Template:War The Assassin-Templar War was a covert war of devastating proportions between the Assassin Order and their enemies, the Templars.
Said to have started with the killing of Abel by his brother Cain, the "first Templar", for his Apple of Eden,[1] the Assassin-Templar War was fought in shadows of history. The conflict was largely fought by proxy through the manipulation of governments and organisations in order to achieve each Orders various aims. It was very rare for the conflict to ever become particularly conspicuous, although there were occasions, such as the Third Crusade, where the Assassins and Templars openly fought alongside those they were manipulating.[2]
Throughout the conflict's long history, a number of different powers became embroiled, such as; the newly forming United States and Soviet Union[3][4], the Ottoman and Holy Roman Empires[5][6], on the side of the Assassins; and the Byzantine Empire,[5] the Sikh Empire,[7] and the Renaissance-era Papacy - dominated by the House of Borgia - on the side of the Templars[1][8].
By the 20th century, the conflict had truly removed itself from the public eye, with the Templars' operating mainly through their public-front; Abstergo Industries, while the Assassins struggled to survive on the fringes of society.[2]
The conflict was also integral to the plans of the First Civilization, namely Juno, Jupiter and Minerva, and their plans to avert the Second Disaster.[3]
