Lore & Background
The series picks up after the events of Assassin's Creed: Assassins, where Charlotte de la Cruz, Galina Voronina, and Kody Adams were on the run. The narrative expands upon the search for the 'keepers of knowledge,' specifically the hacking collective known as Erudito. The story utilizes the Animus to traverse history, allowing characters like Charlotte to relive genetic memories. These sequences provide crucial context regarding the millennia-old conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order, revealing how past actions in 1692 Salem and 1536 Peru influence modern-day operations.
