History
Search for Vejovis' dagger
In the 5th century BCE, a group of Order of the Ancients members led by Ianthe sought to retrieve an Isu dagger once wielded by the Isu Vejovis, which was rumored to be located in a vault hidden within a tomb in Kephallonia. Unable to access the tomb, Ianthe hired Markos and the mercenary Cadmus to retrieve the treasure from the vault, only to betray them once Cadmus found the dagger.[1]
Surrounding the mercenary alongside his fellow masked Order members, Ianthe took the artifact and trapped Cadmus inside the vault, but the latter managed to escape and pursued the Ancients to a nearby town. After Cadmus killed Ianthe and retrieved the dagger, most of the Ancients scattered, but two of them stayed behind to fight the mercenary.[1]
As Cadmus defended himself with the dagger, the blade broke in two and one half landed in the face of one of the Order members, killing them. The remaining Ancient retrieved the blade from his fallen comrade's face and fled with it, while Cadmus kept the other half of the dagger and decided to hide it.[1]
Assisting Alexander the Great
In the 4th century BCE, the Ancients allied themselves with King Alexander III of Macedonia, better known as Alexander the Great. As a symbol of their alliance, the Order entrusted Alexander with two Pieces of Eden: a Staff and the Trident.[2][3] These artifacts helped Alexander to create one of the largest empires in history and become an undefeated military commander.[2][4]
However, on 13 June 323 BCE, Alexander was poisoned inside the palace of Nebuchadnezzar II by Iltani, a member of a secret Babylonian group opposing his rule. After Alexander's death, his empire began to crumble.[5]
Renaissance
In 1511, the Templar leaders in Athens paid Ottoman soldiers handsomely for looted goods. In response, the Assassin Mentor Ezio Auditore sent some Ottoman Assassins from Constantinople to Athens in order to eliminate them. That same year, the Assassins discovered that the Templars from Rhodes were issuing commands to the Templars in Tripoli and subsequently cut off their supply and communication lines.[6]
Seven Years' War
During the Seven Years' War, the Colonial Templar Shay Cormac sent several agents from his fleet to the island of Crete, which had been used by the Templar Order as a headquarters many times across the centuries, to depart for nearby kingdoms. During their stay on the island, the agents recovered a Cretan Mosaic of the Minoan civilization.[7]
