Plot
Jot Soora is a programmer in MysoreTech located in Bangalore. He is also the fiance of Monima Das, a famous actress in India. It was revealed that Monima is the descendant of Arbaaz Mir. Arbaaz had courted with the princess Pyara Kaur, granddaughter of Ranjit Singh, the founder of Sikh Empire.
MysoreTech has been assigned by Abstergo Industries to distribute Animus consoles across India in an attempt to access the genetic memories of the descendants of Arbaaz Mir and Pyara Kaur living in India in order to find a Piece of Eden. Jot was found to be a descendant of a mute servant and apprentice that Arbaaz had hired and accompanied with him in his adventures.
One day when Jot brought the Animus console home, Monima tried it on while Jot was sleeping and she was able to access her genetic memories where she found that she is a descendant of Arbaaz Mir and Pyara Kaur. Jot later finds out that the machine can also extract memories from the operator's DNA and upload it to the Abstergo Cloud server. Through the cloud server, Jot relives some specific memories of Arbaaz Mir.
Jot learns that Mir was on the trail of the Koh-i-Noor diamond, a Piece of Eden. The diamond is told to hold an immense source of energy with the power to bind the fate of all Pieces of Eden together as one. It is also known that only women can hold the power it contains. Mir finds out through his fellow assassins that it's being held by Ranjit Singh. Mir retrieves the diamond but it is taken by Singh's granddaughter, Pyara Kaur, who tries to escape with it until the Templars show up to stop her. When she takes out the diamond, a member of the First Civilization – an Indian goddess – possesses her and vaporizes everyone in the area except Pyara Kaur, Arbaaz Mir, and his servant. The member of the First Civilization then speaks through time and turns to Jot to tell him that the Templars and Assassins must stay of the same heart and unite to defeat Juno.
