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. |
Shroud of Eden #2 was a Piece of Eden created by the Isu which was capable of healing its wielder of even the most grievous of injuries. It was the second known Shroud of Eden in existence and was likely designed after the original Shroud, which was created in the year 1923 of the Isu Era by Consus as a medical field kit to treat casualties of the War of Unification.
Owners
- Isu (? – ?)
- Edward Kenway (c. 1720s/1730s)[1]
- Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (c. 1847)[1]
- Crawford Starrick (1868)[1]
- Assassins (1868)[1]
- Templars (2015)[1]
- Álvaro Gramática (2015 – 2018)[1][2]
History
This Shroud was discovered by the British Assassin Edward Kenway, during his travels after 1722. He subsequently claimed possession of the artifact and secreted it to a hidden location within the Tower of London. Edward then left clues to the Shroud's location inside his journal, should later Assassins ever need to find it.[1]
Over a century later, Queen Victoria's husband, the Prince Consort Albert, found the Shroud around 1847 and it was moved once again to a specially-built crypt beneath Buckingham Palace. By 1868, both the Assassins and Templars were looking for the artifact.[1] Ultimately, it was found and worn by the British Templars' Grand Master Crawford Starrick during a confrontation with Evie Frye, Jacob Frye, and Henry Green. Though physically augmented by the Shroud and effectively immune to damage, Starrick was eventually killed when the Assassins managed to remove the Shroud from around his neck. The Shroud was then returned to its resting place.[3]
There the Shroud remained until 2015, when an Assassin cell comprising Shaun Hastings, Rebecca Crane, and Galina Voronina, with support from Bishop and a Helix Initiate, managed to locate it through the Initiates' reliving of the Frye twins' genetic memories. Independently, a Templar team comprising Isabelle Ardant, Juhani Otso Berg, and Violet da Costa had also identified the Shroud's location and engaged the Assassins in order to retrieve it.[4]
Amidst the fighting, Violet recovered the Shroud and brought it to Álvaro Gramática for use in the Phoenix Project, Abstergo Industries' latest attempt to completely sequence an Isu genome. Secretly, however, Violet was a member of the Instruments of the First Will and sought to use the Shroud to develop a suitable body for Juno to physically inhabit.[4]
After inspecting the Shroud, Gramática found a way to quickly recreate an Isu body, but was promptly surrounded by the Instruments of the First Will and forced to make a new body for Juno.[2] By unstitching the Shroud and using its strands to join them with the genetic code extracted from Elijah, a young Sage whose somatic cells contained a high concentration of Isu DNA, the body's growth was accelerated and the experiment was a success.[5]
The embryo became an adult in a short span of time. In the process, Consus contacted Juno, reminding her that Charlotte de la Cruz would ruin her plans. Although Juno came back to the physical world, the team led by Charlotte and Juhani Otso Berg faced and killed her. In the final stretch of the confrontation, Berg detonated a high caliber that completely destroyed Gramática's laboratory, which presumably destroyed the Shroud while also killing any remaining Instruments.[2]
Powers and capabilities
Like the original Shroud of Eden, this Shroud was capable of healing wounds of varying severity, mending injuries such as normally fatal stab wounds. When worn by Templar Grand Master Crawford Starrick, the Shroud not only gave him enhanced healing abilities, which repaired any injury almost instantaneously, but also augmented his strength by absorbing the vital force of someone. For example, he could easily stop Jacob Frye by "exploiting" him with the power of the Shroud or overpower the Frye twins and Henry Green when engaged.

The Shroud was also able to construct an entirely new Isu body from nothing more than somatic cells containing Precursor DNA.
