Assassin's Creed II
Minerva appears as a hologram figure within The Vault, and reveals a little of origin of humanity within her people's history.
Minerva explains how humans came to be, what the pieces of Eden were for, and why her people no longer control the humans or exist at all. She states the purpose of the vaults built across the planet, and the disaster that the Earth suffered, and she referred to Ezio as the "prophet"; during most of her appearance she was talking to someone Ezio could not see, confusing him. She then tells him that she was not speaking with him, but through him. Minerva apparently knew that Desmond would one day relive Ezio's memories, as she seemingly addresses the camera (or Desmond's perception of the scene through the Animus) throughout her monologue, and concludes by saying, "the rest is up to you... Desmond", much to his ancestor's confusion. As Ezio tries to ask Minerva, her hologram disappears leaving Ezio with all of his questions unanswered.
Trivia
- Minerva is the Roman name for the Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena, imported from the Etruscans who called her Menrva, meaning that the people of ancient Greek, Roman and Etruscan times thought Those Who Came Before were gods.
- Minerva is also one of the statuettes that must be collected to place with her 'partner' Jupiter on one of the pedestals at the villa Ezio's great-great-grandfather built in Monteriggioni.
