Before being exiled to Saint Helena, Napoleon hid the Apple of Eden in a crypt underneath [[Les Invalides]], where it would stay until 1840, when his remains were repatriated. That year, General [[Henri Gatien Bertrand]] moved it to the Saint-Jérôme chapel at Les Invalides, to keep it close to the late emperor, hiding it under a golden cushion atop of which rested Napoleon's precious sword from Austerlitz.

The '''Battle of Camarón''' (French:''Bataille de Camerone'') was a conflict that took place on 30 April 1863 in [[Mexico]],[REF CAM] between the [[French Empire]] and the {{Wiki|Second Federal Republic of Mexico|Mexican Republic}} as part of the {{Wiki|Second French intervention in Mexico}},<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|Battle of Camarón}}</ref> when a [[French Foreign Legion]] unit led by Captain [[Jean Danjou]] was ambushed by the Mexican army. The 65 legionnaries took up positions in a nearby {{Wiki|hacienda}}, Hacienda Camarón, to defend themselves against the 2000 soldiers, managing to resist for over a day, though they suffered great losses and only a few legionnaires survived. The few survivors were then taken prisoner, with only the drummer, [[Casimir Lai]], escaping, having been gravely wounded and left for dead after the battle. He was later rescued by reinforcements from the Foreign Legion. Casimir had been tasked with protecting a [[Crystal Skull of Camarón|Crystal Skull]], no matter the cost, and they managed to smuggle it out of the country inside his drum.[REF CAM] | |||
Long after the battle, rumors began attributing the prodigious resistance of the Foreign Legion to a powerful artifact, though the Skull itself only served to reveal mysterious messages and symbols.

The '''Crystal Skull of Camarón''' is a [[Crystal Skulls|Crystal Skull]], a [[Piece of Eden]] created by the [[Isu]], that was recovered from [[Mexico]] by the [[French Foreign Legion]] in 1863 and guarded by the group until the 2020s, when it was retrieved by the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Senka]]. The function of the artifact is to reveal mysterious messages and symbols, and Senka also speculated that it also contained recordings that she wished to analyse.[REF CAM] | |||
==History== | |||
During the 1860s {{Wiki|Second French intervention in Mexico|invasion}} of Mexico, a Foreign Legion unit led by Captain [[Jean Danjou]] located the crystal skull and Italian military musician [[Casimir Lai]] was tasked with protecting it regardless of the cost.

The '''French Foreign Legion''' (French: ''Légion étrangère'') is a unique corps of the [[French Army]], which allows foreign nationals into French service.

=[[Louis XVI of France]]= | |||
On 6 August 1792, a crowd gathered at the Champ de Mars once more to demand the abolition of the monarchy. Fearing attempts to derail the revolution, radical Jacobins and Cordeliers took refuge at the Hôtel de Ville along with 7,000 troops and took over the Paris Commune. In response, Louis strengthened the defences at the Tuileries from 2,000 to 3,000 men, mainly composed of his Swiss Guard.[23] When the grounds of the Tuileries were invaded on 10 August by 20,000 revolutionaries, the angry crowd sought to kill the royal family, but Louis had seemingly predicted the situation and fled in advance with his family.[22] They took refuge with the Legislative Assembly in the Salle du Manège,[24] where Louis was arrested soon after and stripped of his power,[3] before being imprisoned in the Temple with his family.[25] During the storming of the Tuileries, the young artillery officer Napoleon Bonaparte stole the temple key, while copies of the King's correspondence with Mirabeau were found in the iron cabinet and made public by the Templars.[19] The iron cabinet also housed a register with the names of Assassins and Templars, though this document went unnoticed by the invaders and was eventually destroyed.[REF ARM] On 21 September, France was proclaimed a republic.[1] | |||
[...] | |||
Throughout his life, Louis displayed indecisiveness and shyness, and was mild-mannered, most likely having taken these traits from his childhood tutors. Despite his good intentions of helping the French people, his lack of a strong personality meant that he was unable to exert power in the field of politics, of which he had little knowledge.[1] He was also frequently influenced by his close associates and his wife.[21] It is believed that he was clinically depressed, and he often sought refuge from his duties by indulging in hobbies.[1] Louis XVI was a great lover of locks and clocks, preferring to spend more time in his workshop than with his queen. He also studied extensively, being a keen student of science, with a passion for geography and the navy, as well as a fluent English speaker.[REF ARM] In 2014, the Abstergo Entertainment researcher Robert Fraser said of Louis, "Very mild mannered (i.e., boring). His speech to the Estates-General almost put me to sleep".[1] | |||
=[[World War I]]= | |||
The countries envolved signed an armistice on 11 November 1918, ending the war.[REF ARM] | |||
The day following the armistice, painter Claude Monet gifted a selection of his ''{{Wiki|Water Lilies (Monet series)|Water Lilies}}'' to the French government as a symbol of peace. These paintings would later be installed at the {{Wiki|Musée de l'Orangerie}} a few months after his death in 1927.[REF ARM] | |||
During the war, the French adopted the {{Wiki|Centaurea cyanus|cornflower}} as {{Wiki|Bleuet de France|symbol}} of remembrance and solidarity with the veterans and victims of war, as it was one of the few flowers that grew on battlefields riddled with shells. The [[poppy]] serves the same {{Wiki|Remembrance poppy|symbolic}} function in England.[REF ARM] | |||
=[[Storming of the Bastille]]= | |||
On 12 July 1789, Swiss courtier and military officer {{Wiki|Pierre Victor, baron de Besenval de Brünstatt|Marquis de Besenval}} withdrew his troops from Paris in the face of government inaction[REF ARM] in suppressing the popular riots,[REF WIKI] which culminated two days later. On 14 July, a delegation of the National Assembly was invited to the Bastille to discuss terms with the governor. However, the protesters outside had become restless and managed to cut the chains holding the raised drawbridge.[2] The fortress was attacked by outraged Frenchmen joined by the Templar Élise de la Serre, who was searching for Arno. The general of the Bastille, de Launay, was killed by the mob; his head was hanged on a pike, which served as the start of the French Revolution.[3] During the havoc, Arno and Bellec used the opportunity to make their escape. The novelist Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade was also a prisoner, but had been transferred shortly before the building fell to the mob.[1] | |||
In 1789, the Marquis de Besenval was imprisoned, wrongly accused of having instigated the burning of Paris and the massacre of its inhabitants.[REF ARM] | |||
=[[Palais Bourbon]]= | |||
After the French Revolution broke out, the Palais Bourbon was nationalized,[REF DB] and it was used first as a revolutionary prison, and later as the {{Wiki|École Polytechnique}}. On 21 January 1798, it began functioning as the home to the legislative Council of Five Hundred.[REF ARM] Several members of the Templar Order were able to join the Council and used their influence to attempt to continue the Reign of Terror. In response, the Assassin Council of the French Brotherhood had Arno Dorian kill the Templars, curtailing their influence.[2] | |||
In January 2007, the tricolour flag was first brought into the National Assembly.[REF ARM] | |||
=[[Tuileries Palace|Tuileries Gardens]]= | |||
The original palace was built in 1564 under orders of Catherine de' Medici, widow of King [[Henry II of France]],[REF ARM] who found the Louvre too small to serve as the royal palace.[1] She was keen to express her Florentine heritage with the palace, using Italian Renaissance style in the architecture. [REF ARM] The Tuileries were later united with the Louvre by Henry IV.[1] In 1664, King Louis XIV had landscape architect {{Wiki|André Le Nôtre}} redesign the gardens, as he had done with [[Palace of Versailles|Versailles]] previously.[REF ARM] | |||
Over the centuries, the Tuileries' garden would become much like an amusement park,[1] the highlight of which came on 27 August 1783 when physicist and chemist Jacques Charles led the world's first manned hydrogen balloon flight, accompannied by aeronauts and engineers {{Wiki|Robert brothers|Anne-Jean and Nicolas-Louis Robert}}.[REF ARM] | |||
During the 1871 Paris Commune, the palace burned down.[REF ARM] | |||
=[[Palace of Versailles]]= | |||
Originally a hunting lodge for King Louis XIII, the palace was gradually expanded and renovated over the course of the century by his son and successor, Louis XIV,[1] who commissioned landscape architect {{Wiki|André Le Nôtre}} to design the gardens. | |||
=[[Place de la Concorde]]= | |||
On 25 October 1836, an {{Wiki|Luxor Obelisks|obelisk}} was erected in the Place de la Concorde, with the engineer of the machine that raised it, {{Wiki|fr:Apollinaire Lebas|Jean-Baptiste Apollinaire Lebas}}, remaining underneath during the process, so that if it failed, he would die without suffering the shame.[REF ARM] | |||

*[[Mithras]] | |||
Mithras, an evolution of the Persian sun god[REF MIN] Mithra, was a god worshipped by ancient Romans as a form of Roman paganism.[REF WIKI] Mithras was often depicted slaying a bull, and often had on a Phrygian cap[1, MIN] and Iranian trousers to emphasize his Eastern origins. His festival was celebrated on 25 December.[REF MIN] | |||
The cult of Mithras appeared in Rome at the end of the 1st century CE, and spread throughout the Roman Empire, with several temples being built across the provinces.[REF MIN] The province of Brittania, had at least two such {{Wiki|mithraeum}}, one in [[London|Londinium]][1] and another in [[Winchester|Venta Belgarum]].[Impaling the Seax] After being abandoned for numerous centuries following the Roman exodus of Britannia in the 5th century, these temples were subsequently used by a faction of the Order of the Ancients, who worshipped the god and practiced its beliefs.[1+Impaling the Seax] | |||
In the Middle Ages, the Levantine Assassin Mentor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad noted in his codex the similarities between Mithra and figures of other belief systems such as Jesus of Nazareth, Horus, and Dionysos. He postulated that these stories shared a common source.[2] | |||
*[[Lens Mining Company]] | |||
{{Era|Organizations}}{{WP-REAL|fr:Compagnie des mines de Lens}} | |||
The '''Lens Mining Company''' (French: ''Compagnie des mines de Lens'') was the company responsible for the extraction of coal in the {{Wiki|Nord-Pas de Calais Mining Basin}} of Northern [[France]]. It was established in 1852 and operated in the city of [[Lens]] until it was nationalized in 1946,[REF WIKI] with its main building being later transformed into the [[Faculty of Sciences]] of the {{Wiki|University of Artois}}. Besides mining, the company also operated with construction, building not only the housing estates for its employees, but also many amenities in the city such as a school, a clinic and a {{Wiki|fr:Église Saint-Théodore de Lens|church}}.[REF MIN] | |||
In 1960, then operating under the name of ''Groupe de Lens-Liévin'',[REF WIKI] the company closed operations at the [[Lens mining site number 9]], transferring the workers into the construction of the [[Stade Bollaert-Delelis|Bollaert-Delelis stadium]] with assistance from [[Abstergo Industries]], who used such operations as a cover for their investigations on a lost [[Templars|Templar]] treasure in the region. Unbeknownst to both companies, miner [[Henri Mulio]] had already located and hidden the treasure by then,[REF MIN] which would only be recovered by his great-grandson[REF INTERVIEW] [[Simon Mulio]] in the 2020s.[REF MIN] | |||

==History== | |||
First built during the 10th centry CE,[REF WIKI] the original church was destroyed by the Spanish[REF MIN] during the {{Wiki|Thirty Years' War}}. Though rebuilt in 1776,[REF WIKI] the relentless bombing of the city during [[World War I]] would once again reduce the church to rubble, along with over 98% of Lens. After the war, it was rebuilt with the assistance of [[Abstergo Industries]], who used the reconstruction effort as a pretext to conduct a survey of the city center as part of their investigations of a lost [[Templars|Templar]] treasure.[REF MIN] | |||
In the 2020s, [[Simon Mulio]] visited the church during his own search for the treasure and, after his disappearance, an Abstergo employee tracking him did the same.[REF MIN] | |||

In 1830, the obelisks at the portal of Luxor Temple were given by Egypt to France,[REF WIKI] through the influence of Jean-François Champollion. The original pedestal, which had sculptures of baboons with prominent male genitalia, was deemed too obscene and it was separated from the rest of the work, being sent to the Louvre, and would later be exhibited in the museum's annex in Lens. The main column was installed at the Place de la Concorde.[REF MIN]
In myths from the Ptolemaic era, Isis was paired with Serapis and they had a son named Harpocrates.[REF MIN]
Serapis was paired with the goddess Isis, with whom he had a son, Harpocrates.[REF MIN]
Among his many actions as an Assassin, Mirabeau also managed to confirm the presence of a Templar treasure in the region of Lens.[REF MIN]
After successfully retrieving the Apple of Eden, Napoleon returned home in October 1799. As the Jacobins took control of France in a coup, Napoleon allied with the Director Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès to organize another coup.[1] Using his newfound power,[20] Bonaparte seized power for himself during the coup of 18 Brumaire in 9 November, becoming the First Consul of France.[REF MIN][1]
[...]In 1800, his sister Caroline married General Joachim Murat.[15] In May of that year, Bonaparte took command of an army in Lyon and crossed the Great St Bernard Pass to confront the Austrians in Italy.[REF MIN]
Mithras, an evolution of the Persian sun god[REF MIN] Mithra, was a god worshipped by ancient Romans as a form of Roman paganism.[REF WIKI] Mithras was often depicted slaying a bull, and often had on a Phrygian cap[1, MIN] and Iranian trousers to emphasize his Eastern origins. His festival was celebrated on 25 December.[REF MIN]
The cult of Mithras appeared in Rome at the end of the 1st century CE, and spread throughout the Roman Empire, with several temples being built across the provinces.[REF MIN] The province of Brittania, had at least two such mithraeum, one in Londinium[1] and another in Venta Belgarum.[Impaling the Seax] After being abandoned for numerous centuries following the Roman exodus of Britannia in the 5th century, these temples were subsequently used by a faction of the Order of the Ancients, who worshipped the god and practiced its beliefs.[1+Impaling the Seax]
In the Middle Ages, the Levantine Assassin Mentor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad noted in his codex the similarities between Mithra and figures of other belief systems such as Jesus of Nazareth, Horus, and Dionysos. He postulated that these stories shared a common source.[2]
The Lens Mining Company (French: Compagnie des mines de Lens) was the company responsible for the extraction of coal in the Nord-Pas de Calais Mining Basin of Northern France. It was established in 1852 and operated in the city of Lens until it was nationalized in 1946,[REF WIKI] with its main building being later transformed into the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Artois. Besides mining, the company also operated with construction, building not only the housing estates for its employees, but also many amenities in the city such as a school, a clinic and a church.[REF MIN]
In 1960, then operating under the name of Groupe de Lens-Liévin,[REF WIKI] the company closed operations at the Lens mining site number 9, transferring the workers into the construction of the Bollaert-Delelis stadium with assistance from Abstergo Industries, who used such operations as a cover for their investigations on a lost Templar treasure in the region. Unbeknownst to both companies, miner Henri Mulio had already located and hidden the treasure by then,[REF MIN] which would only be recovered by his great-grandson[REF INTERVIEW] Simon Mulio in the 2020s.[REF MIN]

The Church of Saint-Léger is a church in Lens, France dedicated to Saint Léger of Autun.
History
First built during the 10th centry CE,[REF WIKI] the original church was destroyed by the Spanish[REF MIN] during the Thirty Years' War. Though rebuilt in 1776,[REF WIKI] the relentless bombing of the city during World War I would once again reduce the church to rubble, along with over 98% of Lens. After the war, it was rebuilt with the assistance of Abstergo Industries, who used the reconstruction effort as a pretext to conduct a survey of the city center as part of their investigations of a lost Templar treasure.[REF MIN]
In the 2020s, Simon Mulio visited the church during his own search for the treasure and, after his disappearance, an Abstergo employee tracking him did the same.[REF MIN]
