==Other things to do==
The French Army set up their headquarters in the [[Castra Praetoria]] in Rome, and remained in the city for the next three years to protect the Vatican from the [[Assassins]]. They stormed [[Monteriggioni]] with the Papal army under Cesare and Octavian's command. The French forces quickly became entangled with the local [[Mercenaries|mercenary guild]] led by the Assassin condottiero [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]].<ref name="ACBH"/>

In August 1503, Assassin [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] aided the mercenaries in removing the French's presence in Rome after Octavian kidnapped Bartolomeo's wife [[Pantasilea Baglioni]]. Taking on the guise of French soldiers, Ezio and a regiment of mercenaries infiltrated the Castra Praetoria pretending to deliver Bartolomeo to Octavian, in exchange for Pantasilea's freedom. When Octavian instead opted to kill Pantasilea, the mercenaries attacked and a skirmish ensued inside the fortress. Octavian retreated deeper into the fortress with Pantasilea, though Ezio managed to follow and assassinate him. With most French soldiers and Octavian dead, the remaining French forces retreated back to France.<ref name="ACBH"/>

In 1509, the French were at war with the [[Republic of Venice]].

===Colonial era===
{{Era|AC2|ACB|ACR|DYL|TSC|ACE}}
After the [[Age of Discovery]], France entered a period of colonialism, establishing colonies throughout [[North America]]; France owned colonies in modern [[Canada]] and the [[United States]], such as [[Louisiana]], and also [[Haiti|Saint-Domingue]] in the [[Caribbean]]. The French Army was present in all of these colonies, enforcing the French regime.<ref name="AC3L">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>
The '''Far East''' referred to the countries located in east [[Asia]].


The French occupied [[Fort Duquesne]] during the [[French and Indian War|Seven Years' War]], and allied with the [[Shawnee]], [[Abenaki]] and [[Lenape]] natives during the attack on the [[Braddock Expedition]]. They ultimately lost the war, forcing them to cede [[Quebec]] to the British, though they secretly agreed to hand over Louisiana to the [[Spanish Army]] before signing the treaty with the British. Over a decade later, French soldiers led by the [[Marquis de Lafayette]] helped the [[Continental Army]] win the [[American Revolutionary War]], striking a major blow to the British Empire.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>
The [[Chinese Assassins|Chinese]] and [[Mongolian Assassins|Mongolian]] branches of the [[Assassins]] were active in the region, removing tyrants like [[Qin Shi Huang]] and [[Genghis Khan]]. Despite Genghis' assassination at the hands of [[Qulan Gal]], and the aid of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]], they were unable to stop the spread of the [[Mongol Empire]] and the conquering of [[China]].


After the [[French Revolution]], [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] led the French Army to many victories across Europe using an [[Apple of Eden 1|Apple of Eden]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' - [[Glyphs]]</ref>
The [[Italian Assassins]], including [[Marco Polo]], travelled through the Far East and to the court of [[Kublai Khan]], where they recovered [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex]].

By 1524, the Chinese Assassins had been wiped out by the Emperor [[Jiajing]]. After seeking the aid of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], the former Mentor of the Italian Assassins, [[Shao Jun]] journey back to her country to rebuild the Order. By the 21st century, the Assassins had a cell located in [[Osaka]], [[Japan]].

==Calculations==
The [[Aztecs]]' worship of {{Wiki|Tezcatlipoca}} involved human sacrifices, greatly disgusting the [[Spanish Army|troops]] under [[Hernán Cortés]].
The [[First Civilization]]'s mathematical studies made them proficient in the studies of alternate timelines.


*The [[Apple of Eden 3|Apple of Eden]] showed [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] that if his mother [[Kaniehtí:io]] had never died, then he would not have been around to confiscate it from [[George Washington]] and prevent him from being corrupted by its power.
The [[Hermeticists]] believed man, the gods and the world were all equal, and were driven underground as their beliefs undermined the Church.
*[[Juno]] showed [[Desmond Miles]] what would happen if [[Lucy Stillman]] had lived: [[Abstergo Industries|Abstergo]] would have arrived to claim [[Ezio's Apple of Eden]], and then failed to prevent the cataclysm after placing it in the [[Eye-Abstergo]] satellite.
*She later showed Desmond that if he did not release her from the [[Grand Temple]], then the cataclysm would have destroyed humanity, and he would have led the survivors in a restart of civilization. Long after his death, history would have repeated itself, as Desmond would have been worshipped as a god, and his teachings used to justify mass murder.


==Moral ambiguity==
The [[Freemasons]] were a Brotherhood founded after the Renaissance which allowed any man, regardless of what god he believed in, to join.
{{Quote|What follows are the three great ironies of the Assassin Order: (1) Here we seek to promote peace, but murder is our means. (2) Here we seek to open the minds of men, but require obedience to a master and set of rules. (3) Here we seek to reveal the danger of blind faith, yet we are practitioners ourselves.|[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]'s [[Codex]]|Assassin's Creed II}}
Despite their relative benevolence to the majority of Templar activities, many Assassins expressed discomfort with their Order. When [[Desmond Miles]] was rescued by the Assassins, he assumed they were the "good guys", but [[Shaun Hastings]] advised him to "not get carried away", reminding him their function was to kill people. [[Rebecca Crane]] acknowledged "it's not ideal. And taking a life is never easy. But sometimes there's no other way. Sometimes, Desmond, people have to die for things to change."<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref> Desmond's ancestor [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] tried to avoid killing [[William Johnson]], and when he had to, he told his Mentor [[Achilles Davenport|Achilles]] that "I thought it might bring clarity. Or instill a sense of accomplishment. But all I feel is regret." Achilles comforted him, explaining to "hold fast to that. Such sacrifices must never come lightly."<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>


Both Desmond and [[Lucy Stillman]] fell out with their leader [[William Miles]]: his cold demeanour and the harsh training he put them through since childhood led Desmond to regard his father as a "[prison] warden" rather than a father.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref> Lucy defected to the Templars after being sent to infiltrate them, telling [[Clay Kaczmarek]] that William was "using" them and claimed "he doesn't think about the lives he's hurting. We aren't people to him."<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' - ''[[The Lost Archive]]''</ref>
During the [[French Revolution]], the revolutionary government tried to replace Christianity with the worship of the Supreme Being, an anthromorphisation of reason. [http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-GB/news/news_detail.aspx?c=tcm:154-177119-16&ct=tcm:148-76770-32]
 
[[Nikolai Orelov]] served the Order to please his father, with whom he had a negative relationship. When he left, he felt "I began as a crusader for change and now I am no better than a common grave-robber."<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''</ref> When the Assassins in the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] began holding his family hostage to make him give up his secrets, he opined to his son [[Innokenti Orelov|Innokenti]] "These are not honourable men, Kenya. They are killers. They live by old laws which apply only to them and then call themselves heroes." However, Orelov was also brutal towards his son when training him to fight the Assassins. Viewing these events via his [[genetic memory]], Orelov's great-grandson [[Daniel Cross]] deemed the Assassins "a family of wolves, opportunistic, savage. They'll turn on each other at a moment's notice: they're anarchists. And anarchy can never lead to a unified world."<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Chain]]''</ref>
 
Connor expressed disdain for the Assassins' secrecy, an opinion shared centuries earlier by some Assassins under Altaïr's leadership, who disagreed with him taking the Order back underground. Altaïr wrote "They grow angry, insisting it is a mistake to shroud ourselves. They say it slows our work. But they do not understand the risks. To expose ourselves now would be too dangerous. I fear we would be branded madmen and attacked."<ref name="AC2"/>
 
The Assassins also allied with dubious figures such as members of the [[House of Medici]] or [[Vladimir Lenin]], or would spare the likes of [[Tomas de Torquemada]], simply because they were not Templars. [[Vali cel Tradat]] left the Assassins before the Templars because they did not try to stop the [[Ottoman Empire]]'s conquest of his native [[Wallachia]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

Other things to do[edit | edit source]


"Hey, did you ever think about that word? "Smuggler?" Rather funny, isn't it?"
―A smuggler working for Upton Travers, 1715.[src]

Smuggling is the illegal transportation of goods.

Far East[edit | edit source]

For the inevitable Shao Jun or Japanese ACs.


The Far East referred to the countries located in east Asia.

The Chinese and Mongolian branches of the Assassins were active in the region, removing tyrants like Qin Shi Huang and Genghis Khan. Despite Genghis' assassination at the hands of Qulan Gal, and the aid of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, the Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, they were unable to stop the spread of the Mongol Empire and the conquering of China.

The Italian Assassins, including Marco Polo, travelled through the Far East and to the court of Kublai Khan, where they recovered Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex.

By 1524, the Chinese Assassins had been wiped out by the Emperor Jiajing. After seeking the aid of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the former Mentor of the Italian Assassins, Shao Jun journey back to her country to rebuild the Order. By the 21st century, the Assassins had a cell located in Osaka, Japan.

Religion[edit | edit source]

Religion is something the leaders of the Templars and Assassins do not practice due to their knowledge of the First Civilization. The former often moved into religious positions of power to control people, while the latter protected the rights of people to believe what they wanted.

The Aztecs' worship of Tezcatlipoca involved human sacrifices, greatly disgusting the troops under Hernán Cortés.

The Hermeticists believed man, the gods and the world were all equal, and were driven underground as their beliefs undermined the Church.

The Freemasons were a Brotherhood founded after the Renaissance which allowed any man, regardless of what god he believed in, to join.

During the French Revolution, the revolutionary government tried to replace Christianity with the worship of the Supreme Being, an anthromorphisation of reason. [1]
