During my extensive research on the Staves of Eden at Abstergo Industries, I have discovered many fascinating aspects of these artifacts. Resembling scepters, the Staves embody a sense of authoritative power, representing sovereignty in various contexts. Through their unique design, all Staves display the ability to command and govern, exerting control over the thoughts and actions of individuals. The enigmatic properties of the Staves extend further, as they have the potential to conceal the presence of the bearer and even enable levitation. However, the true nature of these effects remains shrouded in mystery, leaving us to ponder whether they are tangible manifestations or intricately crafted manipulations of perception. It is also noteworthy that the tip of a Staff can be utilized as a spear, adding to its versatility as both a symbol of authority and a deadly weapon. Throughout our research, we have encountered only four Staves of Eden, each possessing a captivating history, further deepening the intrigue surrounding these powerful artifacts.

Alexander the Great used this Staff of Eden, gifted him by the Order of the Ancients, to consolidate power in Macedonia and massively expand his empire over the Middle East and beyond. After his death, the Scepter was interred in his tomb in Alexandria. In 47 BCE the Scepter was stolen by two members of the Order of the Ancients, Flavius and Septimius, who intended to use it to unlock an Isu Vault in Siwa. The Scepter was then taken to Rome, where Septimius presented it to the local Order of the Ancients before being slain by Aya.
