The Precursor box is an ancient artifact created by the First Civilization, capable of interpreting and translating First Civilization language, most notably the script written in the Voynich manuscript.
History
By 1524, the Precursor box was in the possession of the Italian Assassin Mentor Ezio Auditore da Firenze, in his villa in Tuscany. The Chinese Assassin, Shao Jun, who had travelled there for his advice, was given the box and told that it would aid her. Ezio stated that she should only open it if she were to lose her way.
By 1735 Precursor box ended up in the wreckage of a French galleon which was sunk by the Assassin Adewale. It was contained within a package meant for Bastienne Josèphe. In 1737 he delivered it to her in Port-au-Prince where it remained there for 14 years.
By 1751, both the Precursor box and the manuscript were in the possession of François Mackandal, Mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood in Saint-Domingue. Using the artifacts, Mackandal discovered the existence of a First Civilization temple near Port-au-Prince and sent his subordinate Vendredi to investigate it. Unbeknownst to Mackandal, the temple was part of a system that held the Earth together.
Vendredi activated its defense mechanism, causing an earthquake that destroyed Port-au-Prince and its surrounding regions. After the earthquake, Master Templar Lawrence Washington stole the Precursor box and manuscript from Mackandal's camp and took the artifacts with him to Virginia, where the Templars studied the artifacts.
Shay Cormac, a member of the Colonial Assassins, assassinated Lawrence Washington in search of the box in 1752, but it was already in the possession of the Templar Samuel Smith. In 1754, Shay had managed to track Smith down and sunk his schooner, with the help of fellow Assassin Chevalier de la Vérendrye. He took the Precursor box and delivered it to Benjamin Franklin, with the hope that he would manage to power it. With Shay and Hope Jensen's assistance, Franklin used electricity to power the box, which projected a view of the Earth, a shining light over Lisbon. The box was given to Colonial mentor Achilles Davenport, who kept the box in his Homestead.
In 1776, Shay Cormac, now a Templar dedicated to stealing the Precursor box back from the Assassins, tracked it down to the palace of Versailles, France, where it was in the possession of the Assassin Charles Dorian. After sneaking into the castle, Shay assassinated Charles and stole the box from him reclaimed it for the Templars.
In February 2014, the Assassins Harlan Cunningham and Arend Schut stole the artifact from an Abstergo Industries facility in Rotterdam. Abstergo's Sigma Team engaged the Assassins in contact, forcing them to leave the artifact behind.
