The Scepter of Alexander the Great[1] was a Staff of Eden, a piece of leftover Isu technology and one of the few known Staves of Eden.
Owners
- Isu (? – ?)
- Alexander the Great (? – 323 BCE)
- Order of the Ancients (47 BCE – ?)
History
The Staff was originally under the ownership of the Order of the Ancients, who gave it to the Makedonian king Alexander the Great alongside a Trident of Eden. Having the possession of these two Pieces of Eden, Alexander was able to remain undefeated and create one of the largest empires in the ancient world.[2]
Eventually, the proto-Assassin Iltani infiltrated Nebuchadnezzar II's palace, where she poisoned Alexander and destroyed his empire.[3] His body was interred alongside his Staff in a tomb in Alexandria, the new city he founded in Egypt following his conquest of the land and which had become the capital of Ptolemy I Soter's new Ptolemaic Kingdom after Alexander's death.[4]
In 47 BCE, following the Battle of the Nile, the Order of the Ancients' leader Flavius Metellus took the staff from Alexander's tomb. Traveling to Siwa with fellow member Lucius Septimius, the two combined the staff with an Apple of Eden to access the Isu Vault hidden beneath the city's temple and activate its holographic map mechanism.[5] After learning of the vault's contents, Flavius took the Apple with him to Cyrene[6] while Septmius took the Staff and traveled to Rome.[7]
While Bayek hunted down and killed Flavius for murdering his son Khemu, then recovered the Apple, Aya pursued Lucius to Rome. On 15 March 44 BCE, Aya confronted and defeated Lucius at the Theatre of Pompey where she demanded to know where Alexander's Staff was. The dying Gabiniani revealed to her that he had given it to the Order in Rome.[7]
During the 19th century, the British Templar Alexander Burnes searched to no avail for the staff in Afghanistan.[8]
