King Arthur Pendragon (fl. 5th–6th centuries) was a Briton leader who led the defence of his people against the Saxon invaders in the early 6th century. He was also a member of the organization that would evolve into and come to be known as the Templar Order.
According to legend, Arthur possessed a sacred sword called Excalibur which he pulled from a stone.[1] However, he was later betrayed by those he loved, which ultimately led to his death.[2]
Legacy
Alan Rikkin was of the opinion that Arthur's view of the Templars' role was idealistic and misguided, seeing his failure as proof that the Order was meant to follow a different path in the 21st century.[2]
In 2012, Clay Kaczmarek included Walter Crane's illustration of Arthur pulling out the sword in the stone in a set of puzzles he had hidden within the Animus for his successor, Desmond Miles to find. Desmond did so in September of that year,[3] uncovering Clay's message suggesting that the sword of Arthur was in fact a Sword of Eden.[1]
