History
Antiquity
The Scepter was originally owned by Isis, a famous member of the First Civilization deified by the ancient Egyptians. Several centuries later, in the 2nd century, the Scepter and the Ankh were in the hands of Lugos, who was a founding member of the Liberalis Circulum, an earlier iteration of the Brotherhood of Assassins. Unfortunately, the Piece of Eden was lost in a shipwreck off the coast of a small island in the Mediterranean Sea.[1]
Middle Age
The Scepter of Aset reappeared nine centuries later, when anonymous Italian fishermen found it amid the debris of Lugos' ship, in the early 11th century. Subsequently, the fishermen sold the artifact for a very low price to an Egyptian merchant, who in turn sold it to members of the Brotherhood of Assassins. Some years later, in 1250, still in Egypt, the Brotherhood gave the artifact to the Mamluks in an effort to help them in their slave revolt against the rule of the Ayyubid tyrants.[1]
The Scepter remained for nearly a century in the possession of the Bahri dynasty Sultans, placed in power by the revolt of the Mamluks, until 1340 when the Templars stole it from the Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad. The Assassins then entrusted one of them, Numa Al'Khamsin, with the task to find the artifact, which could have been a dangerous weapon in the hands of the Templars.[1]
