Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St. Alban (1561 – 1626) was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist, orator, essayist, and author. The Templars used and influenced his works, such as New Atlantis, to make science and rationalism flourish in society, in order to advance their Order's goals.[1]
Legacy
In 2011, participants in Abstergo Industries' new Animi Training Program could access a number of file dossiers curated by the company, one of which indicated that the Templars had influenced Bacon and his work for their own ends.[1] The next year, the Assassin historian Shaun Hastings wrote a database entry on Oak Island for the Animus 3.0 and observed that conspiracy theorists held that Bacon had used the pirate William Kidd's "Money Pit" to store the original documents proving that he wrote the works of William Shakespeare, a notion which Shaun dismissed as foolish.[2]
Appearances
