the pair argued over the future of Rome and the fate of the Sword, and Romulus killed his brother[1] with the Sword of Mars before fleeing the temple. Mars once again manifested, this time offering a dying Remus an Atlantis Artifact that would save his life, at the cost of diminishing his free will and turning him into a Versipellis.[2]
By 717 BCE, the temple was being used by the Cult of Uni, a secret organization that sought to control the known world. Worshippers of Uni, they went so far as to trade the effigies inside the temple to portray her instead. There, on the eve of a planned assassination of king Romulus, the group gathered to officiate a propitiatory ritual, though the meeting was infiltrated by members of the Shields of Mars, a group founded by Romulus to defend Rome from the shadows. The Shields of Mars collected information about the traitors and their plan before killing Thresu during the ritual, hoping the superstitious Romans might perceive it as a bad omen.[3]
The following day, the Shields of Mars escorted Romulus to the temple, fleeing an attack at the Campus Martius. Romulus, intending to hide his sword in the very same underground chamber he received it in, led the group to the vault, where they were attacked by Remus, now a 10 feet tall wolf man with superhuman strength. Though a formidable adversary, Remus was eventually defeated and, in his final moments, he returned to reason and rejected his hatred and the gift given to him by Mars, reverting into his original form. The Shields of Mars then picked up his body and set him on the altar at the center of the chamber, placing the Sword of Eden in his arms.[2]
In 1504, the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins located the ruins of the temple, recovering a Memory Seal buried there.[4]

Senator Caius Galerius worked as Thresu's spokesman within the city walls, long operating in the shadows to recruit enough traitors for the plan. The murder was part of a larger plan that envolved stealing Romulus' Sword of Eden following his death in order to create a new order to rule and subjugate Rome, as demanded by Uni herself.[1]

| This article is about the group active during Victorian times. You may be looking for the group active until the Viking Age. |
The Descendants of the Round Table were a secret organization active in England from sometime after the Viking expansion until at least the Victorian era, claiming descent from the Women of the Mist. Though using the same name as another group, their aims were diametrically opposed: while the other group sought to to obtain and utilize Excalibur as a means to control and rule all of England while antagonizing the Women of the Mist, this incarnation knew of the weapon's location and carried on the mission of the Women of the Mist in protecting it. Their symbol was a crest with three crowns.[1]
In 1870, the Descendants of the Round Table were the targets of a Templar attack, that led to the death of a number of their knights, such as Ian.[2] The Templar agent responsible, along with a band of ruthless thugs, invaded their headquarters, intent on interrogating the leader of the group, Amelia Fairchild. Fairchild, though tied down, resisted the attempt bravely before being saved by a group of Assassins brought by fellow Descendant Chloe Taylor Cavendish. Threat averted, she thanked her saviors and awarded them with a prophecy about the location of the sword, seeing them as "deserving of all the honors befitting true knights".[1]

Chloe Taylor Cavendish, also referred to by the title of Galahad, was a member of the Descendants of the Round Table. Athletic and above average in height, Cavendish was a determined warrior who proudly embraced the title she had earned.[1]
In 1870, the Descendants were the targets of a Templar attack,[2] leading to the death of many members. Cavendish first suspected the culprits to be part of the Assassin Brotherhood, having seen a group of them at the murder site of Ian, a fellow member. Spotted by them, she escaped across the rooftops of London, though was eventually cornered by them. She drew her sword and removes her cape, ready to confront them. Eventually, they managed to clear any misunderstanding about the murder, and Cavendish decided to take them to the headquarters of the Descendants of the Round Table so they could speak to Amelia Fairchild, the leader.[1]
Cavendish and the Assassins arrived at the headquarters and were ambushed by a group of street thugs hired by the Templars, though they were dealt with quickly and the Assassins advanced into the chamber of the leader of the Descendants. There, they found Fairchild being interrogated by a Templar agent and surrounded by their bodyguards. Dealing with the invading party, Cavendish helped Fairchild out of the binds while she thanked the Assassins for the help.[2]

St. Clair's Defeat, also known as the Battle of the Wabash River and the Battle of a Thousand Slain, was a battle fought on November 1791 in the Northwest Territory of the United States as a result of settler expansion into Native American territory. The US army, led by Major-General Arthur St. Clair was trounced by the combined forces of the Northwestern Confederacy led by chiefs Mihšihkinaahkwa, Weyapiersenwah and Buckongahelas, leading to the worst defeat ever recorded at the hands of the Native Americans, where they lost almost a thousand men.[1]
In the eve of the battle, Colonial Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton and a few allies arrived at the longhouse being used by the Confederacy, hoping to obtain permission to go to a parley with the American general to try to avoid bloodshed. Mihšihkinaahkwa invited the group to sit and present their case, eventually granting them permission. The following morning, the group proceeded to the enemy camp to speak to St. Clair, unknowing they had been betrayed by a Shawnee spy, and were met with an ambush. As multiple rifle barrels were pointed at them, St. Clair addressed the group, claiming to have met Haytham Kenway and proudly boasting he would have Mihšihkinaahkwa's Apple of Eden in his possession in a few hours. The general was cut off by muffled gunshots and screams as the Natives attacked the army in the middle of their morning meal, Mihšihkinaahkwa having apparently decided against waiting for the group's return.[1]
Being quickly overwhelmed, St. Clair retreated to Fort Jefferson, having a soldier stay behind to gather his personal belongings. Ratonhnhaké:ton's group, having survived the ambush, entered the general's tent and stole his research, while cries of alarm outside indicated that the soldiers had been completely surrounded.[1]

The Battle of the Monongahela was a battle that took place on 9 July 1755 between British forces led by General Edward Braddock and French troops led by Daniel Liénard de Beaujeu[1] and aided by a party of Native Americans led by the Templar Haytham Kenway and Kaniehtí:io of the Kanien'kehá:ka.[2] The ambush led to Braddock's death and marked the end of the Braddock Expedition.[3]
While crossing the Monongahela River,[4] hoping to reach and conquer Fort Duquesne,[2] Braddock's forces were surprised by the French and their allies and the British strategy proved to be completely useless in such wooded terrain, with their forces being massacred: out of 1,600 men, 456 had been killed before Braddock's aide-de-camp George Washington organised their retreat. During the battle, Washington himself was hit by four bullets and had two horses die under him but survived mostly unscathed,[4] a fact that led a sachem to prophesize Washington would become "the leader of the nations".[5]

These cellars had two entrances, one accessible directly from the main hall and another hidden in a drainage tunnel opening on the banks of the Seine. The 1792 auction was attended by Templars led by Justine Delarue and Assassins led by Arno Dorian, the latter of which managed to steal the French Blue among the auctioned pieces.[1]

The French Crown Jewels (French: Joyaux de la Couronne de France) is the name given to the collection of jewels that were symbols of Royal or Imperial power of France between 752 and 1870.[1] In 1691, the collection was comprised of 5,885 diamonds, 1,588 precious stones, and 488 pearls. Its three most famous diamonds were the Regent, a white 140.64-carat diamond, the Sancy, a 55.23-carat pale yellow diamond that Louis XIV liked to affix to his hat, and the French Blue, a blue diamond weighing 115 carats brought from the colonies of the Indies[2] by jeweler Jean-Baptiste Tavernier.[3]
In September 1792, rioters looted the Royal Treasury[2] and made off with a selection of the gems there.[4] In the days following the theft, the criminals organized a clandestine auction to resell the pieces at La Limace Noir. Through an informant, the Assassins learned of the auction and of the Templars' interest in certain lots. Led by Arno Dorian, a group of Assassins infiltrated the auction and managed to steal the French Blue, despite the presence of Templars led by Justine Delarue.[3] The thieves were quickly arrested and executed at the Place de la Concorde, though many items were never recovered.[2] In the same year, Arno recovered three other diamonds and saw that they were returned to the National Convention.[5]

The Hope Diamond, also called the French Blue (Le bleu de France), is a Piece of Eden in the form of a diamond. With unknown powers and abilities, the diamond is said to carry a curse that leads its wearers to an early, violent death. First recorded owner of the gem was jeweler Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, who sold it to King Louis XIV of France in 1668. In 1792, during the French Revolution, the diamond was stolen from the royal treasury, alongside other French Crown Jewels. In the days following the theft, the diamond was included in an auction organized by Jean le Chien at La Limace Noir, where it attracked the attention of both Assassins and Templars. At the auction, the Assassin group led by Arno Dorian managed to steal the jewel and keep it out of the hands of the Templars led by Justine Delarue.[1]

Alice (died 1869) was a member of the British Brotherhood of Assassins and, alongside Lavinia and Michel Reuge, one of the discoverers of the sealed sarcophagus that housed the Aegis, during an expedition to Bath, Somerset in the 1840s. The trio set up an underground chamber in London to guard the item, only for Alice to become obsessed with unlocking the sarcophagus and betray Lavinia and Reuge to the Templars. Instead of allowing her to continue attempting to open the casket, the Templars imprisoned and tortured her, keeping her captive for over 20 years. During this time, Alice's obsession did not abate, and she continued to hum the melodies produced by the music boxes she knew were the key to open the sarcophagus.[1]
In 1869, she escaped captivity and immediately returned to the vault. Alice created a number of bombs and caltrops to aid in her endeavour, boobytrapping the vault and the tunnels leading to it. One of the items created by her was a small music box that detonated in Southwark, alerting Jacob and Evie Frye and causing them to return to the vault. At the chamber, which she had filled with thick white smoke and a discordant tune from a music box, Alice attempted to open the sarcophagus while humming to the tune. In spite of their hindered visibility and hearing, as well as Alice's own knives, the Assassins managed to fatally wound Alice.[1]

Captain Tom Phillips was the captain of the Royal African Company slave ship Black Ivory in the early 1720s. After a long career as part of the Royal Navy, he decided to work in a more lucrative field. Described as capable and charismatic, Phillips was someone who cared little about the nature of his cargo or the safety of his crew, only seeking to put aside enough money for a peaceful retirement.[1]
In 1722, the Black Ivory was used as bait for Edward Kenway and Adéwalé by Templar Jeffrey Bloodworth, who meant to eliminate the pair using his own ship while the Jackdaw and the Black Ivory were occupied with each other. Phillips and his crew defended his ship bravely, though despite having superior numbers compared to the attacking Jackdaw, their losses were severe. Phillips wished to keep fighting but was knocked out by his crew, who had had enough of the bloodshed, allowing the pirates to comandeer the ship.[1]

Captain Jeffrey Bloodworth, also known as Captain "Keelhauling" Jeff, was an English noble and member of the Templar Order. Single minded in his interests of hunting pirates and benefitting the Templar cause, Bloodworth travelled to the Caribbean and became the captain of the Royal Bounty. A man who compensated his lack of charisma and leadership with cruelty, Bloodworth received his moniker for his habit of keelhauling any prisoner captured. In 1722, he recovered a Ring of Eden from the spoils of a pirate vessel, a power that he quickly put into use.[1]
That same year, Bloodworth, aware of Assassin movement in the region, prepared a trap meant to eliminate Adéwalé and Edward Kenway: using the slave ship Black Ivory as bait, he would wait until it was engaged in combat by the Jackdaw and then attack with his own ship, which had superior weaponry. However, the pirates managed to comandeer the Black Ivory and, using both ships, reached the Royal Bounty and assassinated Bloodworth in spite of his use of the Ring.[1]

The Pirate Ring of Eden was one of the many Rings of Eden crafted by the Isu Idun, small artifacts that harnessed the power of electromagnetic fields, allowing its wearers to deflect projectiles, metallic weaponry and energy-based weapon discharges. This particular ring shrouded its wearer with a golden glow.[1]
Recovered from the spoils of a pirate vessel by Templar captain Jeffrey Bloodworth in 1722, the ring was quickly put into use, helping him defeat any enemy he faced. Wishing to eliminate the Assassin duo of Adéwalé and Edward Kenway, he prepared a trap envolving the ship Black Ivory, though the pair managed to turn the tables on Bloodworth and kill him.[1]
The fate of the ring is left unclear in its appearance, considering the roleplaying nature of the title it appears in.

Shangchuan Island (Chinese: 上川岛) is the main island of Chuanshan Archipelago on the southern coast of China,[1] 14 km south of the mainland.[2] During the Ming dynasty, the island served as a refuge for Chinese smugglers and a hub for Portuguese traders.[2]
In 1552, Spanish missionary and Templar Francis Xavier arrived on the island as a stopover to China, where he'd hoped to spread the Jesuit doctrine, but not only was he robbed of most of his possessions, he was also unable to find anyone willing to transport him and his missionaries to the mainland. Xavier was tracked into the island by two groups: Assassins led by Shao Jun and a contigent of Knights from the Order of Saint Benedict of Aviz led by Portuguese Templar João Machado, both seeking the Precursor box in his possession. Though Xavier had managed to find sanctuary at a small chapel in the island, he and his missionaries were killed by Machado's knights and the relic taken to their ship. While the Templars' ship remained at port it was attacked by a junk, possibly belonging to pirates or to the Ming military, allowing the Assassins an opportunity to recover the box.[2]

The Order of Saint Benedict of Aviz (Portuguese: Ordem de São Bento de Avis) is an order of chivalry founded in Portugal in 1146.[1] Its symbol is a green cross. The Order of Aviz had many links to the Templar Order, with some people such as Gaspar Vilela and João Machado having ranks in both.[2]
In 1552, a contigent of Knights of the Order were dispatched to the Chinese island of Shangchuan under the command of Machado, tracking down fellow Templar Francis Xavier and the Precursor box in his possession. The knights killed Xavier and his entourage, taking the relic with them, and awaited exfiltration by way of a Portuguese merchant ship bound for Nagasaki the following morning, where Vilela awaited them. However, their ship was attacked by a junk, possibly belonging to the pirates that dwelled around Shangchuan or to the Ming military, and, at the same time, it was infiltrated by Assassins that managed to recover the box.[2]

The Pagoda of Chengtian Temple (Chinese: 承天寺塔; meaning 'Bearing Heaven Pagoda'), is an eleven-storeyed brick pagoda in Yinchuan, China, originally built during the reign of the Western Xia.[1] The pagoda was used by the Mongolian Brotherhood of Assassins as a place for training, under former Assassin Wu. However, after Wu was killed by one of his charges, Shengtong, she then began teaching Assassin techiniques to the monks in order to help Tolui Khan.[2]
In 1227, just after assassinating Genghis Khan, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and his entourage stopped at the Pagoda, not knowing some of them served as spies for the Khan. Having informed Shengtong of the events that had transpired, they were drugged and had the Sword of Eden in their possession stolen. Shengtong then entered the pagoda, and set the entire top floor ablaze as soon as she noticed their approach, signaling the Mongols. Nevertheless, the group managed to recover the Sword of Eden and leave the pagoda.[2]

Shengtong was a member of the Mongolian Brotherhood of Assassins. Once formidable, she was driven to the edge of insanity when the Brotherhood prevented her from avenging her partner's death to serve a higher purpose and she was sent to the Pagoda of Chengtian Temple to train under Wu. Her want for revenge against those that killed her partner soon turned into resentment and when the war came with the invasions of the Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan, she allied with the Khanate. Wu discovered her betrayal of the Brotherhood, but was killed by Shengtong before he could warn them. She then began secretly teaching Assassin techniques to the other monks at the pagoda for General Tolui Khan.[1]
In 1227, just after assassinating Genghis Khan, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and his entourage stopped at the Pagoda, where they informed Shengtong what had transpired. Shengtong then drugged their tea with a natural sedative in order to give them and the Sword of Eden they carried to Tolui, but some of the monks not allied with her helped them wake up. She took the sword and entered the pagoda, hoping to reach the top and signal the Mongols while sending her allies to deal with the Assassins. Though she managed to set the entire top floor ablaze as soon as she noticed their approach, they managed to recover the Sword of Eden.[1]

Bella was an Assassin initiate active during the Italian Renaissance. She worked as an accountant for the various establishments maintained by Madame Rosa.[1]
In 1504, following the discovery of a Memory Seal buried in a ruin dedicated to Laran outside of Rome, Bella was tasked with transporting the artifact to the city and meeting with Ezio Auditore da Firenze at the Ginestra Fiorita. Bella arrived at the brothel before Ezio and awaited him in a room upstairs when soldiers attacked the building and set fire to it. The flames made her escape impossible and she passed out in the room clutching the artifact before Ezio and his allies managed to exfiltrate her.[1]

Ginestra Fiorita (English: Small ginestra flower) was a brothel maintained by Madame Rosa in one of the wealthiest districts of Rome, Italy, during the Renaissance. It was also used as a base of operations for an Assassin cell led by Ezio Auditore. A well-kept two-story building during its operation, it was decorated with the broom flowers it was named after.[1]
In 1504, Ezio had a meeting scheduled with the Assassin initiate Bella at the brothel, in order to receive a Memory Seal recently uncovered outside of Rome, though the building was attacked by soldiers before they could meet. The soldiers, carrying torches, burst through the front doors and swiftly set the curtains and carpets on fire. Ezio and his allies managed to defeat the attackers and save Bella, who had been trapped by the flames in a room upstairs and passed out clutching the artifact. The building, however, did not survive the attack, suffering structural damage.[1]

Warwick Burh was a fortress constructed on the River Avon, England. In 872 CE, it served as the residence of one of the wealthiest merchant families in the area.
In the same year, Aleksi, a captain of the Order of the Ancients, led an expedition to the fortress, having tracked down a Shroud of Eden to the location. He brought along with him a contigent of some Order members and two dozen mercenaries to help in his endeavours. After the Shroud was located, Aleksi shut himself away in a tower to study the artifact. Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan, accompannied by a few allies, infiltrated the burh looking for the Piece of Eden, eventually finding Aleksi in a room covered in writings and calculations. Though attacked by an Aleksi being controlled by the conciousness of Juno from the Shroud, the group managed to recover the item.[1]
Historically, the burh at Warwick would only be built around 914, under orders of Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians.[2]

Aleksi was a captain of the Order of the Ancients operating in England during the late ninth century. A ruthless commander marked with scars all over his arms and face, Aleksi took pleasure in hunting down and executing as many Hidden Ones as possible.[1]
In 872, Aleksi led an expedition to Warwick Burh, having tracked down a Shroud of Eden to the location. The Order occupied the fortress and, once the Piece of Eden was found, Aleksi locked himself up in a hidden garret atop a river-facing tower to study the artifact. He stayed in the room for days, writing tirelessly, doing "calculations" and talking to the consciousnesses in the Shroud. When the room was breached by Eivor Varinsdottir and her allies, they found its completely covered in writings and etchings, with Aleksi standing with his back to the door, writing on the rock wall with blood, using his forefinger which had worn down to the bone. Aleksi turned towards them and, while his finger healed, Consus addressed Eivor through him, asking her to stop Juno. Juno's consciousness, however, quickly took control of Aleksi and attacked the group, though they managed to retrieve the Shroud.[1]
Due to the openended nature of the roleplaying game, it is left unsaid whether Aleksi survives the encounter with Eivor and the others or not.

The Shroud of Eden copy is one of Juno's failed attempts in cloning the technology developed by Consus. While maintaining the original's extraordinary healing properties and significantly improving the wearer's physical faculties, it also retained fragments of the consciousnesses of both Consus and Juno. The continuous use of this Shroud is considered dangerous and capable of leading to insanity and death due to the the consciousnesses' ability to speak with the wearer and, more harmfully, their ability to attempt possession of the wearer.[1]
In 872, the Order of the Ancients tracked the Shroud to Warwick Burh, a fortress on the River Avon being used as the residence of a merchant family, and sent a contigent of Order members and two dozen mercenaries led by Order captain Aleksi. Once the Piece of Eden was found, Aleksi locked himself up in a hidden garret atop a river-facing tower to study the artifact. He stayed in the room for days, writing tirelessly and doing "calculations" and talking to the consciousnesses in the Shroud.

As he turned towards them, his finger healed while Consus addressed Eivor through Aleksi before Juno took control of the man and attacked the group, though Eivor and the others managed to recover the Shroud.[1]

The Abstergo Industries London facility was a complex belonging to Abstergo Industries located in London, England. In 2016, the had managed to acquire a blood sample of one of the first Assassins, who came into contact with several unknown Pieces of Eden. A group of Assassins raided the facility, aiming to trade the sample out for a fake and, as a distraction from their true objective, kidnapping Doctor Kamala Khatri in the process.[1]
Alongside this facility, which features in the first book of the Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game, Animus Handbook, there is a Abstergo Industries Neo-Chemical and Medical Research Lab that features in the third book, Forging History. Whether these two locations are one and the same, part of the same complex or completely different Abstergo endeavours in London is left unsaid.
