## **Assassin's Creed the Fall Setting**

Much like any other source labelled Assassin's Creed, this particular entry from that reality concerns a chapter in the struggle between the Assassins and the Templars.

### **Daniel Cross**

Daniel Cross starts off as a recovering junkie, a man without any sense of direction in his life. This is made worse by the constant visions that surface, visions of a life that is not quite his own. Later he is accepted into the Order of Assassins, but when taken to the Mentor after two years of unsuccessful searching, he is revealed to be a sleeper agent for the Templars and he assassinates the Mentor, before escaping and returning to the Templars as a shell of a man. He seems to only be in any state of calm or docility when connected to the Animus.

### **Hannah Mueller**

### **Maria**

Maria is Nicholas' daughter. She prefers the winter palace over the city.

### **Mentor**

 a train due to his possession of an artifact in the form of a staff.

Nicholas is one of the last remaining members of the Russian royal class. Nikolai is sent to assassinate him by Vladimir Lenin, but the mission is not sanctioned
