The Encyclopedia is divided into four main parts:

  1. Factions
  2. Story
  3. Characters
  4. Places

Factions

This section describes the three main factions in the Assassin's Creed Series: The Assassins, the Templars and the First Civilization.

Assassins

The part on Assassins describes their ideology, their history and their Creed. It also gives information about the Assassin's sixth sense, Eagle Vision, and of Altaïr's Codex. Lastly, it explains their weapons and gear, including the Hidden Blade and Leonardo's machines.

Templars

The part on the Templars also describes their ideology and history. Most of all it gives a lot of information about Abstergo Industries and the Animus. It provides vast knowledge on the results of the Bleeding Effect and the viewing of the Animus environments.

First Civilization

The part on the First Civilization contains a lot of valuable wisdom on them. It describes their history, who they were and their creation of humanity. It also gives a lot of information on the Pieces of Eden and of the famous historial figures who wieled them throughout history.

Story

The story section is organised in chronological order, starting with the Middle Ages and Altaïr's journey in the first Assassin's Creed. It then progresses through the Renaissance time age with Ezio's story, right through the events of Assassin's Creed Revelations. It then has a small section on the Renaissance Legacy and Imperial Russia. The last part is on recent history in the series with Desmond Miles. It finishes on the events that occurred in the Colloseum Vault.

Characters

The characters section begins with a detailed profile on Desmond Miles, along with more character profiles on his allies, and then his enemies. Next there is a short profile on Aquilus, and then on Altaïr. Altaïr's profile is also organised by having a detailed profile of him and then of his allies, enemies and other historical figures associated with him. After Altaïr comes Ezio, with the largest selection of friends and enemies. Daniel Cross comes after Ezio, and after him it is Nikolai Orelov. There is nothing on Connor because the Encyclopedia was released along with Revelations in November 2011.

Places

The Encyclopedia also gives good informationa about the ten places that are visited in the game series:

  1. Masyaf
  2. Jerusalem
  3. Damascus
  4. Acre
  5. Florence
  6. Rome
  7. Monteriggioni
  8. Venice
  9. Constantinople
  10. Cappadocia.

The Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia has the largest selection of knowledge about the video game series with a total of 256 pages.

Trivia

  • On the spine of the Encyclopedia, there is a hidden message written in Unicode. Once translated and after removing the title in red, the message reads "Three lives toiled. Three lives lost.
