Assassins Creed -LD 3-

About all the characters; Isaiah: he was a member of the Templar Order, serving as the director of an Abstergo Industries complex called the Aerie. Isaiah was also a former member of the Instruments of the First Will, but he left the Juno cult to pursue his own plans for global domination. As Isaiah believed in the cyclical nature of Ragnarök, when the Second Disaster was averted in 2012, he tried to take matters into his own hands with the Trident of Eden to bring about the end of the world so it could be reborn when the cycle was renewed. Biography; In October 2016 after the Templars captured a team of teenagers using a stolen Animus to find the Trident of Eden under the guidance of the former Abstergo employee Sebastian Monroe, Isaiah and Victoria Bibeau tried to discover what they knew. In order to do so, the two Templars decided to use honesty, with Isaiah confirming that they were both members of the Templar Order and that Abstergo was indeed a front for the secret society but insisted on the benevolence of their organization. They successfully convinced some members of the group, who then revealed to the Templars the location of a dagger which, in actuality, was one of the prongs of the Trident owned by Ulysses S. Grant until his death.

Sebastian Monroe (born c. 1970s): he was a former high-level researcher of Abstergo Industries and member of the Templar Order before he left for mysterious reasons, stealing various technologies in the process, including an Animus. Monroe field of expertise at Abstergo were the "Ascendance Events"; various bloodlines crossing through centuries, being in contact with Pieces of Eden, until they all met at some point as if the generations where guided toward that moment by an unidentified force. Personality and traits;Though Monroe supports free will, he doesn't believe the Assassins share that belief, considering that their members swear loyalty and obedience to the Brotherhood. Additionally, he believes that even those who are of either Assassin or Templar descent are under no obligation to join one side. Monroe was a scruffy looking man, constantly wearing plain clothes and Converse shoes. He also wore a shirt of the American band Boston. Skills and equipment: Monroe has an eidetic memory. He is also a competent programmer who was able to modify his stolen Animus to allow multiple users to share their session while reliving their ancestors' memories (on the condition that each had an ancestor in the same area at the same moment). Monroe's Animus also gives a user more freedom in the simulation with less risks of desynchronization on the condition that they had more than one ancestor (such as a parent and their child) both in the same location during the relived event.

David Collins (born 2003); he is a young Afro-American teenager, the younger brother of Grace Collins, and a descendant of the 19th-century slave Abraham and his daughter Eliza. In 2016, he was part of a group of teenagers who, through the use of an Animus, discovered clues leading to one of the Pieces of Eden, the Trident, attracting the attention of both the Assassins and Templars. Grace Collins (born 2001); she is a young Afro-American teenager, the elder sister of David Collins, and a descendant of the 19th-century slave Abraham and his daughter Eliza. In 2016, she was part of a group of teenagers who, through the use of an Animus, discovered clues leading to one of the Pieces of Eden, the Trident, attracting the attention of both the Assassins and the Templars. Natalya Aliyev (born 2001); she is a young teenager of Russian, Kazakh, and Mongolian descent, tracing her lineage back to the opera singer Adelina Patti and the Mongolian Templar Bayan. In 2016, she relived Adelina's memories through the Animus.

Sean Molloy (born 2001); he is a disabled teenager who was recruited by Sebastian Monroe due to his ancestors' involvement in the Assassin-Templar War. Sean is a descendant of the Swedish Viking Styrbjörn the Strong, the English landlord Brandon Bolster, and the American Pinkerton agent Thomas Greyling. According to Abstergo Industries, Sean and the other recruits were part of what the Templars' researchers called an "Ascendance Event", multiple bloodlines who had been in contact with Pieces of Eden mysteriously converging at some point in history as if they were guided by an unidentified force.

Owen Meyers (born 2001): he is a teenager attempting to clear the name of his late father, as well as the descendant of the Chinese former Assassin initiate Zhang Zhi, the Spanish conquistador Alfonso del Castillo, and the American Assassin Varius. In 2016, Owen was recruited by Sebastian Monroe, who sought to bring together a group of other teenagers that had Templar or Assassin ancestors, in order to find the Trident, a Piece of Eden. The group, which was composed of Owen, Javier Mondragón, Sean Molloy, Natalya Aliyev and the siblings Grace and David Collins, accepted after Monroe told them about the Assassin-Templar War. Owen's Personality and traits; Since childhood, Owen's singular focus was his father's innocence, which made him easy to exploit with the first Templar agent he encountered and later Isaiah. Skills and equipment: Thanks to the Bleeding Effect, Owen had acquired the skills of his ancestor Varius. Thanks to that, Owen became skilled with blades, and was an expert acrobat with excellent freerunning skills and an expert spy with skills in espionage, stealth, infiltration, disguise, thievery, and eavesdropping. He also became an expert marksman and had a load of gadgetry at his disposal. He had also learned basic combat and freerunning from Griffin. Additionally, whenever he was in Grace's presence, they both felt a strong Bleeding Effect between each other that enabled them to work together to take down enemies. This connection was a result of the bond that Varius and Grace's ancestor Eliza had. Upon joining the Assassins, Owen made use of knives and a variety of grenades, including smoke, flash, sleep and EMP. Later, after synchronizing with his ancestor Zhang Zhi, he added a laser array and a crossbow pistol to his arsenal. Owen was also skilled in makeshift craftsmanship, constructing a crude fake pain grenade to help escape the Aerie.

Javier Mondragón (born 2000): he is a childhood friend of Owen Meyers, as well as a descendant of the Master Templar Shay Cormac, his grandson Cudgel, the Tlaxcaltec warrior Chimalpopoca, and the Icelandic skald Thorvald Hjaltason. After receiving basic training from Griffin, Javier was offered the opportunity to join the Assassin Brotherhood. Ancestry; Javier's ancestry included Irish heritage from the Templars Shay Cormac and his grandson, Cudgel Cormac, Tlaxcaltec Mayan heritage from the warrior and commander Chimalpopoca, he also had traces of Icelandic heritage owing from the skald Thorvald Hjaltason. Personality and traits; During his Animus session, Javier was confused by the feelings of his heterosexual ancestors, notably the physical attraction Chimalpopoca felt for Cortés' lover, the beautiful Marina. Javier also possessed a reckless streak, as evidenced when he broke into the police warehouse for Owen's father's casefile. Initially distrusting the Assassins, slowly, Javier found a kinship with them, finding a measure of honor at how they singularly focus on their target and not indiscriminately kill innocent bystanders simply because they're in the way. Upon being offered membership in the Brotherhood, Javier considered joining them, believing the Assassins could provide him a place to belong, where he didn't need to hide his homosexuality. Skills and equipment; Thanks to the Bleeding Effect, Javier had gained his ancestor Cudgel Cormac's skills, which served him well during the search for the Trident of Eden. Additionally, he had learned basic combat and freerunning from Griffin. Upon joining the Assassins, Javier equipped himself with a crossbow pistol that shoots darts laced with a neurotoxin, knives and several types of grenades, as well as a specialized suit that hides his heat signature. Javier possesses Eagle Vision, though it is not as advanced or proficient as Owen's.

Griffin's Personality and traits: Having been born into the Brotherhood, Griffin strongly believed in the Assassins' cause and the Creed, willing to die to defend an individual's free will. An experienced veteran, Griffin possessed sharp cunning in deducing that Owen and Javier had Assassin and/or Templar ancestry. Skills and equipment; As a member of the Assassin Brotherhood, it can be assumed that Griffin possessed all of the skills that the brotherhood trained him to have. Griffin possessed skill with blades, was an expert acrobat with excellent freerunning skills, an expert spy with skills in espionage, stealth, infiltration, disguise, thievery, and eavesdropping. He was also an expert marksman and has a load of gadgetry at his disposal. Griffin had a rechargeable shock blade that could extend out to various lengths, a grapnel hook,sensors, and an EMP function attached as well. He also had a variety of grenades, and poison darts. Trivia; A trained warrior and freerunner, Griffin was at least a third generation member of the Brotherhood. [citation needed]. Griffin follows the franchise's tradition of Assassins having avian-related names. A griffin is a mythological creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle.

Gavin Banks; he is the former leader of the Assassin Brotherhood, stationed on a ship named the Altaïr II. He keeps in communication with Assassin teams operating around the globe and monitors their progress on a daily basis. Following the death of his son, the distraught William Miles went into hiding and entrusted Gavin with the leadership of the Brotherhood. Around 2015, following the return of Miles to active duty, Gavin once again surrendered the control of the Assassins to the old Mentor. Personality and traits; While Gavin demonstrated the use of Eagle Vision to discover the fate of the Osaka Assassins, Eric Cooper noted that it didn't come naturally, and that he looked tired after using it. This suggests that Gavin may have gained the ability through training, or that he had an innate, but low aptitude for it. He is also shown to be a capable freerunner, when he traversed the rooftops of Tokyo to deal with pent-up stress Gavin is also fluent in Japanese, as seen when he ordered Kiyoshi Takakura to take them to his leader.

Rothenburg; is an undercover informant for the Assassin Brotherhood working from inside Abstergo Industries.

Cole; she is described as a young woman with straight blond hair, full lips and a sharp chin. Cole is a field agent and a member of the Templar Order, serving as the chief of security at the Aerie, an Abstergo Industries facility. She said she didn't know what he was talking about when Owen suspected she was Rothenburg.

Dr. Victoria Bibeau was a Canadian member of the Assassin Brotherhood. A native of Quebec, Victoria was originally part of the Templar Order, working as a psychiatrist and researcher for the Lineage Discovery and Acquisition division of Abstergo Industries at the Aerie. She was also an employee at Abstergo Entertainment, tasked with helping analysts that had difficulties coping with the Animus' after-effects, such as the Bleeding Effect. In 2016, Victoria departed from the Templar Order and Abstergo following the Ascendance Event. She was later recruited by William Miles into the Assassin Brotherhood, joining Layla Hassan's team on a mission to locate the lost Isu city of Atlantis, which led to the discovery of the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus, a Piece of Eden.

Abstergo Industries; it is a multinational corporate conglomerate, and the primary front for the modern day activities of the Templar Order. One of the largest and most prominent corporations in the world, Abstergo Industries and its predecessors were responsible for the majority of human technological development for the past millennia. Despite genuinely contributing to the technological development of society, Abstergo Industries' primary mission, as dictated by its Templar members, was the destruction of the Assassin Order, the procurement of advanced technologies originally created by the First Civilization, and establishing a New World Order. By the year 2012, Abstergo Industries had expanded into various business sectors, setting up various subsidiary companies, such as Abstergo Entertainment. In the same year, Abstergo Industries had come under investigation by the United States government for the "New Fluoride" experiment and was due to have its accounts frozen, prompting the company to hasten their planned Eye-Abstergo satellite launch.

The Animus: it is a virtual reality machine developed, and eventually commercialized, by Abstergo Industries. It allows the user to read a host's genetic memory and project the output onto an external screen in three dimensions. The machine was notably used in Abstergo's Animus Project and the Animi Training Program. The former analyzed the genetic memories of several select subjects, usually to gain information on the Assassin Brotherhood or Pieces of Eden, while the latter was used for the training of Abstergo employees. A newer model of the Animus, known as the Animus Omega, was distributed commercially by Abstergo as an entertainment console. It was compatible with video games consisting of recorded memories, and was intended to be used to influence the general public on the behalf of the Templars.

Helix; it is a cloud-based software developed by Abstergo Entertainment.NA continuation of the Data Dump Scanner, a creation of Álvaro Gramática, the Helix software allowed for accounts of various Templars and Assassins throughout history, with propaganda-based narrations delivered by Abstergo in favor of the former, delivered to the public via a games console-style format at a cheap price. Using the headsets, Abstergo can also collect players' genetic data. Through Helix, a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment relived Shay Cormac's memories and fixed the damage caused by a virus hidden within Shay's memory bank. Around the same time, an individual associated with the Assassins used a game console running on the Helix software to relive the memories of Arno Dorian, Jacob and Evie Frye.

The Bleeding Effect: it refers to a disorder wherein the genetic memories of one's ancestors begin to blend with the sufferer's own, real-time memories, often leading to difficulties in distinguishing between the two. In severe cases, this eventually resulted in mental breakdown. The most common source of the condition tended to be overexposure to the Animus virtual machine, which deliberately sought to view an ancestor's genetic memories in a controlled fashion.

A Piece of Eden; it is a type of sophisticated technology created by the Isu which reacts with the network of neurotransmitters engineered into human brains. With the notable exception of the Shrouds of Eden, the majority of the Pieces of Eden were designed for the primary purpose of mentally and physically controlling human thoughts, emotions, and behavior. They were, therefore, the main instrument by which the Isu forced the humans to serve as slave. The powers of the Pieces of Eden have mystified humanity over millennia, enough for them to conflate them with "magic" throughout history. The Isu civilization's extinction following the Great Catastrophe only reinforced this, as memories of the Isu faded into legends and myths. Since humans lack the technological expertise to reproduce these devices, they have long been the subject of innumerable conflicts between rival humans seeking them for their own ends. In particular, they are a central obsession of the Templar Order, which has devoted much of their resources to searching and seizing these artifacts in their quest for world domination.

Assassins: The Order believes in a strong set of values that strictly govern their way of life, referred to as "the Creed". This Creed consists of three tenets: 1) "Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent.". 2) "Hide in plain sight, be one with the crowd.". 3) "Never compromise the Brotherhood.". These tenets permeate every aspect of the Assassins' daily life, as well as their fight for "peace in all things". The Assassins carry out their duties through political, strategic assassination in the hope that killing one individual will lead to the salvation of thousands. They also believe that they fight on the behalf of those who do not possess the abilities, resources, or knowledge to speak out against those who abuse their power.

The Templar: The Templar Pledge Similar to their enemies, Assassin Brotherhood, the Templar Order also has three sacred tenets: 1) "Uphold the principles of our order and all that for which we stand.". 2) "Never share our secrets nor divulge in the true nature of our work.". 3) "Do so until death, whatever the cost.". The Templars are expected to uphold these three sacred tenets at all times, and breaking these tenets has always resulted in negative consequences for the one who does so. For example, Haytham Kenway (a Templar) assassinated Edward Braddock (another Templar) due to Braddock's actions compromising the Templars' beliefs with his actions, beliefs, and bloodlust.

The Assassin–Templar War: Assassin-Templar War is an ideological, sometimes military, conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order, as well as their respective predecessors, that has spanned across the entirety of known human history. The two factions often took part in, or even precipitated, military conflicts between nations to further their own agendas within their war, largely in the shadows of conventional politics
