During the 15th century, it came into the possession of the Sultan of the [[Emirate of Granada]], [[Muhammad XII of Granada|Muhammad XII]], though it did not help him win his [[Granada War|conflict]] against the Christian kingdoms of [[Spain|Iberia]], Castile and Aragon. When the [[Spanish Inquisition]] under the command of Grand Inquisitor [[Tomás de Torquemada]], a leading [[Templar]], caught wind of Muhammad XII's treasure, they abducted his son to used as ransom for the artifact, only to be promptly deprived of it by the intervention of the [[Assassins]] [[Aguilar de Nerha]] and [[Maria (Assassin)|Maria]]. From Aguilar, the Apple was in turn transferred to the Italian explorer [[Christopher Columbus]] for safekeeping, and the man who would go on to expose the existence of the [[Americas]] to all of [[Europe]] would retain it until his death, bringing it to his grave.

==History==
The first known human to possess the Apple was Muhammad XII of [[Granada]]. In 1492, The Templars kidnapped the young prince [[Ahmed of Granada|Ahmed]] in order to obtain the Apple. An exchange between the monarch and Torquemada was offered, his son for the Apple. Muhammad XII of Granada accepted the Templars' exchange.
After [[Tomás de Torquemada]] possessed the Apple, the pair of assassin's attacked. As [[Aguilar de Nerha|Aguilar]] held his blade on Torquemada's throat, he discovered that [[Ojeda]] had his own on Maria's. A standoff ensued that resulted in the death of Maria. After the assassination of Ojeda, Aguilar escaped from Torquemada and his men with the Apple. Aguilar gave the Apple to Assassin ally [[Christopher Columbus]], who took it out of the Templars reach as he set sail for the New World. Columbus kept the Apple until his death, at which the Piece of Eden accompanied his remains back to Spain where they were buried.
In 2016, the Apple was found by the Templars after they used [[Callum Lynch]] to relive Aguilar's memories. After the Assassins broke out of the Templar facility, they set out to recover the artifact. [[Alan Rikkin]] went to [[Grand Templar Hall|the sanctuary]] in [[London]] to speak to the [[Council of Elders]], to whom he unveiled the Apple of Eden. [[Callum Lynch]] blended in with the crowd of attendants to quietly sneak up to Alan Rikkin and assassinate him with his [[Hidden Blade]]. Callum then took the Apple back and made his escape.

Aguilar's Apple of Eden is an Apple of Eden, an ancient piece of technology created by the Isu, primarily to control humankind, their workforce.

History

The first known human to possess this Apple was the Sultan of the Emirate of GranadaMuhammad XII during the 15th century, though it did not help him win his conflict against the Christian kingdoms of Iberia, Castile and Aragon. In 1492, the Templars, led by the Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemadaof the Spanish Inquisition kidnapped the young prince Ahmed. They tried to ransom Ahmed for the artifact, and Muhammad XII of Granada accepted the offer. However, before the exchange could take place, the Assassins Aguilar de Nerha and Maria intervened. This ultimately led to the death of Maria and Ojeda, Torquemada's aid, and Aguilar seizing the artifact. Aguilar in turn gave the Apple to the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus for safekeeping, and the man who would go on to expose the existence of the Americas to all of Europe would retain it until his death, bringing it to his grave.[1]

In October 2016, the Apple was among the many Pieces of Eden sought by the Templars. They hoped that this particular Apple could provide the means to suppress humanity's violent tendencies, eliminate the free will of humanity altogether, and finally eradicate the last of the Assassin Brotherhood with the end of the Creed itself. To this end, the Templars under their guise of Abstergo Industries captured several descendants of different Assassins, among them Callum Lynch, and used them to relive their ancestors' memories.[1]

Though Alan Rikkin, CEO of Abstergo Industries and a member of the Templar Inner Sanctum successfully recovered the Apple from Columbus's tomb at the Seville Cathedral, Callum Lynch and others at the facility managed to break out.[1]

Callum then hunted down Rikkin, reaching him in London, where Rikkin was presenting the Apple to the Council of Elders at the Holborn Hall. Callum used the skills he'd learned via the Bleeding Effect to sneak up on the Grand Master, and assassinated him with the Hidden Blade, reclaiming the Apple for the Assassins.

Description

The Apple of Eden that came into Aguilar de Nerha's possession is a small, metallic sphere encased within a large protective shell that in proper light resembles amber and is semi-transparent.

Trivia
