[NAME] the Smoldering was known for [[Mallet of Everlasting Flame|the hammer]] [sic] she kept. People said it was ever-burning, that its flame was fed by her victims, or that she pulled it, bare-knuckled, from the heart of a volcano. Many scoffed. She turned them into believers one burning strike at a time. | |||

Datamined files from the 2017 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' reveal two texts for [[Gaius Julius Caesar]], implying that he was planned to appear in the target menu. The texts read as follows: | |||
<blockquote>A charismatic and bold man, Caesar has risen up the ranks of the [[Roman Republic|Republic]] and crossed the {{Wiki|Rubicon}} to be the foremost politician in Rome. Beloved by both his inner circle and the people of the eternal city, Gaius Julius is a born leader and strong orator, as adept at politics as he is at military strategy. However, when he arrives in Alexandria, he is quickly seduced by Egypt and her young queen.<br><br>After the events at Siwa, the [[Scepter of Alexander the Great|Staff of Alexander]] was placed into the eager hands of Julius Caesar. But with [[Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus]] dead and Caesar's growing influence and power wining hearts and minds, those less enamored of the {{Wiki|Roman dictator|dictator}} took action. With the [[Roman Hidden Ones|Liberatores]] [[Gaius Cassius Longinus|Cassius]] and [[Marcus Junius Brutus|Brutus]], Aya came to Rome and the newly formed [[The Creed|Creed]] had its first target. On the {{Wiki|Ides of March}}, Aya [[Assassination of Julius Caesar|assassinated Caesar]] in the [[Theatre of Pompey|Senate]], little knowing an Empire would [[Liberators' civil war|arise]] from his ashes.</blockquote> | |||
Additionally, the files include icons for the four assassination targets from ''Origins''{{'}} 2018 [[Assassin's Creed: Origins downloadable content|downloadable]] expansion ''[[The Hidden Ones (DLC)|The Hidden Ones]]'' as well as [[Gamilat]], implying they were meant to be in a cut target menu and also suggesting that Gamilat may have initially been planned to be an Order member. | |||

The target menu was an Animus interface that kept track of clues, interpersonal relationships, and biographies pertaining to the identities of various individuals that were being investigated or hunted by the session's historical subject. The menu has gone by different names during different sessions and Animus models.
Called Conspirators, the Animus 2.0's target menu while Desmond Miles used it[1] tracked the members of the Templar conspiracy that orchestrated the deaths of Ezio Auditore's father Giovanni and two brothers Petruccio and Federico, which lead him to its leader, the Roman Templars' Grand Master Rodrigo Borgia.[2]
The menu, composed of square markers in which the face of each conspirator would be placed, was initially disorganized and contained some loose connections, alluding to Ezio's lack of knowledge about the true nature of the conspiracy. Once his uncle Mario told him about the Templar's schemes, the menu reshaped itself into a series of concentric circles, each one getting bolder as it neared the center of the diagram, where Rodrigo Borgia was highlighted by a Templar cross. The faces of the conspirators would go from partially blurred to completely revealed as Ezio gathered clues about their identity, and a red cross would be marked upon their square's frame when Ezio had either killed or defeated them.[2]

Called Targets, the Portable Animus HR.8's target menu while Layla Hassan used it tracked the the Egyptian Order of the Ancients members as the Medjay Bayek of Siwa and his wife Aya of Alexandria hunted them in retaliation for the death of their son Khemu at the Order's hands.[3]
Bayek trekked across the vast Egyptian desert to corner Rudjek in the famous Bent Pyramid of Sneferu. Bayek's first kill, the death of Rudjek brought on Anubis's apparent curse on the natron mines.
One of the masked ones.
Most of the men Bayek is after are as yet nameless, but he has discovered the name of Medunamun. Installed as Oracle of Siwa by Ptolemy, Medunamun oversees the Temple of Amun. His true interest, however, appears to be the vault beneath the temple. He brutalizes the villagers in an effort to learn the vault's secrets.
Medunamun was installed as Oracle of Siwa by Ptolemy. He oversaw the Temple of Amun, but his true interest appeared to be the vault beneath the temple. He brutalized the villagers in an effort to learn the vault's secrets. Bayek killed him in a fury.
One of the masked ones.
Aya's first kill. While tracing the Order in Alexandria, Aya came across Actaeon and verified her suspicions when she discovered one of the masks in his apartments. He died a horrible death while wearing the mask. His role in the Order of Ancients is clear, his role in the death of Khemu however, is nebulous.
One of the masked ones.
He hunted down Aya, the killer of his friend Actaeon, in Alexandria. However, he met his end at her hands.
The Snake is one of the masked ones whose name was mentioned at the tragedy in Siwa.
Bayek has sought the identity of The Snake ever since that night in the temple. Although all the masked ones were guilty, it was The Snake who took Khemu's life. At last the murderer has come within Bayek's grasp.
Royal Scribe to Ptolemy, Eudoros was one of the puppet-masters of the pharaoh. He met his death in Alexandria's opulent bathhouse thanks to Bayek's newly acquired hidden blade, although he did manage to exact limited vengeance: the loss of Bayek's ring finger. But was Eudoros in fact The Snake?
The Scarab is using the great deserts of Egypt as their personal graveyard.
The mysterious Scarab haunts Sais, exacting cruel punishment upon any who cross his murky path. He keeps to the shadows so cleverly that some doubt his very existence.
Taharqa was the mythical Scarab who haunted Sais and Letopolis. A great man who caused terrible pain in pursuit of a quest to build monuments that would outlive him. In his darkest moments, Bayek understood Taharqa all too well. The man had to die for the blood on his hands, but Bayek prays he hasn't simply carried on the cycle of vengeance.
The Hyena oppresses Giza with the Order of Ancients.
In the Giza plateau, a member of the Order called the Hyena prowls the barren landscape. Stories of disappearances and deaths plague the community. With relics, tombs and other mysteries hidden beneath the sands, the merchants, scavengers and bandits who occupy the area are always at odds, yet they all share a common sentiment when it comes to the Hyena: Fear.
After her daughter's death, Khaliset became obsessed with trying to resurrect her. With the help of The Order, she discovered an ancient tomb that she believed to possess the power to restore life. Far removed from reality and relentless in her approach, The Hyena's actions harmed every soul in Giza.
The Lizard has crippled the great city of Memphis, where the Order of Ancients must not take root.
The Lizard's dark influence is felt throughout Memphis, extending to the health of the Apis bull and Pasherenptah's lack of an heir.
Hetepi's dark influence was felt throughout Memphis. Bayek chased him even through the realm of dreams. Hetepi was slain in Memphis's Great Temple, in sight of all the gods.
The Crocodile is part of the Order of Ancients, and works in the Faiyum oppressing the region.
A uniquely subtle operative of the Order of Ancients who uses manipulation, diplomacy, and legislative corruption to enact a totalitarian vision of peace and order across the Faiyum. The Crocodile ruthlessly enforces the Order's plan of control, all while hidden behind a cloak of anonymity.
Berenike was an elder Greek statesperson and member of the Order of Ancients. A subtle and highly intelligent woman, she cultivated a public image of graceful benevolence while secretly manipulating political and legislative processes to bring about her vision of an enlightened Egypt. Behind the scenes she used Ptolemy soldiers and arena gladiators to enforce a web of ruthless oppression across the Faiyum.
One of two names given by Cleopatra, the Jackal is one of the highest members of the Order of Ancients.
Strong, imposing and athletic, Septimius is the model of the Roman Legionary. Serving with Pompey during his war against the Pirates in 67 BCE, he was then stationed in Alexandria where he became enamored with his adopted country of Egypt. < >Now he and the Gabiniani are tasked with protecting the Royal Family.
Septimius was a loyal soldier in the Order of Ancients and was one of the conspirators who murdered Bayek's son Khemu. Bayek nearly killed the Gabianiani at the Battle of the Nile but was denied his revenge by Julius Caesar. After this betrayal and the terrible events at Siwa, Aya continues to hunt Septimius down, finally catching up with him in Rome. Septimius was unrepentant, believing that he did his duty to Rome and the order, and would be rewarded in the afterlife.
Cleopatra has found two more names, the Scorpion is one of the highest ranking members of the Order of Ancients.
Pothinus believes strongly that diplomacy and controlled acts of aggression will bring peace and prosperity to Egypt. He holds no ill will against Bayek and Aya, but he was among the masked ones that mortal day in Siwa.
Pothinus was among the more restrained members of the Order of Ancients. He favored use of brutality only in the most extreme situations, Nonetheless, he presided over the events that lead to Khemu's death and ultimate responsibility remains largely in his hands. He met Anubis after an unfortunate elephant ride.
The Lion is the head of the Roman Sphere of influence within the Order of Ancients.
Defined by his ruthless ambition, the proconsul of the province of Kyrenaika is a brutally efficient soldier with a distinguished military career. Which is why Julius Caesar's considers him one of most powerful allies. However, Flavius has his own agenda and is prepared to go to any lengths to cement his influence in Rome.
As a high-ranking member of the Order of Ancients Flavius was the murderer of Bayek and Aya's son Khemu. Consumed by madness and a bloodthirsty desire for power, he cut a bloody swath through the Roman province of Kyrenaika with the Oracle's Relic. When Bayek in turn took Flavius' life, the monster showed no remorse for the terrible things he had done. Cold and calculating to the end, he mocked Bayek and expounded the glory of Rome.
When Layla Hassan relived the memories of the misthios Kassandra on her upgraded Portable Animus HR-8.5,[4] its target menu was unique in that it kept track of multiple groups of individuals: Mercenaries tracked the mercenary rivals Kassandra defeated in life; Cultists, which broke down further to the Cult of Kosmos members, tracking the organization responsible for the disgrace of her family,[5] and the Persian sect of the Order of the Ancients, individuals who hunted her and her son Elpidios due to their dangerous bloodline;[6] and the The Fallen, that kept track of people of interest in Aletheia's simulation of the Underworld during her time exploring it.[7]
The legends around the mighty Eagle-Bearer from Kephallonia were many. Some said that she was a descendant of Spartan royalty. Others, that she was a goddess.
In our time, one misthios was feared above all. Forever present, forever undefeated, age would not dull his edge nor rust his hammer's head. Behind Exekias the legend was a trail of desolation and the eerie silence of death.
The adopted son of Nikolaos, Stentor always tried to impress his father and make him proud. After he tried to kill his sibling and failed, he left the Spartan army in disgrace. His life ruined, he pursued a life as a mercenary so he could one day seek his revenge.
Heart Condition
Sosipatros did what many other mercenaries tried to do: work for the most powerful man in the region. With Lagos as his employer, Sosipatros never had a shortage of contracts to complete.
This older mercenary claimed to be the Great Leonidas resurrected, but no one fell for this trap. Well, almost no one. Some impressionable fools gave him contracts solely because they believed him. Of course, when he succeeded, it only confirmed what they thought.
Shell Skin
Agis of the North was committed to pitting Athens and Sparta against each other so that his first love, Byzantion, could rise in the wake of their destruction.
Theos always looked for answers to difficult questions. What will come to pass? Who is in the right? How can all benefit? He said the solution was to look to the gods. Nobody else was worth asking.
Gaia the Fist was infamous for running at his intended target, ignoring any projectile weapons. He claimed he liked to see the look of despair in people's eyes as he charged, only gaining speed, until he reached them and ended their life.
Exadios took marks twice her size with the fearlessness of a charging bull. She left a trail of broken bodies in her wake.
Atos the Beast Caller wrote countless letters to his mother. It's said he tried sending one home to Syrakousai each night. After a while, he stopped sending the letters altogether. He wasn't sure they ever reached her, and since he was always on the move, he never received one back.
If something is best for the people, does it matter what has to be done? Hirpes the Sordid said it didn't. Of course, those he cheated or betrayed came to disagree upon learning of his deeds.
While many mercenaries cared not for how they looked or smelled, Aias felt he could prove mercenaries deserved as much respect or adoration as a polemarch. Always presentable, Aias did gain fans for a time… until they saw him do his work up close.
Kephalon the Thinker worked by honoring Skythia's traditional mercantile life, but after a bloody skirmish with armed bandits, he discovered this temperament was more suited for war.
Proktos the Moon King was a priest of Artemis until bandits ruined his temple. A lone survivor, he became embroiled in a lunar cult and pledged to bring suffering to all who would harm his beloved goddess.
Sergas was a charismatic bounty hunter who purred like his pet lynx. When possible, he liked to soothe his prey by purring in their ears before the final blow. He called this a beautiful death... Grr...
It appears Phelikles enjoyed distributing his hard-earned drachmae to those who didn’t have any. Some said it was because he wanted everyone to know he was rich. Others felt he was just helping those who couldn’t afford his kind of life. No matter the case, most believe his coin went to good use.
No one knows where Xanotos came from, but legends said he was from a cult in a country far, far away. Only one thing was for sure—he loved the color yellow.
Shahin first decided to journey through the lands to spy on war tactics. He found the land beautiful and decided to buy a house and settle down, but the ongoing war pulled him into the mercenary life to profit from the conflict.
Abandoned by her lover who claimed Athena made him vow to never fall in love, Polycaste had made her own vow. She would travel the Peloponnese and hunt the goddess - who was surely in disguise to trick her. In the meantime, however, she's taken her anger out on the unlucky who crossed her path.
"Always the sheep, never the wolf". This motto was carved into Abia's child mind by her military father. All her life, she was second to her sister—who was first in their father's heart. When he was killed in battle and the girls were orphaned, Abia set off on the road. No longer would she be second to her sister, and she would stop anyone in their tracks who tried to keep her from winning.
Most mercenaries like to pridefully tell the tales of their adventures—some more than they deserve to. Count Narkissos among these mercenaries, who deliver more speeches than deathblows. Still, he is known in at least half the ports of the Aegean Sea for good and bloody reasons.
"Retirement is for the dead", Nestor always said. He had waged more war and collected more bounties for longer than any other he knew, and would continue until his own motto came true.
It is said that you should never try to back Edonos into a corner. When under attack and threatened, he responds like a wild animal, resorting to a conduct unknown to civilized men everywhere. He bucks like a beast, and charges his adversary with the barbarity of a bull untamed.
Having been separated quite early in his life from his half-brother Testikles, his mood has been unstable ever since. He never felt as secure than with his own kin, so he deals with the separation by breaking things—including the bones of those who displease him.
Even as a child in her tiny village, Harpina was feared. Little boys who normally rough-housed for dominance wouldn't dare near the terrifying Harpina, whose quick fists could easily force their faces to meet the dirt. Instead, they curried her favor by bringing her trinkets and pretty rocks, which she happily collected.
Stories tell the tale of Iaeira and her record for having faced death more than any other mercenary. She has stood toe-to-toe with the afterlife more times than she can count, but is always able to pull herself away from the dreaded edge.
It is a true blow to the pride of Damais's foes when they lose against him - not because he is weak, but because he doesn't seem to care. As a strong, trained mercenary, it's unsure why Damais is in the trade. He will fight with his all, yes, but a victory is just a victory, and an unsatisfactory one at that.
With dark eyes as murky as deep, muddy waters, Astarte the Swamp submerges her enemies in pain. She starts with a blow to the head, and watches as the blood drains into her foe's gasping mouth. Then, they start to drown.
With her love of mathematics, Nanno's parents saw her future in an Athenian treasury as a banker. However, instead of counting drachmae, she counts her number of kills. She keeps track of them on her personal abacus as she travels across the Greek world.
The story of Okyllos is one steeped in uncertainties. The common thread is that when he came upon the body of a dead mercenary, Okyllos, an outcast, began his new life. He looted the man's armor, sheathed his sword in his own belt, and started anew. He fights in honor of the nameless mercenary who birthed his new identity.
Those who encounter Thaleia while she's wearing gloves can consider themselves lucky; underneath are nails as sharp and quick as the talons of a hawk. She keeps them pointed like tiny daggers. If she knows she's losing, she's known to throw her gloves to the ground and bare her claws.
Laches is a strong, but simple man. Since he has not been killed up until this point, he is convinced the gods have granted him immortality. Instead of earning a name, he named himself "Eternal", and dares others to prove him wrong.
If people were born for certain tasks, said Ariathate, he was born to win. Strongest in his training camp and champion in races, there were none who could best him - though, he maintains his humility by always taking on a challenger who dares try.
Perdix never had a place to call home. He never knew his mother, or his father, but he knew the winding roads he traveled like family. He learned to identify poisonous herbs, and how to build elaborate shelters. When he had to make a living, becoming a roving mercenary was a role he took to naturally.
Surrounded by carnage and war, all Aretus wanted was to heal people. In a world covered with blood, what people needed, Aretus believed, was help. After devoting his life to medical service, one of his patients betrayed him by trying to poison him. If that was the thanks he got, Aretus swore to never aide others again.
Okaleia had her start as a nefarious smuggler who traded contraband goods across the Aegean—a profitable career, until she sampled the sweetest forbidden fruit to cross her port. Some say the taste drove her to madness. Ever since, she's been obsessed with tracking down its mysterious origins, killing all who she believes keep it from her.
Many who see her have come to believe Auxesia was born in the darkest void—a sister to Nyx and Erebus; that is the only conceivable explanation for her acts of violence and vacant eyes.
Hygieia's sword moves as fluently as her shadow, and they are just as inextricably linked. It's impossible to find one without the other. It is said that Hygieia learned the craft of making swords so she would be the only one who had ever touched it—and that in her eyes makes it perfect. Try to take it from her, and suffer.
[NAME] the Smoldering was known for the hammer [sic] she kept. People said it was ever-burning, that its flame was fed by her victims, or that she pulled it, bare-knuckled, from the heart of a volcano. Many scoffed. She turned them into believers one burning strike at a time.
Aside from profiting from both sides of the war, Elpenor served Kosmos in one way—destroying the chosen's bloodline. He did, after all, find Deimos' sibling on the dusty roads of Kephallonia, and rumors quickly spread that he was the mastermind behind what happened to the Wolf in Megaris. For a time, it seemed he'd accounted for everything and was unstoppable.

Nature preserved Pactyas, chose him to be the Huntsman. So he became nature's defender. And few things offended nature more than the Tainted Ones.
They speak of a secret Persian organization known as the Order of the Ancients. Members of the Order in Makedonia are tasked with hunting down Tainted Ones with exceptional abilities, like Kassandra.

The one known as the Poisoner was eventually stopped from killing Perikles's closest friends and from sending Athens into chaos. But the fear he seeded there would follow him into Tartaros itself, unless someone rose to stop him.
The Cyclops of Kephallonia never forgot who sent him to meet Hades. Deep in the bowels of the underworld, he plotted revenge, so that when he saw the Eagle Bearer again, he'd be ready.
Few Olympians could be considered abject failures in life and in death, but Testikles was one.
Mercifully, the gods saw fit to liberate Boeotia from their "champion," the sadistic warrior known as Deianeira, and her equally wicked cousin, Astra. Upon her tomb was etched: "If Boeotia has no use for her cruelty, perhaps Hades will."
Epiktetos gained something on the night of his death, or so he thought. As his blood, and thoughts, and fears, sprayed from his head onto the artifact of Kosmos, he believed he absorbed its power and the power of Deimos, thus becoming immortal.
Those who cling too tightly to the past doom their own futures. So it was with Swordfish, who in Life, as in death, believed glory came through brute cruelty alone. This made him the perfect servant to Those Who Came Before.
It was said of the Monger, before his time in Korinth came to its bloody end, that he ruled the streets with a small mind and a firm grip. In this way, he was like most rulers of his time, or of any time, and when he was sent to Tartaros, he knew he would be among friends. Or so he thought.
In the Trojan War, no warrior brought more glory than the great Achilles, and none fell so spectacularly. When Apollo guided Paris's arrow, the pair denied Achilles his glory, condemning him to the underworld. Perhaps by being a Guardian of the gates, he could finally redeem himself.
Legends present men favorably when we allow the men to write their own legends. So it was with King Agamemnon, who is remembered as gallant, but in life was little more than a thug with a good blade. This would prove to make him a great Guardian of the underworld's gate.
Held up for his strength, if not his intelligence, Herakles was the most revered of ancient heroes. As the poison from his own arrows eroded his flesh, he tore the tallest trees from their roots and built his funeral pyre. What Hades inherited then was his greatest Guardian and truest defender. A perfect warrior to defend the gates.
Before Herakles, no hero was more beloved than Perseus, on whose back the Mycenaean empire was built. Together with his wife Andromeda, he ruled over a prosperous land until his death. Now he would rise again, not as ruler, but as a Guardian of Tartaros's gates.
A burly Norseman, Joy-Canker takes pride in his red beard. "It's dyed with the blood of my kills!" he likes to say.
He is a stalwart friend of The Vellum.
The unsmiling visage of Horsa, called Frown-Hoard, strikes icy fear into the souls of all who look upon it. With good reason.
Horsa is highly reliable and often serves The Lathe.
Tough northern winters and seasons of raiding hardened Kjotve as it hardened many young Norse, but Kjotve always took extra pleasure in his kills.
A passing trader saw the potential in Kjotve and inducted him into the Order, making the young vikingr Norway's first Order member. His natural cruelty served him well as he sought to bring his family and clan wholly into the Order's fold.
Palatinus Leofgifu, The Scabbard Leofgifu, known as The Scabbard, facilitates all of the Order's clandestine military activity in Grantebridgescire. She procures weapons and issues exceptional orders to select units. Orphaned by the plague, Leofgifu grew up as a bandit, and eventually sought work as a mercenary. The Order took notice, as she proved herself as an adept fighter, and soon recruited her to the cause. As a valued mercenary, Leofgifu quickly insinuated herself into a position of command by distributing luxury goods and favors to fellow officers. In turn, these officers turn a blind eye to what they believe to be simple contraband but is in fact an amassing of powerful weapons meant for the Order.
Note from Hytham
}}
Palatinus Hunta, The Baldric
Hunta, a gregarious drengr from Norway, fancies himself a bit of a skald. His impromptu poems endear him to Norse and Saxon alike, a quality that brought him to the attention of The Order, and he soon joined their ranks.
Recently, he has, in fact, married into a prosperous Saxon family whose members hold both military and financial clout. Hunta has begun using this familial power to grant small favors as a means of bring as many foot soldiers as he can under his influence.
He is a successful recruiter for the Order of Ancients and holds the rank of Palatinus.Note from Hytham

Preost Frideswid, The Leech When Frideswid was a girl, she watched her sister fall off a horse and break her spine. She could see that while her sister's soul and mind were very much intact, her body was broken.

Palatinus Avgos, The Arrow Avgos Spearhand, or The Arrow, mastered projectiles at a young age. While his village was peaceful, his heroes were warriors. He ran away to go a-viking with The Great Heathen Army, and rose through its ranks... yet never high enough for his aspirations. He joined The Order on the offer of a power not even Odin could give.

Palatinus Vicelin, The Compass Swim, or be swept away. Vicelin was a career sailor, the kind of man pledged to king and country. The offer of The Order came at a soiree where he was given the kind of stability that the warring Francian could not challenge. Gold, power, and all the ships he so desired.

Maegester Gorm, The Keel Gorm grew up under the heel and shadow of Kjotve the Cruel. His father passed down the rigor of The Order and taught Gorm the lessons of a harsh love: pain, humiliation, endurance. With the loss of his father, Gorm taught himself pitiless hatred.

Preost Eanbhert, The Vellum Eanbhert is a meticulous man, careful about all he undertakes and rigorous about his work. Trained as a scribe, he came into possession of some remarkable documents indicating that a secret order existed among his countrymen. He sought them out and was soon brought into The Order himself. His precision has served him well—he soon rose to the rank of Preost and is given the most difficult assignments and scrupulously executes them.

Palatinus Tata, The Dart Tata claims he sprang from the soil of Mercia, such is his love for the land. All his youth, he rode the vales of Sciropescire, Oxenefordscire, and Ledecestrescire. His grandfather had fought for old King Offa, and the tales have been passed down. A wise, thoughtful man, Tata learned all he could of Offa, including the fact that the old king had been in the Order. Therefore, Tata himself sought entry and quickly rose to the rank of Palatinus. He is a stable master and took the name of The Dart as befits his penetrating wisdom.

Palatinus Gunilla, The Adze Gunilla grew up a dutiful daughter. She worked helping to build ships with her uncles and cousins. Waves of pestilence brought chaos and devastation to her family, and she yearned for a more orderly world. A passing noblewoman introduced her to the tenets of the Order, and Gunilla was soon apprenticed. Now she oversees shipbuilding and naval operations as The Adze.

Preost Ingeborg, The Firebrand An angry priest once scrubbed young Ingeborg's tongue with soap for spewing "heresies and lies". That day, Ingeborg learned that knowledge was power, controlled by the Church. She then rose through the Church hierarchy, but the Order offered her even more knowledge and thus more power.

Palatinus Grigorii, The Needle Growing up among sewer rats, Grigorii envied those who never had to fight for their meals. Then one day, The Vault rescued him from the gutter, bringing him into the Order and giving him a purpose. Loyal and devoted ever since, Grigorii's life work is to see The Vault's plans fulfilled and the Order's goals achieved.

Preost Audun, The Vault After Audun's raiding days ended, he chose to live out his later years as a wealthy, important man in the town of Jorvik. Honored by Halfdan himself, he accepted a thane's ring after the sacking of Jorvik. But when the Order tempted him with even wealth and power, who was he to refuse?

Maegester Derby, The Vice Derby came late into The Order, having already secured the position of reeve in the city of his birth. Enforcing rules was his joy and pleasure. He saw attaining the rank of Maegester in The Order as a way to enforce rules with even more severity, thereby increasing his pleasure all the more.

Palatinus Havelok, The Billhook Havelok came to Lincolnscire as a young man with the Great Heathen Army. A member of the Order recognized Havelok's quick and ruthless intelligence, and introduced him to the Crozier. As apprentice to The Crozier, Havelok gained stature and experience. He now is an established landholder and farmer in Lincoln from where he bribes the shire soldiers to do his bidding.

Palatinus Patrick, The Anvil At a young age, Patrick proved his worth to the Order by fashioning well-tempered blades at his father's smithy. When Patrick grew to adulthood, he was brought into the Order as a master blacksmith. A proud man descended from Lords of Hwicce, Patrick fashions weapons for the Order to the specifications of each member and is much esteemed by them. However, Patrick has grown resentful of following the Order's commands and has become obsessed with the notion of escaping with his wife and children across the sea. He has had this dream for years, however, and somehow never brings himself to actually leave.

Preost Mucel, The Lathe Mucel was brought into the Order by his colleague, The Anvil, who plucked him away from service of the young Æthelred. The Order values his great expertise in ship-building and in fashioning wooden implements of torture.

Palatinus Gifle, The Ash-Spear Gifle made an odd fit in The Order. He never cared much for hierarchy and rules; however, he found that by doing The Order's work, he earned himself enormous freedom—freedom to indulge in mead and debauchery, but freedom nonetheless. Thanks to his fearless combat and shrewd judgment, he attained the rank of Palatinus, whereupon he began to forge links with various groups of bandits and bend them to The Order's will.

Preost Herefrith, The Crozier
The Crozier was approached by a member of the Order when he was only a young church-goer.
He found purpose in spreading their message throughout Wessex before reaching the rank of Preost, at which point he returned to his home of Lincolnscire, a land absent of authority and direction.
There, he took advantage of a fragile political hierarchy and gained power over the disenfranchised, using them to fulfill the Order's agenda.
Maegester Tatfrid, The Lyre Tatfrid joined the Order almost by accident. A Saxon who fought with the Norse, he led a successful raid in Wessex, during which he spared the liife of three prisoners. One of those was The Crozier, who soon recruited Tatfrid for his fighting skills and absolute determination. By dint of effort and will, the Lyre recently rose to the rank of Maegester.

Preost Yohanes, The Oil Yohanes took the cloth to bring respectability to his family name. However, in the Church, he took the lessons of hierarchy and discipline seriously, leading him to join the Order. His method was to worm his way into contact with influential people, dispatch them, and install his family members into their vacant positions.

Palatinus Heika, The Sickle Heika grew up in the ports of Friesland, where she became quite knowledgeable about the poisonous qualities of the weever fish. Later, as Order member The Sickle, she began to use this knowledge in the bakery, spicing her breads with fish scales for those whom The Order prefers dead.

Palatinus Beneseck, The Bell Early in Beneseck's life, The Rake took him in. His delight in murder was clear, but to serve the Order, his will had to be broken. The Rake's method was to inflict upon him day and night the loud, incessant clang of a bell. It became the signal to trigger his primal, murderous instincts. The Bell grew to be particularly adept at filling The Order's coffers with silver. He presented himself as a man of charity. In this way, he met wealthy donors who supported the monastery. Once met, it was easy enough to visit them, murder them, rob them, and bury them anonymously in the abbey's graveyard.

Preost Hilda, The Quill The Church is no place for a woman of intelligence. This was a lesson Hilda learned early on in life. Orphaned at six years old, she found shelter in a monastery. But while the young male initiates spent days at study and prayer, she was banished to the kitchen. She began listening in doorways, hiding in shadows, and blackmailing monks with the secrets she learned, asking only that they teach her things of importance: Reading. Writing. Latin. In the Church, her voracious intelligence was her undoing. In the Order, it was a revelation. Bishop Ealhferth saw value not only in her sharp wit, but her ruthlessness. She quickly built a network of children like herself, quick and sharp. Small hands quick to steal, small ears quick to listen. No secret in Wincestre is safe from The Quill's army of little spies.

Palatinus Selwyn, The Gallows Selwyn came from a rich family where he was used to lording it over servants and serfs alike. He did not take kindly to his father's drinking, gambling, womanizing, and dissipating the family fortune. He views his lineage with shame and distaste. He had to drag himself up from the filth and shed the moral decrepitude that results in giving the weak freedom. The Order gave him control. Determined to save people from themselves. He set about to enforce the law, enact judgment, and rid the world of human effluence.

Preost Ealhferth, The Seax Ealhferth was born into a poor but devout family of Christian settlers in the northern wilds. Devoted to his mother, he followed her everywhere. She, in turn, would hold him close and whisper wondrous stories of God's everlasting love and kindness. This made her murder at the hands of the pagan Norse raiders all the more difficult for Ealhferth to bear. From that day, The Seax was at war with God. But only with the Order did he find sweet revenge. He posed as God's mouthpiece in Wincestre, controlling lords and peasants from the pulpit.

Maegester Fulke, The Instrument
Born to a fishwife in Bruges, Fulke grew up in a colorful environment quickened by far-reaching trade. Fulke drank in the tales of merchants from as far away as the Baltic Sea and longed for a life of adventure. She taught herself to read and absorbed any text she came across, leading to a curious mixture of beliefs and certainties.
She discovered references to Isu artifacts and pursued these with a passion, bringing her into the orbit of The Order. Despite her odd beliefs, her talents were recognized, and she soon rose from the rank of Palatinus to Maegester, though she retained the honorific "Paladin" for purposes known only to her.

Grand Maegester Aelfred, The Father Young Aelfred was just twenty-two years old when the title of The Father passed to him from his brother Æthelred, conferring a great responsibility which their father had introduced to the family. A devout Christian since his youth, Aelfred rankled at the heathenish beliefs of the order he now commanded and concocted a grand plan that would rid him of that responsibility once and for all.

High Druid Cummascach, The Ash In his youth, Cummascach dreamed that if the fogs of Connacht grew thick enough, he could disappear into them and become a ghost. As a ghost, he reasoned, he would be able to hide from his cruel brothers and their sadistic games. On one occasion, he fled into the fog's mists to evade those brothers. He stumbled upon an elderly druid who was able to conjure fog from boiling vats. The druid befriended Cummasach and taught him the ways of the druids and the elements. Cummasach experimented with the druid's fog, pushing what it could do to extremes. Eventually, he used his fog to drive his brothers to madness. Now, as High Druid, he makes certain that the Children of Danu have fog powerful enough to maintain their secrecy.

High Druid Leasleach, The Whisper
Leasleach considers herself a daughter of The Morrigan, the ancient goddess of death and disease.
She spend her time searching the bogs of Meath for mummified bodies that sometimes yield to her prodding. She believes she murdered them in a previous life and left them for discovery.
The bodies exude oozy swamp water which Leasleach uses for her poisons. She is thus invaluable to the Children of Danu.

She immersed herself in the study of poisonous plants and found that their potency appeared to increase if they were anointed by sacrificial blood. She has been very effective at ridding the Children of enemies and continues to expand her understanding of lethal poisons. Due to this knowledge, she is one of the most revered members of the Children of Danu.

High Druid Trian, The Mist Raised in pagan traditions, Trian had an intense, perhaps unhealthy, fascination with the god Crom Cruach, perhaps the most blood-thirsty of the pagan gods. In his obsession, Trian came to carving dozens of small effigies of Crom. Now, after being accepted as one of the Children, he uses these effigies as lures for acolytes. Fervent chanting and a bloody offering work wonders on the imaginations of many.

Lord Ruaidrí, The Deer Ruaidrí always felt the Children of Danu were too reliant on portents and prayers. He believed that the earth spirits most approve of direct action. His method therefore became "Get what you need by whatever means necessary and thank the spirits afterwards". His direct and effective style was rewarded by the Children, and he now overseas the accumulation of resources meant for the final conflict.

Lord Conlae, The Blaze When a young boy, Conlae reacted badly to being disciplined by his parents, and severed ties by nailing their cottage door shut and burning it to the ground. He celebrated his freedom by joining a group of forest pagans, where, enamored by the flames of the ritual fires, he practiced the ways of the fire druids. Never completely convinced by the tenets of the Children of Danu, Conlae nevertheless joined in their action simply because he loves to set anything to flames.

Lady Niamh, The Wren As a child, the silent Wren was assumed to be unable to speak. In fact, she was listening. When she began to voice sounds, they were strangely mellifluous and compelling. Her sister claimed Niamh could speak with animals. What is certain is that when she did master language, she was amazingly persuasive, even mesmerizing. She went on to become a poet. The Children of Danu took her into their group. As their principal persuader, she has brought many people under the sway of the Children.

Lady Aideen, The Spider. Aideen's family died violently during the burning of Dublin. She grew up cadging apples and stealing bits of cloth that she sewed into patchwork shifts. By dint of hard work, she made a living, and then more. She knew every rumor and transaction made in Dublin's port and market, and wanted part of it. She discovered that threats could be effective in difficult negotiations, but only if they were believable. Torture became a favorite bargaining method. Aideen cultivated powerful friends and found that the Danu were willing to help. It did not take much for her to sign on wholeheartedly.

Lord Bécc mac Nath-í, The Seed Bécc grew up in the harbor town of Doon Fort where he was taught that the tides, swales, and sea-winds were, in fact, spirits and, as such, could be sacrificed to and placated. He proved adept at coming to terms with the sea's moody nature, and soon travelled great distances by sea. When the Children of Danu came calling, he rose quickly as both a procurer of weapons from distant lands and as a disciplinarian to the acolytes. He is both feared and respected.

Ollamh Druid Eogan mac Cartaigh, The Oak The youngest boy of a large family, Eogan was destined for a life in the Church at birth. He dutifully fasted, prayed, and learned to read his scriptures. Deep within, however, he resented every moment. In his youth, while exploring a wooded area near his village, he came across a druid ritual in progress. He found the earthiness of the ritual deeply compelling, much more so than that of the bread and wine. He realized that by rising to a position of power in the Church (while keeping his druidic life secret) he could work from within to bring down the new religion in favor of his ancient one. He established The Children of Danu, dedicated to the earliest and most brutal form of paganism as a means to destroy the threat to their beliefs.

Called Investigation, this iteration of the target menu tracked more than just main targets of the Baghdad sect of the Order of the Ancients but also locations of interest, incidental targets, and tangential persons of interest.[8]
Called simply Objective Board, this target menu could perform the same functions as the one in the Basim session, but for targets and locations throughout Sengoku period Japan.[9]
Datamined files from the 2017 video game Assassin's Creed: Origins reveal two texts for Gaius Julius Caesar, implying that he was planned to appear in the target menu. The texts read as follows:
A charismatic and bold man, Caesar has risen up the ranks of the Republic and crossed the Rubicon to be the foremost politician in Rome. Beloved by both his inner circle and the people of the eternal city, Gaius Julius is a born leader and strong orator, as adept at politics as he is at military strategy. However, when he arrives in Alexandria, he is quickly seduced by Egypt and her young queen.
After the events at Siwa, the Staff of Alexander was placed into the eager hands of Julius Caesar. But with Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus dead and Caesar's growing influence and power wining hearts and minds, those less enamored of the dictator took action. With the Liberatores Cassius and Brutus, Aya came to Rome and the newly formed Creed had its first target. On the Ides of March, Aya assassinated Caesar in the Senate, little knowing an Empire would arise from his ashes.
Additionally, the files include icons for the four assassination targets from Origins' 2018 downloadable expansion The Hidden Ones as well as Gamilat, implying they were meant to be in a cut target menu and also suggesting that Gamilat may have initially been planned to be an Order member.
