The Buckingham Palace vault is a hidden structure beneath Buckingham Palace in London, England that housed one of the Shrouds of Eden, a Piece of Eden capable of cellular regeneration and biological restoration.
History
At some point in the early 18th century, the British Asassin Edward Kenway found the Shroud and elected to hide it within the Tower of London in order to conceal it from the British Templars, who were slowly gaining control over London.[1]
In 1847, Queen Victoria's husband, the Prince Consort Albert, discovered the Shroud and had it moved to a specially built crypt beneath the gardens of Buckingham Palace.[2] There, the artifact remained hidden until 1868, when the Templar Grand Master Crawford Starrick sought to obtain its location with the help of the occultist Lucy Thorne.[3]
The Assassins Henry Green and Evie Frye also endeavored to find the location of the artifact, finding clues in the Kenway Mansion that allowed the Assassins to locate the key to the vault, hidden in St. Paul's Cathedral.[4] While the clues led only to the Shroud's original resting place in the Tower of London,[1] the Assassins were able to discern from documentation gathered that Prince Consort Albert had previously found and moved the Shroud to Buckingham Palace.[2]
After dismantling Starrick's organization, Evie and her twin brother Jacob Frye attended a ball at Buckingham Palace, where Starrick planned to kill Queen Victoria and the the other heads of state and church. Starrick stole the key from Evie, and used it to open the container holding the Shroud. After a long battle between Starrick and the Frye twins, the Assassins managed to kill the Grand Master, though only after removing the Shroud from his body, and chose to leave the artifact in the crypt.[3]
In October 2015, the Assassins and Abstergo Industries located the crypt through the genetic memories of the Frye twins and infiltrated it to obtain the Shroud. During a fight between the Assassins and the Templars, Rebecca Crane was wounded and the Assassins were forced to flee, allowing the Templars to take the Shroud, although the Inner Sanctum member Isabelle Ardant was killed by Shaun Hastings.[5]
Behind the scenes
While the vault was reportedly constructed on the order of Prince Consort Albert around 1847, it would appear it was unknowingly built atop the ruins of an ancient Isu temple due to the presence of Precursor architecture and technology, as well as statues of Juno. Concept art of the vault also indicates that it was originally intended to be an Isu temple.
