Biography
Grand Temple
- "Both before the end and after, we sought to save the world."
- ―Jupiter.[src]
Upon the outbreak of the Human-First Civilization War, Jupiter was one of those who chose to find a means of preventing the coming disaster.[1]
They built Temples in which to research methods of doing so, and Jupiter, Minerva, and Juno were given the responsibility of sorting and sampling the information. The three convened in the Grand Temple, where all the findings from the Temples were gathered, in order to select and test them.[1]
However, though they found each succeeding method to be more promising, the First Disaster fell upon them, burning the Earth, and wiping out nearly all members of the First Civilization.[1]
In 1499, Minerva mentioned Jupiter in her warning to Desmond Miles, who she addressed through the "prophet" Ezio Auditore da Firenze.[2]

In order to prevent a repeat of the catastrophe, Jupiter urged Desmond to seek out the Grand Temple, and told him the means of opening the way.[1]
