Delilah is a legendary figure in Abrahamic mythology. Despite being a Philistine, a people in regular conflict with the Israelites, she was the lover of the Jewish man Samson, whom she was bribed to betray by cutting off his long hair that gave him divine strength because he was a Nazirite, before releasing him to her Philistine lords.[1]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Around 1609, the story of Samson and Delilah inspired artist Peter Paul Rubens to paint Samson and Delilah.[2]
In 2012, the Assassin Clay Kaczmarek found a digital copy of Rubens' painting while Abstergo Industries held him captive at their Animus Project laboratory in Rome. He then hid the art within the Animus 1.28 in Glyph puzzles for his successor, Desmond Miles, to find.[2] Sometime in early September,[3] Desmond solved the puzzle set titled "Instruments of Power", which contained Rubens' painting.[2] Some time later, Desmond explored Clay's genetic memories via the Animus' Black Room. During Clay's Assassin initiation, the simulation's walls displayed stylistic Hebrew that read "Dlila" from top to bottom.[4]
