The Trident of Eden was an ancient artifact created by the Isu during human prehistory, which is said to give the powers of a god to its wielder.
Originally belonging to Alexander the Great, the Trident was split into three parts after his death, scattered across the globe. Each prongs or Daggers made from the artifact allowed its wielder to manipulate the emotions of others, the first instilling devotion, the second fear and the last faith.
The Daggers
Two of Alexander generals, Seleucus and Ptolemy each took a dagger, respectively to Asia and to Egypt, while the last one was sent to Macedonia. Eventually, the Macedonian and Egyptian daggers ended up into the hands of the Roman Emperors who gave one to the papacy.
The faith prong was in possession of Pope Callixtus III during mid-15th century, before he gave it to the King of Aragon, Alfonso V and his descendants. Emperor Charles V eventually offered the artifact to Hernán Cortés who used it to conquer the Aztec Empire. Following the Mexican–American War, the Piece of Eden was brought to the Aztec Club in New York City until it was stolen by the Assassins who gave it to Ulysses S. Grant in 1863. Before his death, Grant hide the artifact near his house.
Another section of the Trident was rumored to be buried with Genghis Khan.[1]
History
In the modern era, the mysterious Monroe and a group of other teenagers he recruited, accidentaly discovered the existence of the artifact through the exploration of their ancestors' memories in the Animus. This discovery pulling them into the conflict between the Assassins and Templars.
The team of young Assassin/Templar descendants went in search of the Trident but the first part ended up stolen out from under Assassin and Templar forces by Monroe, who was working for an unknown third party.
Eventually the group came apart, Owen and a reluctant Javier took sides with the Assassins, while the four others led by Sean were willing to work with the Templars. During the following weeks, the two factions pursued the second piece of the Trident in Mongol China.[1]
