scanner|Data Dump Scanner]] as part of their [[Project Legacy]] initiative.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy''</ref>

==Personality and traits==
{{Quote|I teach tactics to Francesco, but he is taken aback by my brutality. He has a needless sense of honor and fair play.|Perotto training Francesco.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy|Italian Wars: Chapter 4 – Perotto Calderon}}
[[File:Cover Fire PL.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Tessa and Francesco on a mission]]
In his younger years, Perotto found Francesco to be wise beyond his age, commenting that "speaking with him is like speaking to an adult at times."<ref name="Rome2"/> However, he also noticed that he had a "needless sense of honor and fair play," one that he feared would teach Francesco a hard lesson one day.<ref name="ItalianWars4"/>

As Francesco trained under Perotto, his master observed him to be both eager and thorough, but also a perfectionist. He would repeat his questions, and insist that Perotto repeat a lesson until he was sure he had mastered it, sometimes frustrating the older Assassin.<ref name="Rome2"/>

Francesco also possessed something of a temper, his sword strikes usually fueled by anger and emotion, and easy to intercept. Perotto would often calm him, and insist that emotion was a weakness.<ref name="Rome2"/> Even upon training under Ezio, Francesco still occasionally grew irritable or impatient upon being beaten during the exercises.<ref name="Rome3"/>

Francesco cared for his master, who he owed so much, saying that Perotto had taught him "how to fight, how to live." As such, he harshly blamed Lucrezia for Perotto's betrayal of the Brotherhood, and his blinded pursuit to save his son using the Shroud.<ref name="ItalianWars4"/> Francesco was also protective of his Assassin teammates, and became almost inconsolable after the deaths of so many of them at the inn in 1503.<ref name="Rome3"/>

After the loss of nearly his entire Assassin team, by 1510, Francesco had grown more severe, and willing to do anything to accomplish his missions. He did not hesitate to [[Interrogation|interrogate]] or kill potential informants, but still remained careful to respect innocent citizens.<ref name="ItalianWars2"/>

At this time, he described himself to be a "man of detail", and his inclination for perfection allowed him to be meticulous in his assassinations. Francesco was careful to plan several potential escape routes, and use many methods to study and anticipate the movements of his targets, or their guards.<ref name="ItalianWars2"/>

[[File:Renaissance Man PL.jpg|thumb|250px|Francesco with Leonardo da Vinci]]
Though he had trained his entire life to be an Assassin, Francesco was intrigued by Leonardo da Vinci's interest in art rather than politics or warfare. This likely inspired him to pursue his own, similar career later on.<ref name="Rome3"/>

Even while still participating in missions for the Order, Francesco possessed an amount of respect for artwork. In 1510, though he and his associates managed to steal Niccolò di Pitigliano's art collection, instead of having the pieces sold, Francesco insisted that they be given to him to ensure that they were cared for.<ref name="ItalianWars2"/>

===Skills and equipment===
Francesco was the only known Assassin to wield the Hidden Bolt, a weapon that could fire small crossbow bolts. Since Ezio had not initially allowed him to use the Hidden Gun, Francesco requested that Leonardo da Vinci create a lighter, silent alternative.<ref name="Rome3"/> Although the right to wield dual Hidden Blades was usually reserved for Master Assassins,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex]], pg. 13</ref> Francesco was allowed to bear them while still training as Ezio's apprentice.<ref name="Rome2"/> His Assassin robes closely resembled the [[Ezio Auditore's robes|set]] Ezio had inherited from his father [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]] in 1476.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Family Heirloom]]</ref>

{{Eraicon|Culture}}{{WP-REAL}}
{{Quote|Recruits. Liberated slaves. The warriors among them join me. The others grow the community for which we fight. (Little by little, bird builds his nest.)|Augustin Dieufort to Adéwalé, on the Maroons, 1735.|Freedom Cry|Laying the First Brick}}
The '''Maroons''' were people who escaped [[slavery]] in the [[Americas]] and formed their own settlements away from their oppressors.<ref name="Maroon DB">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]] – [[Freedom Cry]]'' – [[Database: Maroons]]</ref>

==Maroons in Haiti==
In [[Haiti|Saint-Domingue]], most of the African slaves fled to the [[Montagnes Noires]], a range of mountains in the central part of western Hispaniola,<ref name="Montagnes DB">''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – ''Freedom Cry'' – [[Database: Montagnes Noires]]</ref> following the [[Taíno]] tribes who had done the same before them, fleeing abuse from the [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Spanish Empire|Empire]]'s colonies.<ref name="Maroon DB" /> The mountains made it extremely difficult for any surprise attacks from oppressors, and the high altitude was ideal for lookouts.<ref name="Montagnes DB" />

Their lives were often based on subsistence agriculture and survival [[hunting]], while the warriors among them fought for independence and the freedom of other slaves. To this effect they would terrorize [[plantation]] owners and overseers, razing crops, looting and conducting [[raid]]s on sugar and coffee plantations. The former slave owners retaliated brutally, with the [[Code Noir]] on their side: plantation slaves were killed, many of the attackers slaughtered, and the death penalty was a common form of punishment.<ref name="Maroon DB"/>

Though numerous, they were not the only black population in Saint-Domingue at the time, as the island also included both Freedmen, slaves who were freed legally through emancipation or manumission, and ''{{Wiki|Free people of color|Gens de Couleur}}'', those who were born free or freed at birth.<ref name="Maroon DB" />

Sometime prior to 1735, a [[Maroon rebellion|Maroon movement]] in Saint-Domingue was established, led principally by [[Augustin Dieufort]] and supported by [[Bastienne Josèphe]]. In the years following 1735, the rebellion grew in strength and power, aided by [[Adéwalé]], a member of the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] [[West Indies Brotherhood of Assassins|Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag – Freedom Cry'' – [[A Common Enemy]]</ref> Liberated slaves from both the [[slave ship]]s and those sugar plantations attacked by the Assassin joined the rebellion,<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag – Freedom Cry'' – [[Laying the First Brick]]</ref> though a confrontation with the Governor of [[Port-au-Prince]], [[Pierre, Marquis de Fayet|Pierre de Fayet]], would put an end to this alliance, with Adéwalé leaving Port-au-Prince after assassinating de Fayet in 1737.<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag – Freedom Cry'' – [[De Fayet's Last Stand]]</ref> An attempt at freeing the slaves in Saint-Domingue by poisoning the white colonists led to Maroon leader [[François Mackandal]]'s execution in 1758.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]'' – [[Database: Agaté]]</ref>

The Maroons and their Assassin allies in Saint-Domingue ultimately managed a successful [[Haitian Revolution|slave uprising]], the only one to result in the founding of a free state after a century of effort and more than one attempt. Starting in 1791, with the {{Wiki|Haitian Vodou|Vodou}} ceremony at [[Bois Caïman]] led by [[Dutty Boukman]] and calling for a major rebellion.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]'' – [[Eseosa's Codex]] – Entry #5: "Ceremony at Bois Caïman: Bois Caïman, Saint-Domingue, 1791-08-14"</ref> By early 1801, Maroon [[Toussaint Louverture]] declared himself absolute ruler of the island and freed all slaves.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Initiates'' – Eseosa's Codex – Entry #9: "Absolute Ruler of Saint-Domingue: Cap Français, Saint-Domingue, 1801-07-08"</ref> Though interference by [[France|French]] [[French Empire|Emperor]] [[Napoleon Bonaparte]], by way of his brother-in-law [[Charles Leclerc]], deposed him,<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Initiates'' – Eseosa's Codex – Entry #10: "Leclerc's Expedition: Cap Français, Saint-Domingue, 1802"</ref> Louverture's lieutenant [[Jean-Jacques Dessalines]] ousted the French from the island, bringing the Revolution to a successful conclusion.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Initiates'' – Eseosa's Codex – Entry #12: "What Price Freedom: Davenport Manor, British America, 1804-03-01"</ref>

==Maroons in Jamaica==
[[Antó]], an enslaved {{Wiki|Ashanti people|Ashanti}} man in [[Jamaica]], escaped with the help of the legendary warrior [[Cudjoe|Kujo]]. Later, he founded a Maroon community near [[Kingston]], where he ran an [[Assassin bureau]], and established contacts with indigenous traders, who helped coordinate raids on plantations that freed more slaves to join him.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Initiates'' – [[Database: The Maroon Assassin]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[Database: Antó]]</ref> In 1716, the [[Wales|Welsh]] [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]] helped Antó liberate other Maroons from [[Templars|Templar]] captivity.<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[Recruiting Maroons]]</ref>

In [[Haiti|Saint-Domingue]], most of the African slaves fled to the [[Montagnes Noires]], a range of mountains in the central part of western Hispaniola,<ref name="Montagnes DB2">''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – ''Freedom Cry'' – [[Database: Montagnes Noires]]</ref> following the [[Taíno]] tribes who had done the same before them, fleeing abuse from the [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Spanish Empire|Empire]]'s colonies.<ref name="Maroon DB" /> The mountains made it extremely difficult for any surprise attacks from oppressors, and the high altitude was ideal for lookouts.<ref name="Montagnes DB2" />

Their lives were often based on subsistence agriculture and survival [[hunting]], while the warriors among them fought for independence and the freedom of other slaves. To this effect they would terrorize [[plantation]] owners and overseers, razing crops, looting and conducting [[raid]]s on sugar and coffee plantations. The former slave owners retaliated brutally, with the [[Code Noir]] on their side: plantation slaves were killed, many of the attackers slaughtered, and the death penalty was a common form of punishment.<ref name = "Maroon DB"/>

Though numerous, they were not the only black population in Saint-Domingue at the time, as the island also included both Freedmen, slaves who were freed legally through emancipation or manumission, and ''{{Wiki|Free people of color|Gens de Couleur}}'', those who were born free or freed at birth.<ref name="Maroon DB" />

Sometime prior to 1735, a [[Maroon rebellion|Maroon movement]] in Saint-Domingue was established, led principally by [[Augustin Dieufort]] and supported by [[Bastienne Josèphe]]. In the years following 1735, the rebellion grew in strength and power, aided by [[Adéwalé]], a member of the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] [[West Indies Brotherhood of Assassins|Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag – Freedom Cry'' – [[A Common Enemy]]</ref> Liberated slaves from both the [[slave ship]]s and those sugar plantations attacked by the Assassin joined the rebellion,<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag – Freedom Cry'' – [[Laying the First Brick]]</ref> though a confrontation with the Governor of [[Port-au-Prince]], [[Pierre, Marquis de Fayet|Pierre de Fayet]], would put an end to this alliance, with Adéwalé leaving Port-au-Prince after assassinating de Fayet in 1737.<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag – Freedom Cry'' – [[De Fayet's Last Stand]]</ref> An attempt at freeing the slaves in Saint-Domingue by poisoning the white colonists led to Maroon leader [[François Mackandal]]'s execution in 1758.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]'' – [[Database: Agaté]]</ref>

The Maroons and their Assassin allies in Saint-Domingue ultimately managed a successful [[Haitian Revolution|slave uprising]], the only one to result in the founding of a free state after a century of effort and more than one attempt. Starting in 1791, with the {{Wiki|Haitian Vodou|Vodou}} ceremony at [[Bois Caïman]] led by [[Dutty Boukman]] and calling for a major rebellion.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]'' – [[Eseosa's Codex]] – Entry #5: "Ceremony at Bois Caïman: Bois Caïman, Saint-Domingue, 1791-08-14"</ref> By early 1801, Maroon [[Toussaint Louverture]] declared himself absolute ruler of the island and freed all slaves.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Initiates'' – Eseosa's Codex – Entry #9: "Absolute Ruler of Saint-Domingue: Cap Français, Saint-Domingue, 1801-07-08"</ref> Though interference by [[France|French]] [[French Empire|Emperor]] [[Napoleon Bonaparte]], by way of his brother-in-law [[Charles Leclerc]], deposed him,<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Initiates'' – Eseosa's Codex – Entry #10: "Leclerc's Expedition: Cap Français, Saint-Domingue, 1802"</ref> Louverture's lieutenant [[Jean-Jacques Dessalines]] ousted the French from the island, bringing the Revolution to a successful conclusion.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Initiates'' – Eseosa's Codex – Entry #12: "What Price Freedom: Davenport Manor, British America, 1804-03-01"</ref>

==Maroons in Jamaica==
[[Antó]], an enslaved {{Wiki|Ashanti people|Ashanti}} man in [[Jamaica]], escaped with the help of the legendary warrior [[Cudjoe|Kujo]]. Later, he founded a Maroon community near [[Kingston]], where he ran an [[Assassin bureau]], and established contacts with indigenous traders, who helped coordinate raids on plantations that freed more slaves to join him.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Initiates'' – [[Database: The Maroon Assassin]]</ref><ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[Database: Antó]]</ref> In 1716, the [[Wales|Welsh]] [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]] helped Antó liberate other Maroons from [[Templars|Templar]] captivity.<ref>''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'' – [[Recruiting Maroons]]</ref>
