Legacy
In 2012, von Bismarck 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.[2] Desmond solved this puzzle, which was part of a set titled "Instruments of Power" where von Bismarck was excluded from the list of historical individuals revealed by Clay to have wielded a Sword of Eden.[1]
