The Precursor box is an ancient artifact created by the First Civilization, capable of interpreting and translating First Civilization language, most notably the script written in the Voynich manuscript.

History

By 1751, both the Precursor box and the manuscript were in the possession of François Mackandal, Mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood in Saint-Domingue. Using the artifacts, Mackandal discovered the existence of a First Civilization temple near Port-au-Prince and sent his subordinate Vendredi to investigate it. Unbeknownst to Mackandal, the temple was part of a system that held the Earth together.

Vendredi activated its defense mechanism, causing an earthquake that destroyed Port-au-Prince and its surrounding regions. After the earthquake, Master Templar Lawrence Washington stole the Precursor box and manuscript from Mackandal's camp and took the artifacts with him to Virginia, where the Templars studied the artifacts.

In February 2014, the Assassins Harlan Cunningham and Arend Schut stole the artifact from an Abstergo Industries facility in Rotterdam. Abstergo's Sigma Team engaged the Assassins in contact, forcing them to leave the artifact behind.
