Summary of Events Thus Far
Desmond Miles is being held prisoner by a major corporation called Abstergo. Warren Vidic along with Lucy Stillman are performing scientific test on Desmond in order to retrieve important data that is of intrest to Abstergo. they are using a machine called the animus which is sort of like a jacked up cat-scan that searches a persons DNA strands for memories. The neato thing this machine is that not only does it search the occupants memories, but it searches the occupants ancestors memories as well. As the plot unfolds Vidic forcefully uses Desmond to retrieve these memories for ill means/or good means?....I guess we'll have to see...
Now for the memories...
A long long time ago in some galaxy/planet possibly not so far away. Some highly intelligent race of humanoids decided to put all those smarts into good use. In doing so, they came to a small little blue world called Earth. now on this little planet these "ones who came before" supposedly hooked up with some other humanoids of lesser than average brains and shared some of their knowledge and used them to help create a sort of "paradise" or "Eden". After this the ones who came before decide to make relics of power (almost Lord of the Rings style) These relics were highly advanced items that housed special attributes. To my knowledge There were a certain number of "apple" looking intruments, a staff or spear, a sword, and a grail-chalice-cauldron relic. with all of these relics, The ones who came before governed over their utopia. Well all goes swimmingly until two rebelious slave/workers decided to take an "apple" which caused quite a commotion as well as some sort of cataclysmic event. The people were known as Adam and Eve.
Now, fast forward a number of years to 1191 AD to the time of the crusades and we have this mysterious figure named Altair. He along with others is part of a long line of assassins...as if we didnt know this...These assassins follow a certain creed "Nothing is true , everything is permitted." Hmm...assassins/creed...oh!?...Assassin's Creed!...its all so clear now! We continue with the Templars. As far as we know, the Templars are at war with the Assassins. The reason being...Pieces of Eden. Well, Altair is tasked by Al Mualim (Master assassin jedi pwner) to go forth and kill the conspirators of The Knights Templar and in doing this find this Piece of Eden, bring it to me, and get lost. A couple of hidden blade stabs later Altair completes his task and Al Mualim reveals that He himself is a Templar and was using Altair to kill of the other templars sos he could have the Piece of Eden all to his greedy little self. Al Mualim then monologues on how all of past historic events were illusions caused by this "apple" he now possesses. He then goes on a spiel about his illusions of grandeur and how he will use the apple itself to bring peace and prosperity and become a god himself. Well Altair shove a blade in his big mouth and takes the apple which sprouts a holographic image of the world with locations of other pieces of eden. Roll Credits. At the end game, Desmond subconsciously (and unknowingly to Vidic) receives Altair's eagle vision power (a mystical power which allows Altair to reveal hidden clues within the game) With this power, Desmond uses it to reveal hidden messages written in blood all over the place where he is kept prisoner. It is revealed that Desmond is the 17th person they have used to extract memories from and that the blood belonged to subject 16 and apparent relative of Desmonds. The most interesting thing about the blood is that it was written in codes and drawings that depict possibles foreshadowing of things to be revealed at later times and the most intersting of them all....The apparent end of the world..2012...wich according to the game, is coming up pretty soon.
The second installment opens up with Lucy helping Desmond escape Abstergo. They arrive at a secluded warehouse and team up with some other peeps who are tech savvy and have created a better (even more comfortable) animus. They say that they are also assassins and they are trying to find the other pieces of eden before the Abstergo Templars do, but they still can't do it without Desmond...
Now Fast Forward some more years to The Renaissance in the 15th century. Here we have Ezio Auditore da Frienze, a young noble on the top of the world. Well long story short. Ezio's pops and two bros gets the lynch from some backstabbing would be friend and Ezio vows for revenge on the people who condemned his family. What at first starts out as a bloodlust vendetta soon unravels into a full blown out political conspiracy of Assassins and Templars who have been waring for centuries. Ezio is aided throughout his quest by numerous people inculding: His uncle Mario (who teaches fighting techniques), and Leonardo da Vinci (his gadget man). Ezio takes on the mantle of his father and follows the footsteps to be the assassin he was ment to be. The plot unfolds as Ezio kills off members of the conspiracy and who is behind it all...Rodrigo Borgia. Well Rdrigo has obtained Altairs Piece of Eden and plans to take over the Vatican with it. Ezio foils his plans and collects the "apple" and is greated by every person he has helped along the way including Machiavelli. They reveal themselves to be assassins and tell Ezio that he is the "Prophet" who will reveal the location of the secret vault that will give the locations of the other pieces of eden. the game fast forwards (due to corrupted data) to 1499 the year when Rodrigo Borgia has attained the rank of Pope Alexander VI. The codex pages that were scattered throughout Rome from and ancient text have been collected and deciphered to reveal that the Papal Staff (popes cane) is another piece of eden. Nedless to say Ezio beats up the pope using the "apple" to create illusions and gets the staff which allows him entry into the secret vault in the Vatican. when Ezio gets in the vault a holographic figure appears and reveals her self to be called Minerva a supposed goddess of Rome/Greek... you get the idea...She tells Ezio that her message is for Desmond Miles and not him. The message goes just like I explained in the first paragraph. Ones who came before, war broke out, disaster occured killing mostly everyone, blah, blah, blah. She states that the ones who survived built temples the best they could to warn humanity that these cataclysmic events will occur again and that they could prevent it somehow. End...or is it....Abstergo catches up with the assassin team but they fight their way out and are now traveling to some islands up north to find the rest of these temples, vaults, peices of eden, you name it their going to find it...hopefully.
Now I can finally tell whoever wants to listen or theorize about what I think will happen next from what I have been piecing together...here we go.
For starters I'd like to delve into the "naming of the characters" Altair = "The flying one, bird of prey, eagle" Ezio = "The flying one, bird of prey, eagle" Lucy Stillman = Lucy - "Name of a saint as well as name given to remains of supposed first humanoid", Stillman - "still=fishing tool, man=man so fisherman and if you delve further with this, you can theorize that her name is derived from the biblical "fisherkings"...look it up. Warren Vidic = "Warren - To hold or guard, Vidic - is Yugoslavian in orgin, but thats all I could find." Abstergo = "To Cleanse" Desmond Miles = "Desmond - From South Munster which is in Ireland, Miles - latin for soldier, knight, also could be named for Mil Espania or soldier from spain. Mil Espania was the ancestor of the final inhabitants if Ireland The "Milesians" (sons of Mil) these inhabitants were last in a long list of inhabitants that fought for the Emerald isle that is Ireland. The "mythological" battles spanned over years and years with many accounts of supernatural occurances, fantastical "relics" and "weapons" and "biblical" happenings....hmmm...anyone beginning to see some connections?
Okay, so Desmond name doesn't really follow his ancestors (eagle, bird of prey), but what it offers is a glimpse of what could possibly go down in a later game or games...you make you own guess here. What I have been finding out, though, is very interesting and all to obvious at times. So now I'll go a little deeper into the whole "Ireland" theory...
