Heart of the Brotherhood
The Heart of the Brotherhood was an Isu artifact that was used to activate the Prophecy Disk, taking the appearance of an oval, silver locket, which could be opened to reveal a small portrait of Jeanne.
Owners[edit | edit source]
- Isu (until c. 75,000 BCE)[1]

- Jeanne (1730s – 1757)
- Aveline de Grandpré (1757 – ?)
History[edit | edit source]
During the early 18th century, the Saint-Domingue Assassins owned and kept the medallion in Haiti until the African slave Jeanne stole it.[2] Jeanne, who had previously turned down an offer to join the Brotherhood,[3] was soon sold to the Louisianan businessman Philippe de Grandpré and took the artifact with her to New Orleans.[4]
Jeanne became her owner's placée and bore a daughter, Aveline.[5] After Philippe's wife Madeleine de L'Isle informed Jeanne that François Mackandal had been allegedly seen boarding a ship bound for Louisiana,[6] Jeanne employed Madeleine's aid and left New Orleans, fleeing to Chichen Itza in Mexico. Jeanne left the Heart with Aveline, who was unaware of its true nature and kept it as a memento of her mother.[7]
Jeanne later found fragments of the Prophecy Disk during the Templars' excavation of Isu ruins in Chichen Itza, but recognizing their similarity to the Heart, hid them from the Templars.[8] Aveline, who had become an Assassin, journeyed to Chichen Itza twice and found both halves of the Disk,[9][10] taking them back to New Orleans in 1777.[11] After using the Heart to activate the Disk, Aveline witnessed a holographic recording of Eve's election as the leader of the human rebellion against the Isu.[12]
