Side memories were memories of Desmond Miles' ancestors that could not be exactly determined in the timeline as historical event. As a result, side memories were optional missions that could be accessed at any time through the Animus.
Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Side Memories
When Altaïr was hunting the nine Templars, he also saved citizens who were being abused by the gaurds, climbed towers and tall building to access view points to gain a tactical advantage, collected the flags of the Templars, William of Montferrat, Talal, Garnier de Naplouse and Abu’l Nuquod. During his time in Cyprus, he collected Gold, Silver and Bronze Templar Coins.
Ezio Auditore da Firenze's Side Memories
When Ezio Auditore da Firenze was avenging the death of his family, he also beat up husbands who were ill-treating their wives, participated in races against other free-runners, completed assassination contracts for Lorenzo de Medici, delivered letters across cities, visited viewpoints and Templar Lairs, took seals from tombs of old Assassins, collected the Statuettes of Roman gods and goddesses, upgraded Monteriggioni.He also tore down wanted posters, bribed heralds and killed witnesses to reduce his notoriety.
During his time in Rome, he continued to complete [[Assassination Contracts#Rome|assassination contracts and collect feathers, but in addition to those he also started Liberating Rome from the Borgia by saving citizens, renovating Rome and assassinating key Templar supporters. He also destroyed the War Machines made by Leonardo da Vinci for the Borgia and destroyed a secret cult called the Followers of Romulus. He completed many assignments for the thieves, courtesans and assassins. Knowing that he could not take down the Borgia alone, he started to recruit people into the Assassin Order and sent them on mission throughout Europe. At certain moments during his time in Rome, he got visions of Cristina Vespucci.[1]
