The Wanderer was a Jewish Sage born in Judea.
Biography
Circa 30 CE, he was believed to have encountered Jesus of Nazareth on his way to his crucifixion at Golgotha, though all references to him are unreliable.[1]
Legacy
Abstergo Industries later compiled him into a list of possible Sages in 2014.[1]
Behind the scenes
Mentioned only in a Database entry in Assassin's Creed: Unity, The Wanderer has been compared to a folklore figure of the Wandering Jew, a man who had met and mocked Jesus on his way to the crucifixion. Because of this action, he was cursed with immortality and was destined to live forever and to roam the earth until the Second Coming.[2]
Immanuel Kant referred to the Wandering Jew by the name Ahasuerus in his work The Only Possible Argument in Support of a Demonstration of the Existence of God. That name is also used to refer to a Persian king in a number of books in the Bible whom scholars equate to various historical kings of Persia, including Cambyses II, Xerxes I, Artaxerxes I, and Artaxerxes III.
