Upon failing to retrieve an Apple of Eden successfully from the Grand Master of the Templar Order and causing the death of one of his group, Altair is demoted within the Assassins. He is trained by a Master Assassin known as Al Mualim. Experienced through the genetic memories of Desmond Miles, Altair Ibn-La'Ahad is a 12th century Syrian Assassin raised in the Brotherhood community of Masyaf. It's only now that we get to the pivotal action that kicked off the original 2007 game. Aya departs for Rome, where she becomes the legendary Assassin Amunet while Bayek grows the Brotherhood in Egypt. This is also when we find out that the iconic AC logo comes from the mark left in the sand from Bayek's eagle pendant. The Assassin's Brotherhood is formed on a beach as the couple decide to separate but fight the darkness together. While Bayek and Aya manage to murder the five men responsible and reclaim the Apple of Eden, they discover that the Order of the Ancients is far bigger than they had realised. Aya gifts Bayek the hidden blade and in one of his first quests with it, proves that a spring loaded murder gauntlet is actually pretty dangerous - quelle surprise - and chops off his own ring finger at the same time as assassinating someone, accidentally starting a millenium-long Creed custom of amputating one of your digits before donning the hood. In a struggle, Khemu is tragically murdered with Bayek's knife by a man known as Flavius Matellus.īayek and Aya make it their mission to take revenge against the group of men responsible for their son's murder.
Upon arriving at an underground temple, Bayek is forced to hold a glowing sphere we now know is an Apple of Eden and asked to open a vault. While out in the desert, Bayek and his son Khemu are kidnapped by a masked group of Xerxes old pals and proto-Templars The Order of the Ancients. Like Kassandra, Bayek and his wife Aya are both experienced by Layla Hassan using her newfangled DNA based Animus. 49 BCE (Assassin's Creed Origins)įast forward to Ancient Egypt and Assassin's Creed Origins' Bayek of Siwa takes centre stage. Kassandra ends up as the Keeper of the Staff, which lets her experience the Isu simulations of Elysium, Hades, and Atlantis. Oh, and now's probably the time to say that not all the Isu are permanently dead.Īn Isu known as Alethia shifted her consciousness into a staff known as the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus that Pythagoras has been carrying around. Kassandra battles through the Peloponnesian War, takes on her evil twin brother, and entirely wipes out a group of people known as the Cult of Kosmos. This is because it's actually what's left of an artefact known as a Spear of Eden.

Spartan Misthios Kassandra, experienced in memory form by Layla Hassan in 2018, spends her Ancient Greek days wielding a weapon called the Broken Spear of Leonidas, which gives her superhuman strength. Sorry Alexios, given that Kassandra is canon, this will be her story. Skip a few decades and it's time for the main events of Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
