Sages are human reincarnations of Aita, a member of the First Civilization and the husband of Juno.[1]
Sages are born normally with their own personality and memories but they also possess the memories of Aita. They bear a strong physical resemblance to Aita, and possess a distinctive combination of anisocoria and heterochromia.[1] According to Abstergo, while the average part of Precursor DNA in regular humans is comprised between 0.0002% and 0.0005%, the Sages have a percentage comprised between 5% and 6%.[2]
Confirmed Sages included Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay, carpenter and explorer Thomas Kavanagh, Jr., pirate Bartholomew Roberts, silversmith François-Thomas Germain, and Abstergo Entertainment employee John Standish.[2]
History
After Aita, who had volunteered and died after being placed within a First Civilization machine in an attempt to save the world from a solar flare, Juno sought to somehow save him, so that they might reunite some day. To this end, Juno later manipulated the genetic code of human DNA, implanting a hidden trigger that would randomly activate and alter the genetic makeup of the individual, changing their appearance and imbuing them with Aita's memories.[1]
A Sage's blood is required to open the passage to the Observatory, hidden in Long Bay, Jamaica, through inserting it into a blood vial. The Mayan civilization and Taíno people worshiped the Sages, and the Mayan ruins in Tulum, Mexico contained a statue resembling a Sage's head.[1]
Sages have been recorded all throughout human history, in numerous regions around the world. According to Bahlam, an Assassin and the father of Ah Tabai, there had been at least eight recorded Sages by the late 1600s, although several Abstergo Entertainment researchers later concluded that the real count was likely much higher.[1]
When Juno was freed of her digital prison by Desmond Miles in 2012 and projected her presence in the web, the Sage of that era, John Standish began to search a suitable host for "his love". Discovering an Abstergo Employee that suited Juno's need, Standish was however killed before the completion of his plan and his body was took by Abstergo.[1]
After the attack of Standish in 2013, the Templars began a race to find the Sages through history, planning to recolt the DNA in their remains in order to sequence the complete genome of Homo Sapiens Divinius. Discovering the Phoenix Project, the Assassin Brotherhood then recruited several Animus users in order to thwart the efforts of Abstergo and find the Sages first.[2]
