Cain and Abel.

Cain was the first of Adam and Eve's two sons. He was thought to have murdered his younger brother Abel out of jealousy. It was later discovered that Cain had killed Abel, in order to steal a Piece of Eden he had held.

Cain became the founder of the Templar Order, and Clay Kaczmarek would later refer to the Templar Cross as the "Mark of Cain."

Biography

Cain was the firstborn of Adam and Eve, two human descendants of the First Civilization. Cain killed Abel to steal the Apple of Eden in his possession, committing the first homicide in recorded human history.

Cain's mark, which he was given for killing Abel, became the symbol of the Templars; a cross that they worked under to collect more Pieces of Eden.

Subject 16, Clay Kaczmarek, spoke of Cain in one of the Glyphs he had hidden within the Animus programming. There, he told of Cain's killing of Abel, through quotes from the "Pearl of Great Price" scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Trivia

  • The Morse code message in Cain's Glyph translates to "Templar texts adapted by Mr. Smith". Mr. Smith likely alludes to Joseph Smith, the 19th-century preacher who founded the LDS Church.
  • The relatively unique title of "Master Mahan" (which Cain bestowed on himself for being the master of the great secret) is used within the LDS Church.
