By 2016, the Ring of Blood was in [[Templars|Templar]] possession and had been transferred to [[Abstergo Industries|Abstergo]] executive and high ranking Templar [[Aleksandr Omovich]] for safekeeping in the private vault in his [[Omovich mansion|villa]] alongside the Ring of Moon. Abstergo archaeologist Dr. [[Zixuan Long]] arranged for a meeting at the villa, under the pretext of showcasing the recently discovered Staff of Seth and its connections to the rings.

In 1788, the [[Louisiana Brotherhood of Assassins|Louisiana Brotherhood]] received reports of grisly murders happening in [[New Orleans]], as well as tales of a predator terrorizing livestock.<ref name="Whispers">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Howling at the Fire]] – Sequence Hooks: "Swamps and Whispers"</ref> Noticing that most of the victims had connections to illicit trades and tenuous links to suspected Templar Don [[Vicente Jose Nuñez]], the Brotherhood decided to probe this lead further by infiltrating his residence.

The werewolf burst out of the house and onto the street from a window, before both it and the Assassins were chased out of the city by the soldiers. Reaching the Hopewell mound in the swamps, the group witnessed the werewolf transform back into a man as he died.

{{Main|Ring of Sand}} | |||
In 1923, laborers at the [[Tomb of Tutankhamun]] digsite uncovered a secondary tunnel leading to an new network of chambers and passageways. In one of the chambers, they located a solitary sarcophagus that housed the Ring of Sand. The Templars, led by Lord [[George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon|Carnarvon]], swiftly mobilized to seize control of the site. When the Templars attempt an incursion to the chamber, they were attacked by a living mummy wielding a golden [[khopesh]]. The mummy controlled a veritable menagerie: skeletons armed with rusty weapons, colossal [[snake]]s, swarms of carnivorous scarabs, sand ghosts and zombie [[hyena]]s obeyed their command. After the mummy noticed a group of Assassins that had infiltrated the site, they too became targets, though managed to defeat the mummy. A grenade, thrown in panic by a Templar agent, then detonated near the corpse, triggering a chain reaction and causing the underground complex to begin to collapse. The Assassins managed to emerge from the tunnel just before it would've trapped them in.<ref name="Discovery">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The Great Egyptian Discovery]]</ref> | |||
The ring and the sarcophagus that contained it became part of the [[Egyptian Museum]]'s collection, where they were grouped with [[Tutankhamun]]'s latest collection of relics. Though reportedly unearthed in a 1932 excavation, no records could be located regarding their provenance, making it plausible that the discovery was made in the 1920s. Also lacking in any records was information about the site where the sarcophagus came from.<ref name="Origins">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The Great Egyptian Discovery]] – Sequence Hooks: "Mysterious Origins"</ref> In 2016, the ring, along with a few other items from the Tutankhamun collection, was loaned to the British Museum.<ref name="Origins"/> While on display in London, the ring was stolen by an [[Assassin cell]], who had to kill a transformed woman who had been controlled into stealing it by Dr. [[Zixuan Long]].<ref name="Hackney">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Hackney Diamonds]]</ref> | |||
==Zixuan Long's plot and recovery by the Assassins== | |||
The Assassins later took the three Rings of Set to the Isu vault beneath the Valley of the Kings, preparing to stop Dr. Long's schemes and prevent him from reaching [[Apophis Project|Apophis]].

As they reached the castle, the noble's carriage stopped and he erupted from it to attack his pursuers, but they managed to overpower him and kill him.

A {{Wiki|Hopewell tradition#Mound|Hopewell site's mound}} in the swamps southwest of [[New Orleans]] was adorned with ancient petroglyphs portraying various scenes related to the Ring of Moon: One showed a strange animal-headed figure offering a spherical object to a Native, who undergoes a transformation into a werewolf warrior.

===The Great Fire of New Orleans=== | |||
In 1788, the [[Louisiana Brotherhood of Assassins|Louisiana Brotherhood]] received reports of grisly murders happening in [[New Orleans]], as well as tales of a predator terrorizing livestock. Upon further investigation, they located a {{Wiki|Manbo (Vodou)|voodoo queen}} spreading rumors of a [[Werewolf|Rougarou]] guarding an ancient bone circle in the [[Louisiana Bayou|bayou]].<ref name="Whispers">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Howling at the Fire]] – Sequence Hooks: "Swamps and Whispers"</ref> The rumors of the "monster of the bayou" led New Orleans residents to accuse anyone without an alibi or strong community ties of being responsible for the deaths. In an attempt to maintain order, Spanish Governor [[Esteban Rodríguez Miró]] and his [[soldier]]s carried out summary executions of the accused, but it only worsened the situation.<ref name="Hanged">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Howling at the Fire]] – Sequence Hooks: "Before They Are Hanged"</ref> | |||
Noticing that most of the victims had connections to illicit trades and tenuous links to suspected [[Templars|Templar]] Don [[Vicente Jose Nuñez]], the Brotherhood decided to probe this lead further by infiltrating his residence near [[Saint Louis Cathedral]]. Their investigation did not take place, for as they arrived at their destination, they found the house engulfed in flames, having already spread to the municipal building, barracks, and armory nearby. The chaos of the conflagration was augmented by [[civilian]]s fleeing in terror, while [[Spanish Empire|Spanish]] [[soldier]]s rushed to various locations. The werewolf burst out of the house and onto the street from a window, out of breath and severely burned, before both it and the Assassins were targeted by the soldiers. As they fled through the rooftops, they saw the fire spreading throughout the city, being aided by strong winds.<ref name="Howling"/> | |||

Doctor '''Zixuan Long''' (died 2016) is an archaeologist and researcher employed by [[Abstergo Industries]], with extensive expertise in the [[Piece of Eden|Pieces of Eden]]. In 2016, Dr. Long located a [[Staff of Eden]] that belong to the [[Isu]] [[Seth]], starting an obsession with the [[Egyptian mythology|mythological]] figure and leading him to believe he had been chosen to fulfill a prophecy to deal with [[Apep|Apophis]], the [[Snake|serpent]] god of darkness and disorder.<ref name="Massacre">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The Mansion Massacre]]</ref> | |||
==Biography== | |||
Further research done by Long revealed that the [[Staff of Seth|Staff]] was directly connected to other Pieces of Eden, a set of three [[Rings of Seth|rings]] bestowed upon Seth's champions. Discovering that two of the rings were already in [[Templars|Templar]] possession, in the private vault of high ranked Templar [[Aleksandr Omovich]], Long arranged for a meeting at the [[Omovich mansion]], under the pretext of showcasing the the recently discovered Staff and its connection to the two rings. Once there, Long was able to activate the [[Ring of Blood]] using his [[Zixuan Long's assistant|assistant]], who underwent an illusory [[Vampire|transformation]] and, under the control of the Staff, carried out a massacre in the mansion.<ref name="Massacre"/> Some short time later, Long gave the stolen [[Ring of Moon]] to a woman in an abandoned building near the villa, leading to her transformation into a seven feet tall [[werewolf]].<ref name="Wolf">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The Wolf Among Us]]</ref> | |||
Discovering that the [[Ring of Sand]] was being shown at the [[British Museum]], Dr. Long once again used the Staff to command his assistant, though this time the [[Assassins]] killed her before she could complete her mission, taking the Ring of Blood for themselves.<ref name="Hackney">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Hackney Diamonds]]</ref> | |||
Dr. Long then travelled to the [[Valley of the Kings]] in [[Egypt]], seeking the vault underneath the valley where he believed Apophis was held. The Assassins were hot on his trail and confronted him in one of the chambers beneath the [[Tomb of Tutankhamun]]. Using the Staff, he made the Assassins believe they were in a crimson desert with ominous black storm clouds instead of the painted halls of the tomb complex. He then seemingly transformed to mirror the mythological depictions of Seth before summoning shadow warriors and a sandstorm to attack the Assassins while remaining safe behind an energy shield. As the battle between them continued, however, his powers started to weaken, allowing the Assassins to deliver a killing blow.<ref name="Destiny">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Fulfill Your Destiny]]</ref> | |||

The '''Staff of Seth''' is a a [[Staves of Eden|Staff of Eden]], a piece of leftover [[Isu]] [[Piece of Eden|technology]], that belonged to [[Seth]].

==History== | |||
In 2016, [[Abstergo Industries|Abstergo]] archaeologist Dr. [[Zixuan Long]] located the artifact. With it, he was able to activate the [[Ring of Blood]] through his [[Zixuan Long's assistant|assistant]], who he controlled into carrying out a massacre at the [[Omovich mansion]] in [[London]].<ref name="Massacre"/> Some time later he once again controlled her into carrying out his will, this time meaning to steal the [[Ring of Sand]] from the [[British Museum]].<ref name="Hackney">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[Hackney Diamonds]]</ref> | |||
Dr. Long took the Staff to the [[Isu]] [[Temple (Isu)|Vault]] beneath the [[Valley of the Kings]], where he believed [[Apep|Apophis]] dwelled. There, he was confronted by an [[Assassin cell]] that had been investigating the mansion massacre and had acquired the three Rings of Seth. Using the Staff, he made the Assassins believe they were in a crimson desert with ominous black storm clouds instead of the painted halls of the tomb complex. He then seemingly transformed to mirror the [[Egyptian mythology|mythological depictions]] of [[Seth]] before summoning shadow warriors and a sandstorm to attack the Assassins while remaining safe behind an energy shield.

The illusions cast by the Staff faded, and the group noticed that while Dr. Long was still clutching the staff, his posture and expressions had completely changed, having been taken over by the Isu Seth. As he spoke, the Assassins heard the voice resonate inside their minds, transmitted through the rings. He congratulated them on their ability, tasking them with safeguarding the vault and the Apophis Project sealed within, using the Staff to grant them a vision of an apocalyptic world that would exist if it was ever let loose.<ref name="Destiny"/> | |||

A similar creature was encountered by the [[Assassins]] in 1870's [[London]], where a [[Wallachia]]n nobleman committed a series of gruesome murders while wearing the [[Ring of Blood]], though he managed to escape before the Brotherhood could confront him.<ref name="Twilight">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[The Mansion Massacre]] – Sequence Hooks: "London Twilight"</ref> Some members of the Brotherhood followed the culprit, journeying to [[Transylvania]]. Near his [[Dracula's Castle|castle]], the vampire attacked his pursuers, but they managed to overpower him and kill him. As he fell to the ground, the monstrous visage of a vampire faded to reveal a normal human with the Ring of Blood on his finger before the body dissolved into ash.<ref name="Dusk">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Forging History]]'' – [[From Dusk Till Dawn]]</ref> | |||
