At first glance, the Assassin’s Creed franchise may seem to be focused solely on Assassins liberating people in numerous historical eras throughout the world. In reality, however, Assassin’s Creed is a more complex story with mysteries and relics from a forgotten, ancient past impacting both the historical and modern-day Assassins and Templars. This mysterious past was initially hinted at through powerful objects called Pieces of Eden which were far too advanced to have been made by people in the past 3,000 years. Over time, more knowledge about these Pieces of Eden and their creators, the Isu, would be revealed as the Isu’s influence on humanity’s actions grew exponentially.
