Brest is a city in western France.
History
In 1749, the Assassin ship, the Aquila, was built in Brest by the French Brotherhood at the request of Achilles Davenport.[1]
During the Seven Years' War, the Templar Shay Cormac sent troop-filled ships to the city to help with war effort and the Templars' own interests.[2] After their initial gambit paid off, the Templars sent a second wave of troops to consolidate their success.[3]
On 9 September 1944, members of the 2nd Infantry Division of the United States Armed Forces advanced on the city under heavy machine gun fire.[4]
In 2012, a photograph of US forces advancing on Brest was later acquired by the Assassin Clay Kaczmarek and hidden in the Animus for his successor, Desmond Miles to find. Desmond did so in September of that year.[5] The picture contained a hidden hexadecimal cipher that read "Antikythera mechanism, much older than 150 BCE." The picture was hidden with the Glyph puzzle titled "Infinite Knowledge".[4]
