Slavery is the subjugation of another person, to be bought and sold for forced labor. The First Civilization created humans to be their slaves, and throughout history, the Assassin Order believed that the Templars intended to return humanity to that state.
Practices
- Gladiators - In Ancient Rome, slaves were made to fight to the death for the entertainment of citizens.[1]
- Military - At the dawn of the Middle Ages, several military orders were made up of Europeans enslaved as children and trained to serve their conquerors.[1]
- Concubines - Around the world, people were sold into sexual slavery to serve the higher classes.[2]
- Eunuchs - These slave guards watched over concubines, and were castrated at a young age to discourage desiring them.[2]
- Placée brides - In French and Spanish colonies like New Orleans, a practice arose of white men selecting slaves for a form of "practice" marriage. Often though, they conceived children and opted to free their wives from slavery.[3]
History
The First Civilization controlled humanity with the Pieces of Eden, through neuro-transmitters implanted within the slave race. However, interbreeding led to the birth of hybrids like Adam and Eve, who were immune to the power of these devices and later instigated the Human-First Civilization War.[4]
The ancient Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians, but they were liberated by the prophet Moses, who was armed with a Staff of Eden.[5]
The Templar Talal ran a slave ring in Jerusalem during the Third Crusade, taking people from prisons, brothels, and sewers to be shipped to Garnier de Naplouse in Acre, where they were experimented upon in hopes of replicating the effects of indoctrination brought on by an Apple of Eden. This operation was scuppered when Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad assassinated both men.[6]
During the Borgia's rule of Rome, Silvestro Sabbatini kidnapped men, women and children to be deported into slavery. Ezio Auditore da Firenze and his apprentices assassinated him and freed those he was keeping captive.[7]
European powers like the British, French and Spanish enslaved Africans to work in their colonies in North America. In 1754, Silas Thatcher, an officer in the British Army, began enslaving members of the Kanien'kehá:ka nation, including Kaniehtí:io. Haytham Kenway and his band of Templar brothers freed the slaves and killed Silas to gain the natives' trust.[8]
By 1758, François Mackandal had recruited many slaves from the French colony Saint-Domingue into the Assassins, and attempted to poison all of their white masters. However, he was betrayed and executed.[3]
At the start of the American Revolutionary War, Lord Dunmore offered slaves belonging to Patriots freedom if they escaped and joined the British Army. George Davidson, a friend of Aveline de Grandpré, enlisted in Dunmore's Ethiopian Regiment because of this proclamation.[3]
In an alternate reality created by an Apple of Eden, King Washington enslaved the Kanien'kehá:ka, and later declared he would invade England and enslave its people.[9]
