Several vague terms Ubisoft uses in the encyclopedia, because they can't be clear about it:
==Assassins==
===Great Recoinage of 1696===
In 1696, the [[Great Recoinage of 1696|Great Recoinage]] in Great Britain resulted in the rise of money counterfeiters in the country. The Assassin [[William Lowndes]], the Secretary to the Treasury, was tasked by King [[William III of England|William III]] to resolve the issue through the help of the warden of the Royal Mint, [[Isaac Newton]]. Lowndes, in turn, employed his fellow Assassin [[Omar Khaled]] to help Newton as his new assistent.<ref name="ACG">''[[Assassin's Creed: Gold]]''</ref>


After tracing counterfeiters to [[William Chaloner]], Khaled and Newton attended a ball held by Lord Benedict Crystal that Chaloner would attend. There, Khaled reconnected with childhood friend [[Rose Galloway]]. After her jewelry got stolen and she chased the thief, Khaled discovered she also possessed Eagle Vision, leading him to recruit her for the Brotherhood. After informing Lowndes and having his suspicions about her skills confirmed, Khaled started Rose's training.<ref name="ACG"/>


*"Another member of the Roman Brotherhood, the Assassin Leonius, killed Emperor Caligula in 41 CE."
After the jewelry thief attacked Newton in Newgate Jail, he revealed he was blackmailed into the robbery, and gave up his blackmailer's address. Khaled and Newton discovered a body with a note containing coordinated, leading to several counterfeiter's addresses.  
**Roman "Brotherhood"?
*"...the Brotherhood, under the leadership of Al Mualim, had achieved prominence and notoriety across the Levant. Their main base of operations was in the walled city of Masyaf. The city thus became the cornerstone of the Assassin network;"
**This hints at the Assassin Order being ONLY located in the Levant, yet there are also [[Mongolian Assassins]], and it is said on several instances that the Order is a global organization. Additionally, it is said that before the 20th century, there was not just ONE leader of the Order.
*"By the 15th century, the center of Assassin activity had shifted from the Levant to Italy."
**This just completely ignores all the other Assassins outside of Italy during the Renaissance, particularly those in Spain and the Ottoman Empire. The Encyclopedia's Assassins article just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
*"The Templars, under the leadership of Rodrigo Borgia,"
**All Templars were under Rodrigo's control? Also those in China?
*"Al Mualim, leader of the Assassins,"
**Again, there was not just one leader before the 20th century, right?
*"At the same time [Altaïr] began to finalize the dismantling of the Brotherhood's headquarters within Masyaf, preferring to see many Assassins Guilds across the world rather than one central quarter of operations."
**There already were Assassins in other areas of the world during Altaïr's time, such as Mongolia, so this is completely redundant.
*"Altaïr also gave his Codex to the Polo brothers, trusting them to establish Assassin cells throughout the world."
**Cells? The term "cells" is also used to refer to the small Assassin teams during 2012, later on in the encyclopedia. A "cell" and a "guild" are NOT the same thing.
*"and learned from Santángel that the Spanish Assassins Guild had been arrested as part of the recent Spanish Inquisition,"
**This implies that one Assassins Guild spans an entire country, yet on other occasions, the term "branches" are used and in the Contracts from ''Brotherhood'' and the Mediterranean Defense from ''Revelations'' it is heavily implied that Guilds span a single city. Vague.
*"[Shaun Hastings,] being the tactical lifeline of at least one Assassin cell in Sao Paolo."
**The Assassin teams, consisting of approximately FOUR members, as of 2012, are "cells". So, the Polo brothers did NOT go to create any of these "cells", as I said before.
*"Aquilus, a distant ancestor of Desmond Miles, was a Gallo-Roman member of the Assassin Brotherhood from Lugdunum (modern-day Lyon, France) during the 3rd century CE."
**I do not kind of agree with the choice of the words "Assassin Brotherhood from Lugdunum", seeing as they also say "Assassin Brotherhood in the Levant" in the Encyclopedia, which isn't really of the same caliber in comparison. However, this hints at there being more Assassin in Lugdunum aside from Aquilus and Lucius, which is not implied in the French comic, and also a bit confusing, in my opinion.
*"Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (1165 - 1257) was a Syrian Assassin during the Third Crusade, becoming leader Master of the Brotherhood in 1191."
**I need not explain. Though I should add that in ''Revelations'', Al Mualim, Altaïr and Abbas are only referred to as "Mentor", not "Master". The term Mentor was used for any Assassin leader who had received an extraordinary amount of skill and knowledge. Therefore, they were simply "Assassin leaders" of a branch, and NOT the entire Order.
*"Al Mualim (unknown - 1191) was leader of the Assassin Brotherhood in the Levant during the Third Crusade, governing the Assassins from Masyaf, Syria."
**Finally something that DOES make sense. "Assassin Brotherhood '''in the Levant'''", emphasis on the last three words there.
*"Though on the surface a regular ''condottiero'', Mario was actually leader of the Assassins in Italy."
**Yes, "Assassins in Italy". No mention of guilds or cells, whatsoever; so nothing confusing here.
*"Upon his arrival, he quickly fell in with the Ottoman Assassins and their leader, Yusuf Tazim,"
**Look at the following:
*"Yusuf Tazim (c. 1465 - 1512), head of the Assassins in Constantinople, was an affable Turkish Assassin"
**The Ottoman Assassins were not only located in Constantinople, as the Mediterranean Defense from ''Revelations'' confirms that there were also Assassins in [[Bursa]]. Thus, this is contradicting.
*"Yusuf was a charismatic leader and kept the Ottoman Assassin's guild intact"
**Ugh...
*"Rodrigo Borgia (1431 - 1503) was a Spanish aristocrat who was both Grand Master of the Templar Order and an important figure in the Catholic Church,"
**Okay, fair enough. Rodrigo was the leader of the entire Templar Order, as this implies. But then there's this:
*"Operating on the fringe of society, the Order's leaders--eventually led by Rodrigo Borgia--forgot their true purpose, blinded by greed and personal ambition. Templars refer to this period as the Dark Age of the Order. Still, in other parts of the world the Templars remained strong; in Asia, for instance, they aided Emperor Jiajing secure his hold upon China."
**How can Rodrigo lead the Templars in China, when contact between Italy and China was non-existent during the Renaissance, and the Italian Templars and Chinese Templars both had different motives and ideals? Very contradicting.
*"Born in the late 19th century, Nikolai Orelov was a member of the Russian branch of the Assassin Brotherhood,"
**And now, the term branch is used. This one, to me, makes the most sense, since it's a proper term to span all Assassins in the whole country, and all of these Assassins share common objectives.


So, with all these confusing and contradicting points I mentioned, I'm just going to go for:
===2019===
 
In 2019, Gavin Banks discerned that a coin pressed around the time of the Great Recoinage of 1696 contained a code that could help stop a virus program from spreading. Banks found a modern day descendant of the Assassin Omar Khaled, [[Aliyah Khan]], and attracted her attention at an underground poker game in London's Chinatown.

*There were "Assassin branches" up until the 20th century, when they were united under a single "Mentor", and they split up into "Assassin camps" (such as [[the Farm]] and the Philadelphia camp from ''The Fall''). Then, during the Great Purge, when most Assassin camps were exterminated by the Templars following the Mentor's assassination by Daniel Cross, the Assassins split up into small "Assassin cells", like the one Desmond is part of.
*There were "Templar branches" up unil the 20th century, when they were united under Abstergo Industries.

2019[edit | edit source]

In 2019, Gavin Banks discerned that a coin pressed around the time of the Great Recoinage of 1696 contained a code that could help stop a virus program from spreading. Banks found a modern day descendant of the Assassin Omar Khaled, Aliyah Khan, and attracted her attention at an underground poker game in London's Chinatown. Banks employed her aid in exchange for help with her financial troubles, and along with My'shell Lemair, helped her explore her ancestor's memories in the Animus.[1]
