I have a bit of a theory guys! That during the war between the FC and humans one of the FC sided with the humans and helped Adam and Eve get the Apple, this member was later known as "Lucifer" or "Prometheus". After the war was over and the FC were gradually dying out "Lucifer" passed on his knowledge to Cain and influenced him with his own ideology, which led Cain to kill able and be the founder of the Templars, and "Lucifer" was then known as The Father of Understanding among the Templars.

Both Lucifer and Prometheus went against the main deity to give knowledge to humans, and so could originally be the same member of the FC but over time different cultures interpreted him differently. Both figures are seen as enlightners to humans so is fitting for the Father of "Understanding".

The same way Hera was known for her jealous and vengeful nature against Zeus's lovers and offspring, but also against mortals who crossed her, which makes sense for the way Juno acts in the AC universe. Prometheus is best known as the deity in Greek mythology who was the creator of mankind and its greatest benefactor, who gifted mankind with fire stolen from Mount Olympus. It would make sense for Prometheus as a member of the First Civ who would be on the side of hummanity, and could possibly unite the Templars and Assassins against Juno.
