## Summary

**Desmond Miles** was a member of the Assassin Order and a descendant of numerous familial lines that had sworn an allegiance to the Assassins; including individuals such as Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Connor Kenway.

Desmond was a gruff and cynical individual, who held a serious outlook on life, despite this, he was not above jesting about his situation, and would occasionally crack jokes, although they rarely elicited a good reaction from anyone. Desmond could also be selfless and brave, an example being his decision to save his father from Abstergo, even if he thought of him as an "asshole", as he put it.

Ezio is skilled at pickpocketing, blending into crowds, stealth and public assassination techniques. Haytham was trained in the methods of stealth, eavesdropping, pickpocketing and lockpicking. Connor is extremely skilled in espionage, stealth, infiltration, disguise, thievery, and eavesdropping.), Martial Arts (Altaïr and Ezio was trained in hand-to-hand combat.

Ezio's speed and abilities gave him a legendary status among the Roman Thieves Guild, so far as going to convince some of the members to believe that Ezio's freerunning skills were exaggerated, and blatantly impossible for someone his age, forcing him to prove otherwise. Through his training, Haytham became a capable freerunner, able to stealthily climb the insides of an opera house and the buildings of colonial America with little effort. Connor became a skilled freerunner at an early age, being able to climb trees and swing from one to another, as well as scale cliff faces or other natural elements.), Pressure Points (Altaïr could use pressure points to cause intense pain to a target.

Red indicates enemies or spilled blood, blue indicates allies, white indicates sources of information or hiding spots, and gold indicates targets or objects of interest.), Enhanced Senses (When an individual masters Eagle Vision, the ability can evolve to the more advanced Eagle Sense. This stage heightens all the senses of its user, allowing them to scent vapors of datura, diagnose an injured mercenary as being poisoned by just listening to their heartbeat, pick up cold trails, locate disguised enemies, sense the presence of stalkers, or see through walls.), Precognition (Eagle Sense can be used to foresee a target's path, which is particularly helpful in tailing a target, or detecting the path a guard would take, in order to set up a bomb or lay an ambush.), Retrocognition (Eagle Sense can give the user visions of past events that have happened in the location.), Telepathy (Eagle Vision allows the user to read a target's memories with a touch.)

Connor fought and defeated an enemies while under the effects of poison, and was fine afterwards.), Fire Manipulation (Altaïr was fine after having direct contact with fire.), Extreme cold (Ezio limbed to the top of Masyaf's icy mountain wearing his regular clothes. Connor can walk and swim around the Northwest Passage in his normal clothes. The Northwest Passage is cold enough to freeze a human body to a point in which limps can easily be broken off by even the slightest touch.) and to the abilities of the Apple of Eden (Due to being a direct descendant from hybrids such as Adam and Eve, Desmond lacks the neurotransmitter required to be affected by the Pieces of Eden), which include: Illusion Creation (The Apple can create realistic illusions, such as making it seem like the Red Sea was parted, or make it seem like water can be turned into wine.), Reality Warping (The Apple can turn thoughts into reality, including an entire alternate timeline.), Mind Control and Mind Manipulation (The Apple can control the minds of others.), Energy Manipulation and Energy Projection (The Apple can control and fire energy.), Animal Manipulation (The Apple can make animals attack the opponent.), Paralysis Inducement (The Apple can freeze a target in place.), Creation and Existence Erasure (The Apple can bring things into existence or erase them from existence), Aura, Madness Manipulation (Type 2), and Death Manipulation (When using the Apple, a golden perimeter spread around the user, followed by a smaller, white perimeter, opponents within the golden perimeter will go mad and fight each other and opponents within the white perimeter will immediately die.), Precognition (The Apple can show the user the future.), Teleportation (The Apple can be used to teleport.), Duplication (The Apple can be used to duplicate the user.), Pain Manipulation (The Apple can cause great pain onto a target.), Curse Manipulation (The Apple can cast curses.), Healing (The Apple can restore the user's health.), and Power Nullification (The Apple can nullify the powers of other Pieces of Eden.)
