'''Jupiter''' was an [[Isu]] scientist, [[Father of Understanding]], and member of the [[Capitoline Triad]]. Alongside the [[Sacred Voice]] [[Minerva]] and the [[Mother of Wisdom]] [[Juno]], he took charge of the gathering and testing of information within the [[Grand Temple]], in order to circumvent the [[Great Catastrophe]].

In 2012, through the [[Synch Nexus]], Jupiter spoke with at least one descendant of both Isu and humans, [[Desmond Miles]].

==Names==
Jupiter was known by many names both throughout and after his lifetime due to his long life and legacy as a god to humanity. His earliest known name was '''{{Wiki|Tinia}}''',<ref name="In Bocca Al Lupo">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[In Bocca Al Lupo]]</ref> but with the evolution of human religion, a number of distinct and sometimes contemporaneous appellations arose. To the ancient [[ancient Rome|Romans]], he was known as '''Jupiter''', the Roman King of the Gods, and was known as '''{{Wiki|Zeus}}''', the ''"golden child atop [[Mount Olympos]]"'', to the ancient [[Greece|Greeks]].<ref name="ACOdJoA">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis]]'' – [[Isu codex]]: "Various: A Tale of Brothers"</ref> In [[Norsemen|Norse]] [[Norse mythology|mythology]], Jupiter was known as '''{{Wiki|Suttungr}}''', the king of [[Jötunheimr]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Database: Suttungr]]</ref>

==Biography==
===Isu Era===
During the [[Isu Era]], Jupiter was considered the "golden child" amongst his siblings and resided on [[Mount Olympos]]. He shared a hostile relationship with his older brothers [[Hades]] and [[Poseidon]], who ruled the realms of the [[Underworld]] and [[Atlantis]], respectively.<ref name="ACOdJoA" />

According to one Atlantean myth, a matter which led Jupiter to personally visit Atlantis and reprimand Poseidon enraged the Trident King so much that he destroyed the very cycle in which the meeting had occurred and any further mentions of his sibling was considered taboo.<ref name="ACOdJoA" />

===Isolation in the Grand Temple===
{{Quote|Both before the end and after, we sought to save the world.|Jupiter, in the Synch Nexus, 2012.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations|21st century conversations}}
Upon the outbreak of the [[Human-Isu War]], Jupiter was one who chose to find a means of preventing the coming disaster.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

On the construction of [[Temple (Isu)|Temples]] to research methods of doing so, Jupiter, Minerva and Juno were given the responsibility of sorting and sampling the possible solutions that would prevent the disaster. The three convened in the Grand Temple, where all the findings from the lesser Temples were gathered, in order to select and test them.<ref name="ACR" />

However, though they found each succeeding method to be more promising, each one of the methods failed.  At some point, [[Aletheia]] spoke with Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, who were working on a [[Yggdrasil|seventh method]] to ensure the survival of the Isu.  Yet by that point, Jupiter and Minerva had their concerns about it, as this method involved uploading Isu DNA into a human host, similar to the fifth method.<ref name=":0">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' - [[Animus Anomalies]]</ref> Minerva worried that this would pollute the human genome, and thus the seventh method was ultimately abandoned.<ref name=":1">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' - [[A Feast to Remember]]</ref>

Shortly thereafter, an Isu named [[Ægir]] lost a bet and sent a cauldron to Jupiter, but it got lost along the way. Much to Jupiter’s relief, the cauldron was recovered by the Norse Isu, [[Odin]], as a peace treaty between the two factions of Greco-Roman and Asgardian Isu.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' - [[The Lost Cauldron]]</ref> Delighted, Jupiter decided to hold a feast in celebration of the peace, and agreed to Odin’s suggestion to invite Minerva, his daughter. However, at some point during the feast, Aletheia’s lover, [[Loki]], warned Jupiter of Odin’s true intentions: to steal the seventh method for himself. Angered by this deception, Jupiter confronted Odin at the entrance of the Grand Temple and the two Isu fought in a duel.  Odin ultimately won, and made his leave, but not before Jupiter warned him that he would ultimately still fail.<ref name=":1" /> After learning that Juno aided Odin in his scheme, Jupiter and Minerva stripped Juno of her title as “Mother of Wisdom” for her crimes.<ref name=":0" />

===Great Catastrophe and aftermath===
Some time later, the First Disaster fell upon them, burning the Earth and wiping out nearly all members of the First Civilization.<ref name="ACR" /> Jupiter stood up as one of the survivors alongside Minerva. Together, knowing that their end was near, they helped humanity rebuild their civilization, constructed a [[Global aurora borealis device|device]] to prevent [[Second Disaster|another cataclysm]] from ocurring millenia later and used the [[calculations]] to try and find the means to make future humans capable of finding it. Like what happened to all the remaining Isu, Jupiter eventually died and the makings of his life were passed down to myth.<ref name=":2">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' - [[21st century conversations|Modern day]]</ref>

==Legacy==
===The Vault===
In 1499, Minerva mentioned Jupiter in her warning to Desmond Miles, who she addressed through the Prophet, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]].<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

===Synch Nexus===
{{Quote|Take my words. Pass them from your head into your hands. That is how you will open the way.|Jupiter to Desmond.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
In the year 2012, Jupiter spoke with Desmond, whom he referred to as "the [[Cipher]]", in the nexus of time. There, he told him of the Temples and of the First Disaster. In order to prevent the [[Second Disaster]], Jupiter urged Desmond to seek out the Grand Temple and told him the means of opening the way.<ref name="ACR" />

===The Second Disaster===
Jupiter did not appear when Desmond entered the Grand Temple as the Second Disaster approached, as the Cipher conversed mostly with Juno. Jupiter's image was used by Juno when showing Desmond holographic projections of the Triad's proposed solutions to the First Disaster. Later, Minerva appeared and revealed that she and Jupiter imprisoned Juno and allowed the First Disaster to occur rather than allow her to enslave the Earth. Minerva also revealed that she and Jupiter (or Tinia, as she called him) spent many centuries following the First Disaster walking among humans trying to rekindle the spark of civilization.<ref name=":2" />

==Mythology==
===Greek mythology===
In time, Jupiter, like many of his fellow Isu, was upheld by humanity as a god. In [[Greek mythology]], he was known as Zeus, born as the youngest son of the [[Titan]] [[Kronos]] and his wife [[Rhea]]. In fear of a prophecy foretelling his overthrow by his child, Kronos devoured all of his children, save for Zeus, who was hidden by Rhea.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Historical Locations#Sanctuary of Mt. Zas|Naxos: Sanctuary of Mt. Zas]]</ref> 

In time, Zeus fulfilled the prophecy and cast Kronos out, creating a new world order with his siblings and other gods, settling on [[Mount Olympus]] with eleven other [[Twelve Gods|mightiest]] deities.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – : "Bios of the Gods: Hades"</ref>

Zeus is infamous for his various relationships with multiple individuals, divine and mortal alike. Via these unions, Zeus is considered to have fathered multiple heroes of Greek mythology, including [[Herakles]], [[Perseus]]<ref name="A Treasury of Legends">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[A Treasury of Legends]]</ref> and [[Kastor and Polydeukes|Polydeukes]]<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – [[Historical Locations#Altar of the Dioskouroi|Lakonia: Altar of the Dioskouroi]]</ref> as well as Greek deities, including [[Persephone]], [[Dionysos]], [[Charites]], [[Ares]], [[Eris]], [[Hebe]], [[Hephaistos]], [[Pan]], [[Apollo]] and [[Artemis]].<ref name="ACOd">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey''</ref>

According to one story, Zeus united the 'Great Twins', [[Kastor and Polydeukes|Castor and Pollux]], in immortality by turning them into the constellation {{Wiki|Gemini (constellation)|Gemini}}, via which they later came to signify the astrological sign {{Wiki|Gemini (astrology)|Gemini}}.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Pirates]]''</ref>

In the myths Hephaistos was credited also as the acting midwife for Zeus when it had come the time for Athena to be born. With a [[labrys]], Hephaistos cleaved Zeus' head open to free the goddess.<ref name="Labrys">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Labrys (Origins)|Labrys]]</ref>

==Legacy and influence==
===Greek culture===
[[File:ACOd-banner-Elis.jpg|thumb|100px|The banner of Elis featuring the stylized lightning bolt]]
Zeus' main emblem was lightning bolt, and in the 5th century BCE, a stylized version of it graced the banner of [[Elis]] as well as the [[drachma]]e. The god was also associated with the [[eagle]], often standing for the god himself, or perched near him.<ref name="ACOd" />

During the 5th century BCE, multiple locations related to the stories told of Zeus' life were named after him throughout the [[Peloponnese]] and the [[Aegean Sea]].<ref name="ACOd" />

Several [[Statue of Zeus|statues]] of him also graced locations like [[Mount Ainos]] on the island of [[Kephallonia]], though most notable among them was the [[Statue of Zeus, Olympia|statue]] made by the [[Athens|Athenian]] sculptor [[Phidias]] in [[Temple of Zeus, Olympia|Temple of Zeus]] within the [[Sanctuary of Olympia]] in [[Elis]]. The [[Sparta]]n ''[[Mercenary|misthios]]'' [[Kassandra]] visited a number of them over the course of her journeys.<ref name="ACOd" />

==Behind the scenes==
Jupiter, the Roman name for the Greek god Zeus, is a character first introduced in the 2011 game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', where he was voiced by the [[Canada|Canadian]] actor [[Tony Robinow]]. Jupiter appeared next in 2012's ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'', though in a non-speaking flashback. Robinow would not reprise his role until the 2020 game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'', where he voiced Jupiter's Norse analog of Suttungr.

Jupiter is also referred to as Tinia in the [[The Art of Assassin's Creed: Revelations|artbook]] for ''Revelations'' and the [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations (novel)|''Revelations'' novel]], as well as throughout ''Assassin's Creed III''. Jupiter was first referred to as "Zeus" in Issue 26 of ''[[Assassin's Creed: The Official Collection]]''.

In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', a [[Monteriggioni statuette|statuette]] of Jupiter is among those that can be collected in [[Monteriggioni]]. It is paired with a statue of Minerva. The pair's description read "''Here sits the king of all [[Mount Olympus|Olympus]] and beside him stands wisdom, to guide his rule.''" The statuette of Jupiter is based on {{Wiki|Zeus|Jupiter of Smyrna}}, also called ''Zeus de Smyrne''.

Jupiter's helmet resembles an [[eagle]], his animal motif in Greco-Roman tradition and a common symbol of the [[Assassins]].

In the ''Assassins Creed: Revelations'' novel, Jupiter refers to Minerva and Juno as his sisters. However, in Roman mythology, Minerva is his daughter while Juno is indeed his sister, whom he is married to. Similiarly in Greek mythology, Athena is his daughter while Hera is also his sister-wife.

Jupiter is briefly seen in the holographic projections inside the Grand Temple, which is shown to Desmond by Juno upon describing the six solutions that the Isu had worked on.

Tinia is one part of the [[Capitoline Triad]] that ruled over the Roman gods. The triad consisted of Tinia (Jupiter), Uni (Juno) and Merva/Mera (Minerva).
