Before reading the background introduction, I need to do this as a fan or reader, and take all the religious history and legends you know from the altar of truth, because the world constructed by the Assassin's Creed series is a reconstruction of world history composed of various conspiracy theories.

· Forerunner·

Before the birth of human beings on Earth, they were ruled by a very high-level and highly developed civilization. We call them "first civilization" or "foreman". The "Primary" has strong intelligence, perception and power, but because the pioneers have poor reproductive ability and fewer numbers, they have created humans to help them complete various tasks. Just like now we humans have created intelligent robots to help us work. Similarly, just like we control robots through computers, the "Preliminary" civilization controls humans through an object called "The Holy Artifact of Eden" in later generations. The "Holy Artifact of Eden" has many ways of existence. The currently known holy artifacts of Eden are divided into several types: "Golden Apple", "Scepter", "Sword", "Shroud", and "Cross". Among them, 6 are known to exist, so he is the most popular holy artifact of Eden in the world of "Assassin's Creed".

As mentioned above, the pioneers have low reproductive ability, so they have come up with ways to create something that helps them work, and they also need to find something that carries their DNA inheritance. And this thing is still human. So they used their DNA to create creatures mixed with humans to preserve the continuation of their own race. Among them is a man and a woman, the man is called Adam and the woman is called Eve.

This is the story of God creating man in the Assassin's Creed world. Why did Adam and Eve specifically? Because they did something that was exactly the same as in religious stories, that was to steal apples, of course not the apples they ate, but the "golden apple" one of the fragments of Eden. They stole the apples and allowed some humans to escape the control of the "precursor" (this is the practical significance of Judaism and its extended religion's "original sin" and "losing divinity") and fought against the "precursor".

Although the "Primary" racial advantage is very strong, because there are mixed-race children with "Primary" DNA in humans, and there are numerous, the Prelimary is slowly falling into a passive situation, and the rebellious humans can secretly approach them and then assassinate them. And this group of people are called "assassins" by the pioneers.

But when a large-scale conflict between some humans and "Prefigure" broke out, a very important event occurred, and a small number of "Prefigure" realized that a person was about to explode.Disaster: Eruption of solar flares. This is a devastating event for the creatures on Earth, so three "first movers" leaders began to find ways to avoid their own destruction, namely Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva.

They have found 6 ways to avoid disasters in total. Because they are still fighting with humans, the previous methods have basically failed due to insufficient resources or ambiguous ideas. The fifth method was created by Juno (in the picture above), intending to save her consciousness into other relatively strong media, and her first experiment was her husband Aidan. However, due to the flaws in the experiment, Aidan's spirit was limited to endless pain. In order to end her husband's pain, she combined her husband's DNA with humans and ended her husband's life with her own hands.

Slowly Juno blamed her husband's death on humans, believing that human rebellion was the culprit, and his mind gradually distorted. The other two members, Minerva and Jupiter, took her under house arrest after discovering it. After Minerva finally found a solution to the disaster, she found that the device was still tampered with by Juno. Once the device was activated, Juno would be free and rule over all humans.

Because I had no time to modify the device and was unwilling to let Juno rule the world, Minerva chose not to start the device. The world ushered in a disaster of solar flare outbreak, with only about 10,000 humans living, and even fewer "firstists", and the two sides had to work together to survive. But because of the small number of pioneers, even if they interact with humans, they could not continue and gradually become extinct. So only humans remain in the world. But the "Primary" also realized that this disaster would explode again with the movement of celestial bodies. It was calculated that the next outbreak was December 21, 2012, which was the rumored "doomsday of the world" that had been circulating in the past few years.

So the above story was passed down from people to become a religious myth.

·Eagle's Vision·

In the previous story, we know that some humans have the genes of "precursor", so they have the same sensory ability as "precursor", and this ability is called "eagle vision", and the more sensitive one is called "eagle sense". This ability can track the target's movements and distinguish between enemies and enemies. Humans use this ability to assassinate the "pioneers". So after the first flare outbreak, those who fought for human freedom were called assassin. Even after the disaster broke out, some people with "Eagle Vision" inherited their identity and mission of "assassin" and protected human freedom.

("Eagle Vision" in the game)

Why do we need to protect human freedom? All the "Preliers" have become extinct, so who else intends to control humans?? In fact, if you think about it, it is definitely someone who can control such great power in human beings. The first person who longed for this right was the son of Adam and Eve: Cain. Adam and Eve handed over the stolen "golden apple" to Abel, and in order to seize the "golden apple", Cain controlled all human beings to work together to achieve a goal and build an orderly human world. And this story becomes the story of Cain killing Abel because of jealousy in religious stories.

So, the two factions at the beginning of human birth began to confront and develop in human history, and the core lies in the competition for the "Holy Artifact of Eden".

From here we can see that the IP "Assassin's Creed" has carried out a complete and thorough reconstruction and interpretation of the world we know.

·The Legend of the Holy Artifacts of Eden·

(Since the movie and the game plot are not closely related, I won't go into details about the game plot)

The major historical events and figures of mankind are related to the Assassin, the Templars and the Fragments of Eden.

Moses used the power of the scepter to divide the Red Sea.

Percius used the Sword of Eden to kill Medusa the snake-haired banshee.

The Egyptian pharaoh relied on the power of the scepter to rule people and gained knowledge from it to build the pyramid.

Jesus was reborn because of the effects of the cross (resurrection) and the shroud (healing).

The Crusades were to search for the "golden apple" in the "Ark of the Covenant"

King Arthur became the king of England because of his acquisition of the Holy Sword of Eden, the so-called "Sword of Stone".

Leonardo da Vinci has developed many technologies that transcend the times from the Golden Apple.

Joan of Arc defeated France repeatedly because of his "Sword of Eden".

Napoleon gets the golden apple and then gallops across Europe

Tsugen Takeda won the "Saint Sword of Eden" to dominate Japan, and then the "Saint Sword of Eden" was trapped in Oda Nobunaga

Genghis Khan obtained the "Saint of Eden" to conquer Asia and Europe.

Queen Elizabeth of England received the "Golden Apple" to reverse the people's belief in religion as Protestantism.

U.S. President Roosevelt conspired with Stalin and Hitler to use the "Golden Apple" to forge World War II, but in fact World War II did not exist at all.

Tesla obtained the "Golden Apple" to develop radio technology and created the Tungus Blast in order to destroy the "Scepter".

Ford obtained the "Golden Apple" and used its control workers to build the Ford assembly line

Gandhi's acquisition of "Golden Apple" gives him a large number of followers.

The US moon landing program is to recycle golden apples on the moon.

The entire human history is basically a "Holy Artifact of Eden". In the thousands of years of struggle, the Assassin Organization and the Templars gradually became stronger and spread all over the world. Especially after the legendary Assassin, Echio Auditore of Florence, Italy, rebuilds the Roman Brotherhood, it radiates from Rome to the entire Europe and even Asia. Linking the assassin organizations loosely around the world.

(Legend Assassin: Ezio Auditorre)

Because the Templars pursue the principle of establishing an orderly world, most of their members are mixed in the ruling class. Intent to obtain more "Holy Artifacts of Eden" through power, and then control all mankind through the power of "Preliminator". Therefore, many famous rulers in history are the Templars, such as Pope Rodrigo Borgia, US President Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Churchill, and Russian Tsar Nicholas II. Moreover, especially after the Industrial Revolution, the orderly social system was more in line with the development requirements of mankind, which caused the blurring of the boundaries of ideological conflict between the Assassin Organization and the Templars.

If it is not autocratic rule, or requires disorderly freedom. Neither of the two sides' battles over the Holy Artifacts of Eden will break out in large-scale conflicts. Therefore, the pattern has basically become that the Templars control the powerful and high-level people in modern society, while the Assassin organization is silently hidden in every corner of society.

·Hemorrhagic Effect·

From ancient times to the present, the Templars' existence has been changing, from the earliest religious denominations and governments to today's companies. In modern times, the Templars's Ontology is a company called Abstergo.

(Company logo)

Although the form of existence is changing, the purpose has not changed: Use golden apples to control all mankind and achieve an orderly world. So two projects appeared within Abstergo Company, one was Animius and the other was called Eye of Abstergo. The former was led by Warren Weidi, director of the research department, who developed a machine called Animius, which can trace back to the memories of its ancestors through the human body's DNA.

(Warren Vedick in the game)

Use this technique to search for the descendants of assassins who have possessed the "Holy Artifact" and read the memories of ancient assassins to discover the hiding place of the lost "Holy Artifact" in history. And this is the starting point of the entire Assassin's Creed game. Game players are either voluntarily or forced into Animus to explore the memories of their ancestors. However, this system is not without side effects. Such precise instruments are like a complex operation for the human brain. In many cases, it is uncontrollable what happens to the brain. Therefore, side effects will occur: "bleeding effect", that is, after the experimental subject leaves the machine, he can still see events that occurred in ancient times. This reason and experimental subject are caused by the descendants of ancient assassins who possessed a keen "eagle sense".

In short, it is a memory disorder caused by allergies. Some people go crazy because of the "bleeding effect", while some experimental subjects also inherit the muscle memory of their ancestors because of the "bleeding effect", and have the same assassination skills as their ancestors. The modern protagonist Desmon in the game was kidnapped into the No. 17 experimental subject because of the genes of the legendary assassins Altaïr and Ezio Auditore. However, due to the bleeding effect, he changed from a bartender to a skilled assassin. Later, he escaped from Abstergo and ran for the assassin's career.

(Desmon Myers in the game)

The content of another project of Eye of Abstergo is even more whimsical, launching the "Golden Apple" owned by the Templar into low-Earth orbit through satellites, and controlling the entire earth's human beings through the power of the "Golden Apple" (later declared to discover talented humans). The launch date is set on December 21, 2012. History is always surprisingly similar. Human beings are once again facing the end of the day, or being controlled. However, most human beings are still unclear, but the assassins still exchanged for a situation where neither happened through hard work and huge sacrifices. Abstergo did not obtain the "Golden Apple" he had planned, and Desmon sacrificed himself to start the "Preliminator" instrument to save humanity.

The ancient part of the movie plot should be very clear, from 1480 to 1530. That is, the same era as the legendary assassin Ezio Auditore in the game. At the same time, according to the content of "Assassin's Creed 2: Exploration" released on the NDS platform, it is in the Ezio SutraAfter the Battle of Fury, before the False Fire incident, there was a period of time during this 10 years that Ezio came to Spain, rescued Columbus and killed the "bloody religious prosecutor": Thomas de Tocmada. Both characters appeared in the movie, so it is more certain that the timeline is between 1488 and 1497. And the modern plot should be after the third generation Desmon killed director Alan Vedick from Abstergo and sacrificed himself to save the world. Because the project manager in the film is not Alan Vedic, but the CEO of Abstergo.

Interestingly, after the third generation of the game, there has never been animus from Abstergo Company. Only the Animus equipment of "Abstergo Entertainment Company" is available, which is the entertainment-oriented civil version of Animus. The movie is set after 3 generations, which means that if the movies and games share the world view, the equipment at Abstergo headquarters has made rapid progress. It’s no longer just thinking about it, but it has entered the VR era in full swing.

Finally, I wish you all a happy movie viewing!

Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
