	To prepare for his role as the new Black Cross, a role Berg viewed as a cutting from the Assassin Brotherhood grafted to the Templar Order, the Templar decided to study the lives of prominent Assassins such as [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]],<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 2\|Issue #2]]</ref> [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]],<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Reflections'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 1\|Issue #1]]</ref> [[Edward Kenway]],<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Reflections'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 3\|Issue #3]]</ref> and [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Reflections'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 4\|Issue #4]]</ref>		To prepare for his role as the new Black Cross, a role Berg viewed as a cutting from the Assassin Brotherhood grafted to the Templar Order, the Templar decided to study the lives of prominent Assassins such as [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]],<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 2\|Issue #2]]</ref> [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]],<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 1\|Issue #1]]</ref> [[Edward Kenway]],<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 3\|Issue #3]]</ref> and [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Reflections]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Reflections 4\|Issue #4]]</ref>

	By February 2017, Berg had fully embraced his role of Black Cross; accomplishing his official duties during the day while anonymously rooting out corruption from the Order by night with the help of André Bolden. In [[Hong Kong]], Otso Berg and Violet da Costa were called to investigate a former Phoenix Project site cleared out months an transformed into an archive office were several Assassins bodies were found.

	Juhani Otso Berg proved to be a hardened individual, ensuring operations proceeded efficiently.

	When Layla repelled Sigma Team, Berg made the initiative to confront the Assassin himself while she was reliving the memories of the ''misthios'' [[Kassandra]] in [[Atlantis]]. Berg revealed that he and the Templars had been tracking Layla ever since she found [[Herodotos]]' book ''[[Lost Histories]]''. When Layla brought up Elina's illness and what she could do with the Staff, Berg threatened the Assassin, demanding her to hand over the staff. After a fight that saw Layla defeating Berg, Layla used the Staff's tip to impale his back and left him paraplegic.

	In 2016, prior to becoming the new Black Cross, Otso Berg attended the induction of [[Simon Hathaway]] into the Inner Sanctum and the subsequent meeting; as he was on assignment, he was unable to physically be there, instead participating via video transmission.

	Ten days later, Hathaway interrupted a meeting by the Inner Sanctum and asked to present his case or face the consequences for having stolen the Sword of Eden, damaged Abstergo property and deleted the memories of [[Gabriel Laxart\|his ancestor]] and shared classified information with [[Anaya Chodary]] and [[Victoria Bibeau]]; Berg and Álvaro Gramática were alerted so they could once more attend. Hathaway accused the Templar Order of heresy, causing tension among all the members, and then presented his research. It explained everything from [[Jacques de Molay]]'s vision of the Templar Order to the history of the [[Swords of Eden]]. Berg, Reider, Nakamura and England were willing to consider De Molay's ideas. Following the presentation, Berg came to Hathaway's defense; in the end, Hathaway was not charged with anything for his actions as Rikkin and his cronies were relegated to the minority.<ref name="ACH 2">''Assassin's Creed: Heresy'' – Chapter 35</ref>		Ten days later, Hathaway interrupted a meeting by the Inner Sanctum and asked to present his case or face the consequences for having stolen the Sword of Eden, damaged Abstergo property and deleted the memories of [[Gabriel Laxart\|his ancestor]] and shared classified information with [[Anaya Chodary]] and [[Victoria Bibeau]]; Berg and Álvaro Gramática were alerted so they could once more attend.

	After agreeing to André's demand, the two returned to the facility and Berg explained to the team that they not only had to face a fractured timeline but also had to deal with the real possibility of losing track of the entire bloodline of the Black Cross due to Jan van der Graff being Andre's ancestor instead of Solomon Bolden. When Violet asked what they knew about Graff, Caitlin replied that they knew almost nothing, aside from a brief appearance in the accounts of [[Tavis Olier]].

After André asked Berg to explain what he meant by life and death and what it was all about, Berg revealed the truth of the situation to him, regarding the Templars, Assassins, the Pieces of Eden and the Black Cross. However, André did not believe Berg and called him crazy, to which Berg replied that, after everything André had seen and experienced, this did not sound too far fetched.<ref name="ACT Issue 8">''[[Assassin's Creed: Templars]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Templars 8\|Issue #8]]</ref>

Fortunately, Berg managed to pull André to cover just in time and subsequently jumped inside the vehicle and eliminated its occupants. After the car crashed, Berg got out of it and told André that they had to go. When André asked him what to do about the restaurant, Berg told him not to worry, as they owned it.

	However, when they started André's session, he screamed out in pain. Caitlin explained to Berg that there was a lot of violence in that stream, which made him realize that Graff was in a torture chamber. When Berg asked Caitlin if they could get past it, she was initially unsure, as there was a lot of it, but eventually managed to fast forward the memories to a few days afterward. After André's session was finished, Berg informed Violet that, although they still did not have enough, they could not make André come back by force. Berg also handed her the [[Templar pin]] that had belonged to Albert Bolden, instructing her to give it to André, as Berg himself was too busy cleaning up the mess caused by the drive-by shooting.
