The Fall of the Assassin Order was an event in the year 2000 that nearly caused the ultimate downfall of the Assassin Order. Caused by the mysterious Daniel Cross, the event would have an impact on the later generations of Assassins, as they were forced to operate in small teams gathered throughout the world rather than as a worldwide organization.
Cross' abduction
In September 1985,[1] a young American boy was abducted by the Lineage Discovery and Acquisition division of Abstergo Industries,[2] and became a test subject known as Subject 4; later codenamed Daniel Cross.[3] Using a working prototype capable of mimicking a Piece of Eden,[1] a subliminal impulse was implemented into Subject 4's brain that would force him to subconciously infiltrate the Assassin Order and kill the Order's Mentor once the opportunity to do so would arise.[3]
Once Abstergo was finished experimenting, Daniel Cross was sent into the outside world in his underwear. He was picked up by a man named Luke and his partner, who noticed the young boy while driving in their truck. After the woman called out to Daniel, he only replied in Russian;[4] after having been experimented upon, Cross had been suffering from the bleeding effect and was reliving the memories of his Russian ancestor, the Assassin Nikolai Orelov.[2]
Assassination of the Mentor
After two years of training his mind and body, and of searching for the Mentor, Daniel was brought to Dubai where he finally met him. The Mentor told him that he had heard of Daniel's visions, and believed that he would be of very unique value. He also implied that he would choose Daniel as his successor. He then presented Daniel his Hidden Blade, telling him that he had "earned it" and fully initiated him into the Assassin Order.
As soon as he put it on, Daniel felt as if he was made to wear and use it. Suddenly, Daniel recalled his memories from Abstergo, being experimented upon by Warren Vidic, having the impulse to kill the Mentor buried so deep within him that he hadn't realized it until the time had come, of Bellamy and Hannah telling him to unleash whatever was inside of him and of being given a new name; Daniel Cross.
Acting on the impulse, Daniel assassinated the Mentor.
The Fall
Subsequently following the assassination of the Mentor, Daniel returned to Abstergo's Research Facility in Philadelphia. With the information retrieved from Daniel, who had visited every single Assassin training camp in the world, Abstergo mobilized tactical teams to initiate strikes on Assassin compounds globally. This forced the Assassins to evacuate their respective bases and go into hiding.
