	As the years passed, the Isu inevitably became extinct, though humankind continued to revere them as gods in their various religions. It was not until the rise of monotheistic religions such as ~~{{Wiki\|~~Judaism}}, [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]] began to spread across the globe that humanity forget their pagan "gods", though there were those who [[Instruments of the First Will\|continued to worship them]], and those who came to see the Isu for what they really were.<ref name="AC2" /> Foremost among these groups were the [[Assassins]] and [[Templars]].

	By the 12th century, both Assassins and Templars firmly believed that the gods of old did not truly exist, and realized that many so-called "miracles" attributed to them had actually been the workings of the [[Pieces of Eden]]. However, upon the acquisition of one such Piece–an [[Apple of Eden 2\|Apple of Eden]]–by the Assassin [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] in 1191, humanity at last started to become aware of the true nature of the old pagan gods.<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>		By the 12th century, both Assassins and Templars firmly believed that the gods of old did not truly exist, and realized that many so-called "miracles" attributed to them had actually been the workings of the [[Pieces of Eden]].

	Early humans could not comprehend the true nature of their creators, instead choosing to see them as gods. In order to ensure the obedience of their creations, the Isu developed a [[neurotransmitter]] that was inserted into the neural network of their workforce. This neurotransmitter responded to the commands of certain Pieces of Eden and ensured humanity's obedience by controlling their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Over time, however, interbreeding between Isu and humans led to the development of a hybrid species that were born without the neurotransmitter, and as such were not susceptible to the mind-controlling powers of the Pieces of Eden.

	Following the birth of the hybrids, and their eventual interbreeding with pure-blooded humans, humanity's bloodlines became mixed with that of the Isu.
