The original Shroud was described as a white cloth stained with blood, which was usually kept in a simple wooden box. The shape of a seemingly tortured man was also burned onto its surface, positioned with arms to his sides and palms forward. However, Church records noted that the man's visage changed multiple times throughout history.

The Shroud has been used to heal wounds of varying severity, mending injuries ranging from stab wounds to birth defects. It spoke in an almost kind voice that constantly offered healing, and urged its users to disregard their own physical frailty.<ref name="ACPL3">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – [[Italian Wars: Chapter 4 – Perotto Calderon]]</ref><ref name="ACPL4">''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' – [[Italian Wars: Chapter 2 – Francesco Vecellio]]</ref>


===Bronze period===
When worn by [[Grand Master of the Templar Order]] [[Crawford Starrick]], the Shroud gave him enhanced healing abilities. He was able to regenerate from wounds that would be considered fatal almost instantaneously. The Shroud also granted Crawford enhanced strength, as he was easily able to physically overpower the [[Jacob Frye|Frye]] [[Evie Frye|twins]] and [[Jayadeep Mir]]. However, he lost the abilities granted by the Shroud after being physically separated from it.<ref name="ACS" />
The first known appearance of a Shroud was in 1700 BCE, where a Shroud was known as the famous multicolored coat given to [[Joseph]] by his father Jacob, and in 970 BCE, it was thought to be what aided [[David]], second king of [[Israel]], in his fight against Goliath.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Glyph]] #7</ref>


Another [[Shroud of Eden 1|Shroud]] appeared in the [[Greece|Greek]] mythology, where it became known as the {{Wiki|Golden Fleece}}, a legendary object of strange power. It was recovered by [[Jason]] and the [[Argonauts]], who took it from a tree guarded by a sleepless dragon in Colchis.<ref name="AC2" />
Despite the rumors of its abilities to do so, it could not be used to bring a being back to life. However, it could reanimate bodies to a small degree for a short amount of time.<ref name="ACPL Christmas">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – [[Holidays: Chapter 1 – Ghosts of Christmas Past]]</ref>


===Classical antiquity===
The Shroud was also known to cause severe hallucinations in those who had used it, and (in extreme cases, such as that of [[Niccolò di Pitigliano]]) could also seem to tear a person from the inside out.<ref name="ACPL4" />
{{Quote|Whatever power lies within this artifact, it has not returned our Brother to us.|Publius Volumnius commenting on the failed resurrection of Brutus.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}[[File:Philippi, Macedonia.png|250px|thumb|left|The Shroud covering Brutus]]
One Shroud later came into the possession of the [[Assassins]] of ancient [[Rome]] for some time. After the assassination of [[Gaius Julius Caesar|Julius Caesar]] in 44 BCE, and the subsequent suicide of [[Marcus Junius Brutus|Brutus]] in 42 BCE, Brutus' fellow Assassins tried to reanimate him with the Shroud in Philippi, [[Makedonia]].<ref name="ACPL Christmas">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – [[Holidays: Chapter 1 – Ghosts of Christmas Past]]</ref>


Since they had never used it before, the Assassins feared its effects, but nevertheless wrapped Brutus in the cloth. Though the corpse opened its eyes and moved its arms, it neither breathed nor reacted to any touch, and eventually fell still in a seeming "second death".<ref name="ACPL Christmas" />
[[File:Lateral Vision PL.jpg|thumb|250px|Perotto appearing in Giovanni's dreams]]
[[Giovanni Borgia]] in particular suffered lasting effects from the Shroud. Though the artifact healed his defective body as a baby, throughout his childhood, he would have vivid dreams of the [[Bleeding Effect|memories of others]] who had come into contact with the Shroud, such as [[Perotto Calderon|his father]] and [[Marcus Junius Brutus]].<ref name="ACPL Giovanni Borgia Rome">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – [[Rome: Chapter 2 – Giovanni Borgia]]</ref>


As some of the Assassins wept, Brutus was wrapped instead in a burial mantle, and the Shroud was returned to its wooden storage box.<ref name="ACPL Christmas" />
Additionally, Giovanni frequently spoke with a being no one else could see, an entity he called Consus.<ref name="ACPL Giovanni Borgia Rome"/>


The most famous person to own a Shroud was [[Jesus Christ]]. Upon discovering his possession of a Shroud, the [[Order of the Ancients]], under the guise of the [[Roman Empire]], had Jesus crucified circa 31 CE, and claimed the Piece of Eden for themselves. Jesus' disciples were able to recover the Shroud in order to attempt bringing him back to life, with no success. After this, traces of the Shroud disappeared.<ref name="AC2" />
In his later life, Giovanni would become known among the other Assassins as one who "spoke" with Pieces of Eden, and was particularly receptive to their presence. This led to him being sent on a mission to identify and retrieve [[Crystal Skulls|one such artifact]] in the New World.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – [[Rome: Chapter 4 – Giovanni Borgia]]</ref>


===Renaissance Italy===
According to analysis by [[Abstergo Industries]], when a Shroud is wrapped around a body, it scans it for damage, then reconstructs it on a cellular level, enabling potential reconstruction of decomposed organisms and, possibly, resurrection of deceased members of the First Civilization.<ref name="ACS" />
====Monteriggioni====
{{Quote|What better place than our walled city to hide such abominations from mankind? We will bury it deep and set up measures to ensure it remains hidden.|An Assassin regarding the concealment of the Shroud.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}[[File:Monteriggioni, Italy.png|thumb|250px|The Assassins of Monteriggioni examining the Shroud]]
The original Shroud vanished for many centuries, eventually resurfacing in France halfway through the fourteenth century. By 1355, the Shroud was in possession of the Templar [[Geoffroy de Charny]], but it was stolen by the Assassins that same year, and replaced by an intricate duplicate. [[Renato Auditore]] and his allies assured themselves that they had the real Shroud before locking it in a chest and hiding it in [[Monteriggioni]], [[Italy]].<ref name="ACPL Christmas" />
 
It was there that the Shroud was eventually rediscovered by one of Renato's descendants, [[Mario Auditore]], one century later. After learning that [[Federico da Montefeltro]] had attacked Monteriggioni solely to acquire the artifact hidden underneath the city, Mario and several other Assassins explored the cave underneath the well.
 
They found the Shroud, which spoke to them and told them it could heal the wounds they had sustained during their search. Overcome by the promise of the Shroud, Mario's allies attacked him, and he was forced to fight them off. He removed the Shroud from its hidden location and it was transferred to a new one.<ref name="ACPL2">''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' – [[Italian Wars: Chapter 3 – Mario Auditore]]</ref>
 
====Agnadello====
{{Quote|So... beautiful! It is a plain thing, carefully folded inside a simple wooden box, but it is also so much more!|Perotto Calderon first encountering the Shroud.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}[[File:Revelation.jpg|250px|thumb|The Shroud covering Perotto's son, Giovanni Borgia]]
In 1498, the Shroud was in the possession of [[Rinaldo Vitturi]], who kept it safe for the Assassin Brotherhood. [[Perotto Calderon]] brought his [[Giovanni Borgia|son]] to [[Agnadello]], Vitturi's hometown, hoping to use the Shroud to heal the defects with which he had been born. After having achieved this goal, Calderon replaced the Shroud in its box and left it.<ref name="ACPL3">''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' – [[Italian Wars: Chapter 4 – Perotto Calderon]]</ref>
 
====Lonigo====
{{Quote|I have no choice. Whatever power this thing holds, I must try to unleash it!|Niccolò di Pitigliano, just before attempting to use the Shroud.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}[[File:White2.png|250px|thumb|left|Niccolò di Pitigliano wrapped in the Shroud]]
More than a decade later, the Shroud had found its way to [[Niccolò di Pitigliano]] in [[Lonigo]]. After an almost successful attempt on his life, Pitigliano used the Shroud to restore some vitality to his body, allowing him to escape his burning home. When he attempted to use the Shroud again, hoping to muster enough strength to flee to another city, the Shroud tore him apart from within, killing him. Finding his mangled body, the Shroud was taken by [[Francesco Vecellio]].<ref name="ACPL4">''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' – [[Italian Wars: Chapter 2 – Francesco Vecellio]]</ref>
 
===Early modern period===
{{Quote|I hope you never find the Shroud, you have no idea of what it truly can do.|[[Lucy Thorne]] to [[Evie Frye]], 1868.|Assassin's Creed: Syndicate}}The former pirate and Assassin [[Edward Kenway]] came into contact with a Shroud of Eden at some point in his travels, and subsequently hid it in an Isu's chest in the [[Tower of London]]. Within the following century after his death the Shroud was moved into a [[Buckingham Palace crypt|crypt]] built beneath [[Buckingham Palace]] by Albert, prince consort in 1847. By 1868, during the [[Industrial Revolution]], both the Assassins and Templars were looking for the artifact. Ultimately, it was found and worn by [[Crawford Starrick]] during a confrontation with [[Evie Frye]], [[Jacob Frye]], and [[Jayadeep Mir|Henry Green]], though the three managed to remove it from his person and subsequently killed him while he was not augmented by it, with Jacob returning the Shroud to its resting place.<ref name="ACS" />
 
===Modern times===
{{Quote|Goose chase in the middle of a warzone while our own boys are dropping the bombs on me. For what? Chance that it may be the real thing?

The original Shroud eventually resurfaced in [[Milan]] in 1944, when [[Keith Scipione]], employee of [[Abstergo Industries]], bought it off one of the Baguttiani, a group of free-spirited thinkers.<ref name="ACPL Christmas" />


In 2011, [[Álvaro Gramática]], an Abstergo scientist, began studying the company's Shroud and through it, was able to communicate with its creator Consus. He slowly began learning more about the artifacts and the First Civilization, though the artifact was destroyed when the Assassins blew up Abstergo's laboratory in [[Paris]].<ref name="ACS" />
The Shrouds were identified as "nanotech matter regenerators" by [[Azaes]] in a simulation of the [[Isu Era]] encountered by [[Kassandra]] on behalf of [[Aletheia]].<ref name="Fate of Atlantis">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis]]''</ref>


As such, the [[Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order]] began searching for a new Shroud for their [[Phoenix Project]], which was used to study First Civilization DNA; as a result, the Assassins began looking for it as well, though merely to keep it from the Templars. Eventually, in late 2015, both groups managed to locate the artifact, which had been hidden again in the vault beneath Buckingham Palace.<ref name="ACS" />
==Known Shroud of Eden==
===Original Shroud of Eden===

Created by Consus, this Shroud also contained his consciousness which communicated with those who are healed by the Shroud. The first to recover the Shroud was the Isu [[Juno]] who studied it for her own plan.<ref name="ACS"/>  


Inner Sanctum member [[Isabelle Ardant]], along with [[Violet da Costa]] and [[Master Templar]] [[Juhani Otso Berg]] arrived there first and recovered the Shroud, but were subsequently attacked by an Assassin cell consisting of [[Rebecca Crane]], [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Galina Voronina]]. Amidst the struggle, Violet managed to escape with the artifact and brought it to Gramática, who intended to use its powers to make a First Civilization being from scratch, using the genome of [[John Standish]] and the [[blood vials]] from [[Bartholomew Roberts]]. Unbeknownst to him, Violet was secretly a member of the [[Instruments of the First Will]] that served [[Juno]], who had her own plans for the Shroud.<ref name="ACS" />

Patience, brothers. Soon we will reveal the secrets of The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis.

This article has been identified as being out of date. Please update the article to reflect recent releases and then remove this template once done.

Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service?

This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

"A myth become miracle, the "holy winding sheet" has arrived..."
―Publius Volumnius describing the Shroud.[src]

The Shrouds of Eden are Pieces of Eden shaped like cloths capable of restoration and healing. The Shrouds are nanotech matter regenerators designed by the Isu Consus, who created the original in the year 1923 of the Isu Era. His own consciousness was stored inside the original Shroud, resulting in his ability to possess the bodies of the artifact's users temporarily upon activation.[1]

The original Shroud was described as a white cloth stained with blood, which was usually kept in a simple wooden box. The shape of a seemingly tortured man was also burned onto its surface, positioned with arms to his sides and palms forward. However, Church records noted that the man's visage changed multiple times throughout history.

Powers and side effects

"The voice does not seem hostile, despite its urgency. Perhaps it does only wish to heal, but I will not take a chance!"
―Mario Auditore, regarding the use of the Shroud.[src]
The Shroud destroying Niccolò di Pitigliano

The Shroud has been used to heal wounds of varying severity, mending injuries ranging from stab wounds to birth defects. It spoke in an almost kind voice that constantly offered healing, and urged its users to disregard their own physical frailty.[2][3]

When worn by Grand Master of the Templar Order Crawford Starrick, the Shroud gave him enhanced healing abilities. He was able to regenerate from wounds that would be considered fatal almost instantaneously. The Shroud also granted Crawford enhanced strength, as he was easily able to physically overpower the Frye twins and Jayadeep Mir. However, he lost the abilities granted by the Shroud after being physically separated from it.[1]

Despite the rumors of its abilities to do so, it could not be used to bring a being back to life. However, it could reanimate bodies to a small degree for a short amount of time.[4]

The Shroud was also known to cause severe hallucinations in those who had used it, and (in extreme cases, such as that of Niccolò di Pitigliano) could also seem to tear a person from the inside out.[3]

Perotto appearing in Giovanni's dreams

Giovanni Borgia in particular suffered lasting effects from the Shroud. Though the artifact healed his defective body as a baby, throughout his childhood, he would have vivid dreams of the memories of others who had come into contact with the Shroud, such as his father and Marcus Junius Brutus.[5]

Additionally, Giovanni frequently spoke with a being no one else could see, an entity he called Consus.[5]

In his later life, Giovanni would become known among the other Assassins as one who "spoke" with Pieces of Eden, and was particularly receptive to their presence. This led to him being sent on a mission to identify and retrieve one such artifact in the New World.[6]

According to analysis by Abstergo Industries, when a Shroud is wrapped around a body, it scans it for damage, then reconstructs it on a cellular level, enabling potential reconstruction of decomposed organisms and, possibly, resurrection of deceased members of the First Civilization.[1]

The Shrouds were identified as "nanotech matter regenerators" by Azaes in a simulation of the Isu Era encountered by Kassandra on behalf of Aletheia.[7]

Known Shroud of Eden

Original Shroud of Eden

Main article: Shroud of Eden 1

Created by Consus, this Shroud also contained his consciousness which communicated with those who are healed by the Shroud. The first to recover the Shroud was the Isu Juno who studied it for her own plan.[1]

During Ancient Greece, the hero Jason was tasked to recover the Golden Fleece, which was, in fact, the original Shroud.[8] In 42 BCE, the Hidden Ones used the Shroud to save their brother Marcus Junius Brutus who committed suicide. Brutus opened his eyes and moved, he did not appear to breathe and eventually fell still in a seeming second death.[4]

By 1356, the Shroud was possessed by the Templar Geoffroy de Charny. The Italian Assassins stole the Shroud and hid it for a century in Monteriggioni before relocated it in Lonigo. In 1498 the Assassin Perotto Calderon used the Shroud to save his malformed son.[2] During the Battle of Agnadello in 1509, the condottiero Niccolò di Pitigliano stole the Shroud. A year later, the Assassin Francesco Vecellio mortally wounded Niccolò who used the Shroud to heal. As he tried to use it against the Assassin, Niccolò was torn apart by the artifact. Vecellio recovered the Shroud.[3]

During the 19th century, the Hermeticist William Robert Woodman came in contact with the Shroud and communicate with Consus. By 1944, the Baguttiani family had the Shroud. The Templar agent Keith Scipione bought the artifact and brought it to their front company Abstergo Industries.[4]

In 2011, the Director of Research of the Future Technology division of Abstergo Industries and Inner Sanctum member Álvaro Gramática studied the Shroud. In 2013, Gramática became the Director of the Phoenix Project, an initiative to fully sequence a First Civilization genome. He used the Shroud in the project and communicated with Consus. In 2014, the Assassins attacked Gramática's lab in Paris and Galina Voronina threw a grenade to kill the Templar. The explosion destroyed the Shroud but the artifact healed Gramática.[1]

Shroud of Eden 2

Main article: Shroud of Eden 2

Circa 1723, the former pirate and British Assassin recovered a Shroud of Eden in a cache and hid it in the Tower of London. By 1847, the Prince Consort Albert found the cache and relocated it in a vault under Buckingham Palace.[1]

In 1868, the Grand Master Crawford Starrick accessed the Shroud and wore it during his fight against the twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye. The Assassins separated Crawford from the Shroud and killed him. The twins locked the artifact in the cache which stayed in the vault. In 2015, the Templars Isabelle Ardant, Juhani Otso Berg and Violet da Costa took the cache but were confronted by the Assassins. Ardant was killed by Shaun Hastings but da Costa brought the cache to Gramática who wanted to use it in Project Phoenix.[1] In 2018, the Instruments of the First Will forced Gramática to use the Shroud to recreate a body for Juno. Later, the Shroud was destroyed in the explosion of the Gramática's lab in Australia.[9]

Other Shrouds

  • Many biblical figures possessed a Shroud of Eden. Joseph son of Jacob received a Shroud from his father. The King David wore a Shroud during his fight against Goliath. Jesus of Nazareth had a Shroud of Eden and the Order of the Ancients condemned him to recover it. It is unknown if it is the same Shroud or three different artifacts.[8]
  • Circa 422 BCE, in a simulation of Atlantis, the misthios Kassandra saw an experimental replica of a Shroud.[7]
