Joseph
Joseph, born Yossef, was the eleventh son of Jacob. His father gave him a Shroud of Eden, later known to history as the coat of many colors, until it was stolen from him by his jealous brothers and he was sold to slavers in Egypt and the brothers dipped the coat in animal blood and returned it to their father, claiming he was killed by wolves. However, after solving the Pharaoh's dream that foretold the destruction of Egypt's crops, Joseph was made vizier and was given the name Zaphnath-Paaneah. He forgave his brothers when they came groveling to him at this point, fearing for their lives, but he accepted them without hesitation.
Legacy
In 2012, Joseph was one of many historical people included in the Glyph puzzles the late Assassin Clay Kaczmarek had left behind in the Animus as messages for his successor Desmond Miles to decipher. Desmond later did in September of that year.[1] Desmond solved this puzzle, which was part of a set titled "Keep On Seeking, And You Will Find" where Joseph was included in the list of historical individuals revealed by Clay to have possessed a Shroud of Eden.[2]
