Cain in the Bible

Cain and Abel, according to the Bible, were the first two sons of Adam and Eve (Cain being the eldest). According to the Bible, Abel had pleased God with his sacrificial offering while Cain had not. The bible than states a cursed mark was placed upon Cain, known as the "Mark of Cain". How long ago these events occurred is unknown, though if the Bible is to be believed, he and Abel were the sons of Adam and Eve, placing the event of Abel's murder a generation after Adam and Eve.


Cain in Assassins Creed II

In Assassins Creed though, Cain's story is different. Instead of Cain killing Abel because God was pleased with Abel and not Cain, Cain actually killed Abel to steal his Piece of Eden. The mark Cain was given for killing Abel was then used to create the Templars and collect more Pieces of Eden. Subject 16 also references quotes the from the Mormon and Latter Day Saints movement's "Pearl of Great Price" scultpure. The semi hidden message "Templar texts adapted by Mr. Smith" written in Morse code in a glyph sequence, implying that the Mormon or LDS version of Cain and Abel is more accurate, or at the very least least, an accurate reflection of the Templars version of events. The relativity unique title of "Master Mahan" is mentioned as the title Cain gave himself. The meaning of the term is unclear, and it does not seem to occur in other versions of the story.
