	The '''Staff of Hermes Trismegistus''', also known as the '''Staff of Hermes''' or the '''Caduceus''', is an extremely powerful [[Piece of Eden]] created by the [[Isu]] philosopher [[Hermes Trismegistus]] which grants a variety of abilities to its wielder, most notably biological immortality.		The '''Staff of Hermes Trismegistus''', also known as the '''Staff of Hermes''' or the '''Caduceus''', is an extremely powerful [[Piece of Eden]] created by the [[Isu]] philosopher [[Hermes Trismegistus]] which grants a variety of abilities to its wielder, most notably biological immortality.

	From its creation until the 6th century BCE, it was wielded by Hermes himself before he passed it on to [[Pythagoras]] who, in turn, passed it on to his daughter, [[Kassandra]], decades later. Becoming its Keeper for more than two millennia, Kassandra passed the Staff to the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Layla Hassan]] in 2018. In 2020, the Staff was acquired by the former Hidden One [[Basim ~~Ibn~~ Ishaq]], who had survived centuries trapped in suspended animation, after Layla dropped it while inside the [[Temple (Isu)\|Isu Temple]] holding [[Yggdrasil]].

	The Staff prevented the wielder from physically aging, allowing them to maintain the same appearance as when they first received the artifact. Once the Staff was relinquished, all of its effects were removed near-instantly, as seen when both Pythagoras and Kassandra aged rapidly and passed away within moments of giving up the Piece of Eden. This demonstrated the limits of the immortality granted by the Staff—it did not make the wielder truly "immortal", but rather preserved their body, shielding it from the passage of time. Whether physical contact between the wielder and the Staff is required to impart such longevity is unknown. Those who passed ownership of the Staff onto another individual, either willingly or by force, at a point that was past the former owner's natural lifespan would die almost instantaneously. This passage of ownership required both parties to maintain simultaneous physical contact with the Staff.<ref name="ACOD"/>		The Staff prevented the wielder from physically aging, allowing them to maintain the same appearance as when they first received the artifact.

	With Aletheia doubtful of Layla's role as the Heir of Memories after this violent episode, Layla discovered that she had, in fact, murdered Victoria.

Using the Staff as a [[spear]], Layla defeated Berg and stabbed him in the spine, leaving him paralyzed but stable.

After finishing the last simulation, Layla awoke to discover that Otso Berg himself had come to Atlantis' throne room to confront her and take the Staff. Using the Staff as a [[spear]], Layla defeated Berg and stabbed him in the spine, leaving him paralyzed but stable.

	Some time later, Kassandra began to hear the voice of Aletheia coming from the Staff and eventually witnessed her apparition-like hologram on the [[Island of Triton]].

	Following Kassandra's death and her experience with the ''misthios''{{'}} memories, Layla found the [[Great Seal to Atlantis\|locked seal]] to the Throne Room of Atlantis. There, the virtual consciousness of Aletheia contacted her and directed her to visit the four tombs that Kassandra had visited before her time as Keeper in order to decipher the symbols at the entrance of the room and find the right passcode.<ref name="Lost Tales of Greece">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]] – [[The Lost Tales of Greece]]'' – [[21st century conversations\|Modern day]]</ref>		Following Kassandra's death and her experience with the ''misthios''{{'}} memories, Layla found the [[Great Seal to Atlantis\|locked seal]] to the Throne Room of Atlantis.

	Once inside, Layla once again relived the genetic memories of Kassandra, this time of her experiences within the simulations. While ~~within~~ the Throne Room, [[Victoria Bibeau]] accompanied Layla and attempted to stop her from continuing, noticing her instability caused by the Staff,<ref name="Fields of Elysium">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]] – [[The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium]]'' – [[21st century conversations\|Modern day]]</ref> amplified by her brief sojourn into the genetic memories of [[Alexios\|Deimos]], Kassandra's brother, that had caused a sort of corrupting [[Bleeding Effect]].<ref name="Lost Tales of Greece"/>		Once inside, Layla once again relived the genetic memories of Kassandra, this time of her experiences within the simulations.

	Soon, the pair were ambushed by members of [[Sigma Team]], elite [[Templars\|Templar]] operatives under the command of [[Juhani Otso Berg]] that had them bugged since the discovery of the lost city. Layla used the Staff to kill most of the ambushing party, leaving only one Sigma Team operate alive to allow him to return to his leader and deliver a warning. A worried Victoria then reluctantly let Layla return to the Animus to relive Kassandra's memories of the Underworld simulation.<ref name="Fields of Elysium"/>		Soon, the pair were ambushed by members of [[Sigma Team]], elite [[Templars\|Templar]] operatives under the command of [[Juhani Otso Berg]] that had them bugged since the discovery of the lost city.

	After reaching the Yggdrasil vault, Layla used the Staff to survive the chamber's dangerous radiation in order to reach the supercomputer, but dropped the Staff upon interfacing with the [[Animus]]-like device.
