'''Glyphs''' were data entry points scattered around the virtual representation of [[Renaissance]] [[Italy]] rendered by the [[Animus]].

[[Desmond Miles]] was able to locate several of them while reliving the [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] of his ancestor, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]. Each Glyph revealed historical details about [[human]]ity, [[Piece of Eden|Pieces]] of [[Eden]], and [[Assassin-Templar War|the conflict]] between the [[Assassins]] and the [[Templars]].

==Origins==
[[File:AC2 Eagle Vision Glyph.png|thumb|250px|left|Ezio activating one of the Glyphs]]
The Glyphs were created by [[Clay Kaczmarek]], Desmond's predecessor in the [[Animus Project]]. Clay had discovered "[[The Truth]]" during the prolonged Animus sessions, but he could not share this information during his captivity. Instead, he hacked the Animus and hid a video file in a number of encrypted data fragments, in the form of Glyphs on certain structures.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[21st century conversations|Modern day]]</ref>

In an effort to inform the next Animus subject of the hack, Clay left a number of [[Cryptic Messages|cryptic images]] drawn in his own blood scattered across the [[Animus Project laboratory]], as a clue to look for such symbols in the environments rendered by the Animus.<ref name="AC2" />

===Abstergo laboratory===
[[File:Abs Room.png|thumb|250px|Clay's messages on the bedroom wall]]
Before Desmond Miles was placed in the Animus, [[Abstergo Industries|Abstergo]] had cleaned away Clay's [[Cryptic Messages|blood messages]].<ref name="AC1mail">''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' – [[Warren Vidic's email]] – Subject header: "Subject No. 16"</ref> However, through the [[Bleeding Effect]], Desmond eventually gained the ability of [[Eagle Vision]], which allowed him to perceive Clay's blood writing. Although he was able to see it, Desmond could not comprehend its meaning at the time of his captivity.<ref name="AC1">''Assassin's Creed'' – Modern day</ref>

===In the Animus 2.0===
During the escape from Abstergo facility, [[Lucy Stillman]] took the Animus memory core, unaware that it contained the data which Clay tampered with. When the core was transferred to the Animus 2.0, the Glyph data was transferred along with it.<ref name="AC2" />
[[File:AC2 Rebecca Hideout 1.png|thumb|left|250px|Rebecca holding the memory core with the Glyph data]]
While reliving the memories of Ezio Auditore, Desmond and his fellow Assassins discovered the existence of the Glyphs and guessed how they appeared in the Animus 2.0, eventually concluding the data was tampered with by Clay, and came with the Abstergo memory core.<ref name="AC2" />

Desmond found numerous symbols echoing the ones in Clay's blood writing scattered across various landmarks, which contained the encrypted file fragments. Clay placed a safeguard in the files, however, as each Glyph had to be scanned with Eagle Vision to access it, and the files were only compatible with the Animus itself.<ref name="AC2" />

Desmond solved the puzzles contained within each Glyph, allowing him to access a short clip of The Truth video. Once all the Glyphs were solved, these short clips combined to form a complete footage from one of Clay's classified session at Abstergo, depicting [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] running through Eden with a stolen [[Apples of Eden|Apple of Eden]].<ref name="AC2" />

The puzzles revealed some of the activities of the Assassins and Templars and instances where Pieces of Eden had emerged across human history.<ref name="AC2" />

===Rome===
[[File:Ezio Cluster Entrance.png|thumb|250px|Ezio locating a Rift]]
When [[Shaun Hastings]] analyzed the results of the Glyph puzzles, he discovered the puzzles also contained coordinates to additional certain locations within the Animus. These led Desmond to a series of Cluster puzzles, accessible through the [[Rifts]] in programming in the city of [[Rome]].<ref name="ACB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' – Modern day</ref>

These Rifts were also safeguarded, as they did not physically appear on the landmarks at all unless seen with the Eagle Vision. Another notable difference was that Ezio had to physically enter a Rift, rather than just scan it.<ref name="ACB" />

After solving all ten of the Rift puzzles, a video message titled ''"The miracle is in the execution"'' appeared, though the Assassins figured it was not a video at all, but rather an encrypted file. Rebecca managed to make it accessible to Desmond. The file contained a course similar to the [[Animus Virtual Training Program]]. At the end, Desmond was presented with a digital image of Clay Kaczmarek, which spoke to him about Eve, the [[Sun]], [[Elijah|Desmond's son]], Eden and [[Black Room|the darkness]], before disappearing.<ref name="ACB" />

==Glyph locations==
Each Glyph was located on a historical landmark within the Animus. After approaching a landmark with a Glyph on it, the landmark's [[Database]] entry was marked with an eye icon. Proximity to a Glyph was also noticeable by an Animus-produced shimmering sound effect, identical to what Desmond heard near [[feather]]s and [[treasure chest]]s when reliving Ezio's life.
