I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name?
This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given.
"If the Apple falls into their hands, the Templars will destroy everything that stands in their way. Protest, dissent... our right to think for ourselves."
―Benedicto, 1492.[src]

Aguilar's Apple of Eden is one of several Apples of Eden, ancient pieces of technology created by the Isu, primarily to control humankind, their workforce.

This particular Apple was recovered by the Spanish Assassin Aguilar de Nerha during the Reconquista, after preventing the Spanish Templars under Tomás de Torquemada from acquiring it. It was then given to the navigator Christoffa Corombo, who would ultimately be buried with it, and recovered in modern times by Abstergo Industries, until Aguilar's descendant Callum Lynch retrieved it.

Description

The Apple of Eden that came into Aguilar de Nerha's possession is a small, metallic sphere encased within a large protective shell that in proper light resembles amber and is semi-transparent. Even with this protective shell removed, the artifact is fully functional, except that onlookers can still see the Apple opening when it activates.[2]

History

Reconquista

The first known human to possess this Apple was the Sultan of the Emirate of Granada, Muhammad XII, an ally of the Spanish Assassins.[3] The Sultan did not make overt use of the Apple and risked losing both the artifact and his kingdom during his conflict against the Christian kingdoms of Iberia, Castile and Aragon.[2]

Torquemada admiring the Apple

In 1492, the Templars, led by the Grand Inquisitor and Master Templar Tomás de Torquemada, kidnapped the young prince Ahmed. They tried to ransom Ahmed for the Apple,[2][3] intending to combine it with the Shattered Staff of Eden that they also searched for and gain control of all of Spain.[4] Fearing for his son's safety, Muhammad XII accepted the deal and set up a meeting with the Templars after the fall of Granada.[2]

Before the exchange could take place, the Assassins Aguilar de Nerha and María intervened and battled Torquemada's guards. This ultimately led to the death of María and Ojeda, Torquemada's right-hand man, and Aguilar seizing the artifact.[2][3] Aguilar in turn gave the Apple to the Italian explorer Christoffa Corombo, another ally of the Brotherhood, for safekeeping. Christoffa swore to take the artifact to his grave and eventually did so, being interred with it in the Seville Cathedral.[2]

Modern times

In October 2016, the Apple was among the many Pieces of Eden sought by the Templars. They hoped that this particular Apple could provide the means to suppress humanity's violent tendencies, eliminate the free will of humanity altogether, and finally eradicate the last remnants of the Assassin Brotherhood. To this end, the Templars, under their guise of Abstergo Industries, captured several descendants of different Assassins, among them Callum Lynch, a descendant of Aguilar, and used them to explore their ancestors' memories.[2]

Alan Rikkin holding the Apple

Though Alan Rikkin, CEO of Abstergo Industries and a member of the Templar Inner Sanctum, successfully recovered the Apple from Christoffa's tomb, Callum and other Abstergo prisoners managed to break out. Callum then hunted down Rikkin, reaching him in London, where Rikkin was presenting the Apple to the Council of Elders at the Holborn Hall. Callum used the skills he had learned via the Bleeding Effect to sneak up on the Grand Master and kill him with his Hidden Blade, reclaiming the Apple for the Assassins.[2]

Behind the scenes

When Alan Rikkin presents Aguilar's Apple to the Council of Elders, it is seen emitting an eerie bright green energy, which is a stark contrast to the golden yellow energy emitted by the Apples previously seen in the franchise. An in-universe explanation for this discrepancy has yet to be given.
