Assassin's Creed

Intro The Assassin’s Creed series centers around the conflict between two secret societies: the Assassins and the Templars. Both groups are vying for control of Pieces of Eden, ancient artifacts that hold immense power. The Assassins value freedom and autonomy, while the Templars seek to impose order through control. The story primarily follows Desmond Miles, a modern-day man who learns he is a descendant of several famous Assassins. Using a device called the Animus, Desmond relives the memories of his ancestors, including Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad, Ezio Auditore, and Connor Kenway, among others. Each ancestor plays a pivotal role in shaping the Assassins’ fight against the Templars in different time periods, from the Crusades to Renaissance Italy and Revolutionary America. The narrative explores the discovery of advanced ancient civilizations like the First Civilization, whose technology and artifacts, like the Pieces of Eden, are central to the conflict. The series also delves into philosophical and moral dilemmas surrounding freedom, control, and the pursuit of power. The modern-day conflict between the Assassins and Templars continues to evolve, with characters like Edward Kenway, Jacob Frye, and Layla Hassan becoming key players. At its core, the series explores themes of identity, free will, and the cost of achieving a greater good.
