THE TRUTH 4-6

4-6

4. The gun came from PE4, which ended up in the hands of Nikola Tesla and was then taken by the Templars. Watching, you really get a sense of the anti-war message of Assassin's Creed, or at least the message it originally had.

5. Again, nice use of tropes to illustrate the idea of PEs being used to control history. I'm not a big fan of the sword. I can't really be sure about the first civ making a sword PE. I'm pretty sure Desilets would come up with a good explanation but good luck getting that from the current writers. It appeared in Unity for no apparent reason and shot lasers. 

But in reality the Sword was just an illusion creating device like the other PEs. At one point Altair faced off against Ghenghis Khan who was using the device to amass an army to sweep across Asia. Yes, at one point we had Altair fighting Ghenghis Khan: apple vs. sword. 

Anyhow, the sword wasn't sealed away by De Molay it was taken up by Jeann De Arc and then stolen by the Templars in the church. 

Ah yes, good old 34, the staff. You know the way in the start of Brotherhood, the staff was sealed away....it wasn't. We'll find out where it went later. 

6. "The web of history traps the good and the evil take what is not theirs."

I think if I could sum up the history of Assassin's Creed's development in one sentence. Desilets isn't being paid any royalties, by the way, nor are his team. For some reason that doesn't happen in the game industry. It happens in movies, T.V. and literature, but not games. The publishers managed to weasel their way out of that one.

Cain was apparently the first Templar. He stole the piece of Eden and used it to control. Note that it was Satan who told him. This could be literal as in a being either human or first civ that could have influenced him. Or it could be just a symbol of evil. The father of understanding is either Cain or Satan, but then this could also be symbolic. It suggests that the Templars began as those who wanted to control the pieces of Eden. It also suggests that the equal sided cross was used since the beginning of the Templar brotherhood.
