==Biography==
==Biography==
Juno was involved in the development of the Six Solutions designed to counteract the impending solar flares that would soon envelope the Earth alongside [[Minerva]] and [[Jupiter]]. Unfortunately, although close to a breakthrough, none of the Solutions worked and the planet was burned and scorched. It is unknown whether Juno was one of the First Civilization members who perished in this event or not. At some point before or prior to this event, she recorded various messages to be played in the future by those who were predicted to succeed where she could not.

Juno first appeared to Clay Kaczmarek whilst he was suffering the experience of memories whilst outside the [[Animus]]. She claimed to be able to show him the way and was able to show Clay glimpses of his inevitable fate, before urging him to help [[Desmond Miles]]. Although he refused, she knew that the promise of her message would eventually be fulfilled once his eyes were opened to the truth. Showing him [[Lucy Stillman]]'s true allegiance, he eventually agreed as Juno told him to make sure that [[Templars|"they"]] suffered as her people had long ago.

Biography

Gathering of Knowledge

"Each vault's knowledge was transmitted to a single place. It was our duty - mine, Minerva's, and Juno's - to sort and sample all that was collected."
―Jupiter.[src]

During the rage of the Human-First Civilization War, Juno was among those who avoided the fighting.[1]

Along with Jupiter and Minerva, she built several Temples underground, safe from the war, in which to research methods of salvation from the impending catastrophe. The findings of each vault were sent to a single location, the Grand Temple.[1]

Juno remained in the Grand Temple with Jupiter and Minerva to sort through the possible solutions, and test those they found promising. They tested six in succession, finding each progressively more promising, however, they were too late, and the catastrophe struck, killing nearly all of the First Civilization, and humankind.[1]

Enlisting Aid

"Thousands of years this message waited. Soon its promise shall be fulfilled. Go forth, with eyes open to all but the truth."
―Juno speaking with Clay.[src]

After experiencing long sessions in the Animus, Clay Kaczmarek began suffering from the Bleeding effect, and becoming confused with the division of his genetic memories from his actual ones.[2]

Around this time, Juno approached him, introducing herself and telling Clay she had "come to show [him] the way." Some time after, Clay claimed to be able to see "what has been, what will be."[2]

Juno acknowledged him, saying that what he needed to do was clear, and that he should help Desmond Miles. Clay blatantly refused, but Juno only said that her message had waited thousands of years, and its promise would be fulfilled.[2]

When Clay's eyes were opened to the truth of Lucy Stillman's allegiance to the Templars, he consented to Juno's request,[2] and went on to aid Desmond while he was trapped in the Black Room.[1] After Clay agreed to help, Juno spoke gravely that "They must suffer as we suffered."[2]

Balancing the Scales

"A hundred years I might speak and still you would not know us. You with five senses. Us with six. The one we kept from you. To be safe. Now, you can never know. Only try."
―Juno to Desmond.[src]
Juno appearing before Desmond.

Juno appeared four times as a holographic form to Desmond Miles, a modern day Assassin, as he passed through the Santa Maria Aracoeli, in search of the vault hidden within it. However, none of the others who had accompanied Desmond could see or hear her.[3]

Juno spoke to him of the vaults and her people, and elaborated on the warning Minerva had previously relayed to Ezio Auditore da Firenze in 1499, though her tone was noticeably more hostile towards humanity. Calling man ignorant, Juno spoke of the blending of the bloodlines of human and First Civilization - a line from which Desmond descended - and angrily regretted that they should have left man as they were.[3]

When Desmond, Lucy Stillman, Shaun Hastings, and Rebecca Crane reached the Apple of Eden within the vault, Juno spoke to Desmond a final time. Saying that the "final journey" had commenced, she told him of a woman who would accompany him, but first, the path needed to be opened, and the scales balanced.[3]

With that, Juno forcefully took control of Desmond, causing him to stab Lucy with his Hidden Blade.[3]
