The Templars: Black Eden

2032. The Order of Assassins had taken freedom too far and corrupted its ideals and beliefs. In a desperate move to secure 'freedom', to abolish the world's order and all it stood for, the disillusioned Mentors behind the global Assassin Order unleashed a pathogen created from the black Apple of Eden that turned man, woman and child into a mindless, feral creature. Monsters that served Those Who Came Before. This, they claimed, was true freedom; a world without order, a world without laws.

Jeremiah never knew of his Templar heritage, kept far from it by his sister and father. Nor had he known of the hidden Assassin-Templar war that had ravaged the world in the shadows for millennia. In the chaos of it all, he lost everything.

The remaining Templars were forced into isolation, as was the rest of the world's survivors. Little by little, Jeremiah felt the calling within his blood, leading him to the remaining Templar Order hidden below the ruins of Abstergo.
