They call me many things: Murderer. Cutthroat. Thief. But you may call me The Wanderer. This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias. |
The Wanderer was a Jewish Sage born in the Herodian tetrarchy.
Biography[edit | edit source]
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 were unreliable.[1] In 2014, Abstergo Industries added him to a list of possible Sages and sent it to their Future Technology division's Director of Research Álvaro Gramática. The Assassins later retrieved a copy of the information and stored it for the Helix Initiate to view themselves.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Mentioned only in a database entry within the 2014 video game Assassin's Creed: Unity, "The Wanderer" draws parallels with the real-world folkloric figure of the Wandering Jew, a man who had met and mocked Jesus on his way to the crucifixion and thus was cursed with immortality, destined to roam Earth until the Second Coming.[2]
