Biography[edit | edit source]

Circa 30 CE, he was believed to have encountered Jesus of Nazareth on his way to his crucifixion at Golgotha, though all references to him were unreliable.[1] In 2014, Abstergo Industries added him to a list of possible Sages and sent it to their Future Technology division's Director of Research Álvaro Gramática. The Assassins later retrieved a copy of the information and stored it for the Helix Initiate to view themselves.[1]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Mentioned only in a database entry within the 2014 video game Assassin's Creed: Unity, "The Wanderer" draws parallels with the real-world folkloric figure of the Wandering Jew, a man who had met and mocked Jesus on his way to the crucifixion and thus was cursed with immortality, destined to roam Earth until the Second Coming.[2]
