Aleksei Zima

**Aleksei Zima** was a member of the Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins of Russian ethnicity active during the 15th century.

Formerly a member of the Byzantine Rite of the Templar Order, he used his past connections with the Templars to uncover a secret trade deal in Spain between the Byzantine Rite and the Spanish Rite in 1495.

## Biography

Born in Constantinople during the 15th century, Aleksei Zima was an Orthodox priest, driven by faith and a desire to help his fellow Orthodox Christians, Aleksei became a priest of the Greek Orthodox church at a young age, but soon discovered it was plagued by rampant corruption. Disgusted, he was easily convinced by agents of the Byzantine Rite of the Templar Order that the Ottomans were at fault, and restoring the Byzantine Empire was the solution. Hoping things changed for the better, Aleksei joined the Templars.

However, Aleksei's trust in the Templars was broken when he saw them ruthlessly killing an entire family of Orthodox commoners who had witnessed the murder of an Ottoman noble. Aleksei then realized that the Templars stopped at nothing to achieve their goals, no matter the costs to innocent lives.

Deeply disturbed and not knowing what to do, Aleksei was approached by Murat Bin Husn who introduced him to the Assassin's Creed. Murat explained the Assassin's timeless feud against the Templars and their dedication to defending the innocents regardless of religion, nationality, or origin. Realizing they shared the same sincere beliefs, Aleksei defected from the Templars and joined the Ottoman Brotherhood.

Thanks to his public identity as a priest of the Orthodox Church and his past connections with the Byzantine Templars, Aleksei proved to be an invaluable informant for the Ottoman Brotherhood.

In 1495, this led him to uncover a Byzantine Templar plot about to unfold in Spain, and to accompany Ishak Pasha and his most loyal Assassins to a foreign land.

## Trivia

* Aleksei (Алексей) is a variant of the name Aleksey, which itself is derived from the Greek name Alexis (Αλεξις) meaning "helper" or "defender". The last name Zima is of Slavic origins, meaning "winter".
Akhenaten's Apple of Eden

"Curse" Activation

Sutekh

**Akhenaten's Apple of Eden**, also referred to as the **Aten**, was one of several Apples of Eden, leftover pieces of technology created by the ancient Isu.

## Owners

* Isu (? - ?)
* Akhenaten (? - 1330s BCE)
* Nefertiti (? - 1330s BCE)
* Tutankhamun (c. 1332 BCE - ?)
* High Priests of Amun (? - ?)
* Isidora (? - 38 BCE)
* Bayek of Siwa (38 BCE)
* Sutekh (38 BCE)

## History

During the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, the Apple came into the possession of pharaoh Amenhotep IV, who associated it with Aten. Alongside his wife, Nefertiti, Amenhotep IV introduced a monotheistic religion to Egypt centered around the relic, and changed his name to Akhenaten.

Following Akhenaten's and Nefertiti's deaths, the Aten passed to their son, Tutankhamun, who chose to restore the polytheistic religion of his forefathers. Tutankhamun entrusted the relic to the High Priests of Amun, who kept it safe for generations until 38 BCE.

In this year, the God's Wife of Amun, Isidora, began using the relic to take vengeance on the tomb robbers who had killed her mother, Nitokris, conjuring apparitions of the dead pharaohs upon the city of Thebes in the process.

Eventually the curse was lifted by the Hidden One, Bayek of Siwa, who assassinated Isidora in Tutankhamen's tomb and had the relic given to Sutekh, a descendant of Ramesses II, so that he could hide it where no one would be able to find.

## Usage

This Apple of Eden has all the standard abilities of an Apple of Eden, such as illusion and apparition creation, mind control and energy manipulation. However, this particular Apple is somehow able to unleash a curse upon Thebes, causing the bodies of various Pharaohs to reanimate back to life and attack anything that lives.

While in Isidora's possession, she was able to conjure up physical manifestations of demons from the Duat, as well as create an illusionary copy of herself as a decoy. She was even able to hypnotically control the descendants of the Pharaoh Ramesses II.

Al Gore

**Albert Arnold "Al" Gore, Jr.** (born 31 March 1948) served as the 45th Vice-President of the United States from 1993 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. He was also the Democratic Party nominee for President in the 2000 U.S. presidential election.

Gore was supported by the Assassins in his campaign, but he lost to George W. Bush, a pawn of the Templars. One of the contributing factors to Gore's loss was the Templar sleeper agent Daniel Cross, who infiltrated the Assassin Order and killed "the Mentor," dealing a great blow to the Brotherhood and Gore's backing.

Afterwards, Cross returned to the Templars with the locations of almost all of the secret Assassin compounds, hidden across the globe, which resulted in the destruction of many Assassins. This forced them to lose their grip in the election, leaving Bush to gain the upper hand.

The news was given to the public that Gore had won the popular vote, but he had lost the election to Bush. Secretly, however, this was the result of the Templars' manipulation of the electoral college results of Florida, among other states.

West Indies Rite of the Templar OrderKingdom of Spain

### Status

Deceased

**Alejandro Ortega de Márquez** (died c. 1707) was a Spanish privateer and Templar that was active in the Caribbean, conquering several small islands in the name of King Philip V of Spain. Despite rumors that he had lived a year among the Taíno, possibly even taking a Taíno bride and fathering one or more children, Alejandro eventually attacked one of their settlements and was killed in the ensuing battle.

Due to his occupation, Alejandro's presence at home was rare, with some of his children, such as Lucia Márquez, growing up without ever meeting him. Consequently, they struggled to make ends meet and were forced to take to the streets to survive.

In 2013, his genetic memories were used as an Animi Avatar by the entertainment branch of the Templar company Abstergo Industries, to influence the general public via the Animus game console, under the title of the Adventurer.

Сжигая мосты

**Сжигая мосты** - это квест напарника, а именно Валери в Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

## Прохождение

Однажды капитан стражи Хиланд гневно врывается в тронный зал, ведя за собой Валери и некоего Эвельда, которые громко разругались на улице. Капитан в замешательстве, так как ни один из них не совершил ничего противозаконного, а потому просит барона разобраться. При допросе обоих виновных становится ясно, что причиной гнева Валери стал оскорбительный пасквиль у входа в таверну. Валери не отрицает своей вины, а Эвельд пытается переложить всю вину именно на женщину. Барон может решить конфликт как считает нужным, однако любые реплики в квесте, направленные на нежелание заниматься делом приведут к провалу квеста.

После того как они уходят, Хиланд рассказывает, что Валери в последнее время ведет себя странно и агрессивно, в частности, недавно поссорилась со Сказителем.

Сказитель поведает, что хотел разузнать у Валери некоторые моменты жизни паладинов Шелин, однако это вызвало лишь гнев Валери, о чем старый эльф сильно сожалеет. Также он упоминает, что недавно Валери поссорилась с Линдзи.

Линдзи рассказывает, что хотела разузнать у Валери по поводу её шрама, чем тоже вызвала её гнев и получила пару ласковых слов в адрес своей книги (который злой протагонист может поддержать).

Отправляемся к Валери. На все обвинения она сначала отмахивается, но потом признается, что случившееся на дуэли сильно повлияла на нее. Валери привыкла быть в центре внимания из-за своей красоты, а сейчас из-за шрама от нее все отвернулись. Рекомендуется напомнить Валери о том, что красота - это не главное, на что Валери выразит согласие и квест завершится.

Altar of Apollo Maleatas

The **Altar of Apollo Maleatas** was an alter dedicated to Apollo and Asklepios located southeast of the Sanctuary of Asklepios on the foothills of Mount Kynortion within the Valley of Dreams in Argolis, Greece.

When babies were brought to the Sanctuary, they were taken to the Altar of Apollo Maleatas to appeal to the gods for a cure. There, Chrysis took them into her care and raised them to work for the Cult of Kosmos. This is what happened to Deimos as a baby.

During her hunt for the members of the Cult and her search for her family during the Peloponnesian War, the site was visited by the Spartan *misthios* Kassandra.
Alan Turing

*"He's actually trying to invent one of those infernal things, instead of merely faking it for the newspapers. If he succeeds... you know what the mass unemployment generated by his robots will mean? Idle hands."*
―Abstergo agent "N" discussing Turing's robots with "V", 1954.

**Alan Mathison Turing** (23 June 1912 - 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and computer scientist. He is considered to be the father of computer science. Turing was an employee of Abstergo Industries and a member of the Templar Order. He was also a confidant of another Templar, John Maynard Keynes.

## Biography

During World War II, Turing worked for British intelligence, and was instrumental in cracking the code for the German Enigma machine. He also developed the Turing test, a way of testing a machine's ability to show intelligent behavior equivalent to or indistinguishable from that of a human. This inspired Turing's associate, Charles Milton Porter, to build The Thinker, the computer which ran the majority of Rapture's central automation.

Though it was publicly announced that Turing would attempt to build a robot, his contractors directed him not to actually build one, and to simply fake it for the press. This was because the Templars leading Abstergo feared that genuine robots would lead to mass unemployment, and a drop in the human birth rate. Turing, however, chose to ignore this directive.

Теренделев: страж Кенабреса

"**Святилище Иомедай: руководство послушникам от отца Лориана**" - внутриигровая книга в Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Является учебником, который при прочтении дает бонус боевого духа +1 к защите против драконов. Найти её можно в библиотеке "Черное крыло" в Кенабресе в 1 главе.

## Текст

*Кенабрес богат на выдающихся личностей — и тех, кто уже давно ушел в небытие, и тех, кто до сих пор живет в стенах этого города. Однако не будет ошибкой сказать, что величайшая из стражей города была, есть и будет серебряная драконица Теренделев.*

*Среди драконов металла именно серебряные отличаются особыми моральными устоями. Хотя, как и большинство своих сородичей, они зачастую остаются равнодушными к делам простых смертных, им невыносимо оставаться безучастными свидетелями несправедливых деяний и безнаказанных преступлений. Взирая на Голарион с высоты, Теренделев видела немало неправды и насилия. Но ни одна трагедия не возмутила ее покой сильнее войны Мендева с Мировой язвой. Влекомая любопытством и интересом к крестоносцам, которые кровью расплачивались за право других жить в мире, Теренделев спустилась с гор и прошла среди людей, приняв их облик. Чуден для нее был этот мир, столь далекий от ее собственного. На свое счастье Теренделев была не единственной из драконов, кто жил среди простых смертных: мудрый золотой дракон Халаселиакс стал наставником для драконицы и ее названого брата, Севалроса, позже таинственно исчезнувшего из анналов истории и памяти людей.*

*За свою жизнь среди простых смертных Теренделев совершила немало героических деяний: билась с страшнейшими исчадиями Бездны, оберегала Кенабрес от вражеских штурмов и лично спасала крестоносцев, попавших в беду. В одной из таких вылазок она и сама стала жертвой демонической скверны: свидетели рассказывают, как потемнела ее сверкающая серебром броня, помутились глаза, а речь и движения стали резки и грубы. Но столь велики были дух и решимость драконицы, что смогла она совершить невероятное — превозмогла семя зла, посеянного в самом ее сердце, и вновь обратилась к добру.*

*Сегодня Теренделев — живой символ стойкости и несгибаемости крестоносцев Кенабреса, оплота крестовых походов и форпоста человечества в войне с демонами.*
Alice Adler

**Alice Adler** (died November 2017) was an Abstergo Industries technician and member of the Templar Order. Alongside her Templar husband Thomas Adler, she had a daughter named Elisa.

Adler was in charge of the Animus in which was plunged by Maxime Gorm, the grandson of the English Assassin Eddie Gorm.

## Biography

Following an accident which rendered Alder's daughter totally amnesiac, Alice and Thomas stole an Animus and one of Abstergo's subjects, the comatose Maxime Gorm, and fled to Madrid. The Adlers used Gorm as a test subject in order to find a cure for their daughter by trying to heal the young man's broken psyche through the Bleeding Effect. In order to do so, they submitted him to several painful sessions in the Animus and came to believe that the missing key to their research was an Apple of Eden.

Taking Elisa as his patient, the doctor Florent Carpentier seduced the young woman and convinced her that a surprise visit to her parents in Madrid was a good idea, as being surrounded by people who loved her was the best way to recover her memories. As the Adlers were arguing about Elisa presence in Madrid, with Thomas also noticing the looks between his daughter and Carpentier, Maxime Gorm suddenly appeared in the living room.

To the horror of Elisa, the young man revealed that he was also an amnesiac that her parents had kidnapped and were experimented on in their basement. While the Adlers were trying to explain themselves to their daughter, Carpentier made a quick call to the Brotherhood to let them know that he found Gorm and that he was proceeding to his elimination. Carpentier threw a knife toward Gorm, but the knife instead hit Thomas in the chest, killing him instantly. As he moved toward Elisa, Claire jumped on him and begged Gorm to protect her daughter before the Assassin stabbed her brain with his Hidden Blade.
Деламер

* Портрет
* В игре

**Деламер** *(англ. Delamere)* — спутник главного героя в Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Доступна для вербовки только игрокам, выбравшим мифический путь Лича.

## Игровое описание

*При жизни Деламер была истовой и верной жрицей Эрастила, потому после смерти ее мощи почитались, как священная реликвия. Теперь ее останки и дух осквернены некромантией, но даже это не пошатнуло преданность Деламер. Пусть она не может ослушаться своего/свою нового/новую господина/госпожу или прервать собственное противоестественное существование — но она все равно продолжит почитать Эрастила в своем сгнившем сердце. Хватит ли ее преданности и подвигов, совершенных в войне с демонами, чтобы снискать милость строгого Оленьего бога?*

## Как завербовать

Взять в отряд Деламер могут только игроки, открывшие и выбравшие мифический путь Лича. После этого необходимо построить сначала Зиккурат, а затем стеллу черепов. Именно она укажет на Деламер как на потенциального кандидата в могильную стражу.

После этого необходимо прибыть в локацию Храм Доброй охоты юго-западнее от Дрезена. Внутри необходимо активировать кнопку на алтаре, а затем спуститься в открывшийся проход. Если к этому моменту внутри скелпа будут культисты, то также необходимо расправиться с ними. После этого необходимо активировать саркофаг и в текстовом квесте выбрать реплику лича. Затем, в диалоге с воскресшей Деламер, следует направить её в Зиккурат.

Almogavar

The **Almogavars** were a class of soldiers employed by the Templars during their attempt to revive the Byzantine Empire in the Ottoman Empire in 1511 and 1512.

In Constantinople, the Almogavars mainly appeared in Byzantine-controlled districts. Roughly comparable to Italian Brutes and Colonial Grenadiers, they fought with heavy weapons and wore thick armor, they could not freerun and were significantly slower in combat than other classes of soldiers. Like the Varangians, the Almogavars were employed by the Byzantines. Due to their thick armor, they could not be killed with a single bullet or crossbow bolt.

## Trivia

* Historically, the Almogavars were soldiers of Aragonese origin. They were known to have worked as mercenaries for the Byzantine Empire.
	+ In reality, the Almogavars were light troops, rather than heavily armored axe-wielders. The in-game Almogavars' design actually more resemble the historical Varangians, and vice versa.

* The Almogavars, like the Janissaries - except in some missions - were always found carrying the same weapon: the Almogavar Axe.
* The Almogavar Axe could also be used as a weapon, after completing "The Champion, Part 1" memory, or taking the axe from a dead Almogavar.
* Unlike Brutes in *Assassin's Creed II* and *Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood,* Almogavars could be killed with a counter if their attack was not the overhead smash while using a medium weapon or short blade.
* Almogavars appeared to have a unique weakness to Datura bombs, as evidenced by both the memory "Piri Reis: Datura" and usual gameplay; the poison killed them about twice as fast.
* The etymology of Almogavar is likely to lie in Arabic, with both  *al-maghāwīr‎* ("scout") and *al-muqafir* ("raider" or "devastator") as suggested sources.
Albie Vassell (memory)

## Technical Information

### Description

The middle child of seven, Albie grew up almost entirely forgotten, often simply referred to as "that one" by a neglectful family. Harboring extreme jealousy and a burning need to be heard, he grew up to be wildly competitive in all things. Thus, he took to racing as an outlet for his aggression. Driven by a need to always come out on top, he has been known to kill his way to victory.

## Historical information

### Date

1868

**Albie Vassell** was a virtual representation of one of Jacob Frye and Evie Frye's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.

## Description

Jacob or Evie were tasked with bringing in Albie Vassell.

## Dialogue

* **Businessman:** *I won't do it for, I know how you get.*
* **Vassell:** *How I get? What's that supposed to mean?*
* **Businessman:** *Means you get a bit angry, it does. It's not safe for the other racers.*
* **Vassell:** *Not fair? I'll tell you what isn't fair! It isn't fair living in this infested hole, bein' a top-notch racer and havin' no one to sponsor ya!*
* **Businessman:** *I won't sponsor you until you clean up your act.*
* **Vassell:** *There isn't a rule saying I can't eliminate my competitors!*
* **Businessman:** *Because that's just common sense! You're not getting money from me until you shape up.*
* **Vassell:** *I've got a mind to kill you, I do.*

Jacob or Evie kidnapped Vassell.

* **Vassell:** *Who do you think you are? Get your bloody hands away from me! Help! Police!*
* **Jacob:** *Shh. That's enough.*
* **Vassell:** *Do you attack all innocent civilians as you wander about?*
* **Jacob:** *Innocent? I wouldn't be here if you were innocent.*
* **Vassell:** *There's no harm in a little racing.*
* **Jacob:** *But there is harm in killing your competitors.*

Evie's interaction would be slightly different.

* **Vassell:** *Who do you think you are?*

Get your bloody hands away from me!

Help! Police!

* **Evie:** *Quiet.*

Hush.

* **Vassell:** *What do you want?*
* **Evie:** *Sergeant Abberline says hello.*
* **Vassell:** *Street racing don't warrant the police.*
* **Evie:** *True, but murder does.*

If Vassell shook free, he would react as follows.

* **Vassell:** *Stay out of my personal business!*

This man's trying to attack me!

Ha! Now, piss off!

Get this bloody wench away from me!
Jacob apprehended Vassell once more.

* **Vassell:** *No! Get. Off. Me.*
* **Jacob:** *This isn't going to be easy if you go about like that, mate.*

Evie's interaction would be slightly different.

* **Vassell:** *Oh, for fuck's sake!*
* **Evie:** *Now, where were we?*

Jacob or Evie forced Vassell into a carriage.

* **Vassell:** *Get me out of here!*

Jacob or Evie delivered Vassell to Abberline.

* **Abberline:** *Struggles with inferiority, that one. Ah well, to the station we go.*

## Outcome

Vassell was delivered to the authorities.
Alonzo Batilla's mother

**Alonzo Batilla's mother** was a French woman who gave birth to Alonzo Batilla in the 1690s. Alonzo would later become an infamous pirate in the Caribbean.

During Alonzo's time as a pirate, she wrote a letter to her son, telling him about her illness and asking him to return home. Before the letter could be delivered by a friend of one of Alonzo's relatives, it was lost at sea, but was eventually recovered by Alonzo.
Albertine Marat

*"I'd be lying if I said I was heartbroken. Jean-Paul drove my lover away! So overprotective, and with all the enemies he's made in Paris I was living in constant terror!"*
―Albertine on her brother, 1793.
**Charlotte Albertine Marat** (June 1760 - 29 October 1841) was the sister of leading Jacobin politician Jean-Paul Marat.

Overprotective of his sister, Marat disapproved of Albertine's lover and drove him away. Due to Marat's revolutionary ideals, Albertine and the family was also put in constant fear of reprisal from his enemies. After Marat was assassinated, Arno Dorian questioned Albertine, who claimed not to be affected by his death, having lost her lover and lived in fear because of him.
Always an End

**Always an End** was a virtual representation of one of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's genetic memories, relived through the Animus.

## Description

After killing Harash in Alep, Altaïr traveled to the docks of Tyre to rescue Adha.

## Dialogue

* **Templar:** *Do you think you can take on an army by yourself, Assassin? Such a fate lies beyond this gate! And now, there is no way back for you!*
* **Altaïr:** *Enough of your threats, Templar! Where is she? Where is Adha?*
* **Templar:** *You'll never live to figure that out!*

Altaïr killed the guards and proceeded to the docks.

* **Altaïr:** *On to the ship now; Adha is waiting.*

Eliminating guards along the way, Altaïr ran towards the ship.

* **Guard:** *Block his path... Launch the boat.*
* **Archer:** *Archers, take aim!*

Altaïr made it past the archers and guards, eventually nearing Adha.

* **Adha:** *Altaïr!*
* **Altaïr:** *Adha! Basilisk! Where are you taking her?*
* **Basilisk:** *You will find out soon enough, Assassin...*

Altaïr chased Basilisk, eventually catching up to him on a ship across Adha's.

* **Basilisk:** *So we meet again! This time, it WILL be our last encounter!*
* **Altaïr:** *Damn you, Basilisk! Come now, let's get this over with!*

Altaïr battled Basilisk, finally killing the man. Adha's boat left shortly after, leaving Altaïr on the docks.

* **Adha:** *Altaïr!*
* **Altaïr:** *Adha! I'll find you, Adha!*

## Outcome

Altaïr managed to kill Lord Basilisk, but was forced to watch on as Adha's ship sailed into the sunset.

Alfred Stearns

**Alfred Stearns** (born c. 1930) is a member of the Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order and a retired employee of Abstergo Industries. Following his retirement, he was replaced as Head of Operations by fellow Inner Sanctum member Laetitia England.

## Biography

In 2000, Stearns personally oversaw the "Great Purge," an operation to exterminate all Assassin camps and safehouses, following the return of the Templar sleeper agent Daniel Cross to Abstergo's Philadelphia facility.

Using Daniel's memories obtained from him via interrogation, Stearns sent teams of Templars dressed in military fatigues to the various Assassin hideouts Daniel had visited. In Philadelphia, the Taurus team discovered a hidden chamber underneath an Assassin safehouse disguised as a Chinese laundromat.

In October 2016, he was present at Simon Hathaway's induction into the Inner Sanctum and watched his presentation for a new direction to the Historical Research Division, and in turn, the Templar Order. Ten days later, Stearns was present at another meeting with the members of the Inner Sanctum, which was interrupted by Hathaway, causing some tension among the members.

Stearns and the rest listened to Hathaway's retelling of the Sword of Eden's history, Hathaway's ancestor and Jacques de Molay's vision for the Templar Order. None attempted to wield it and he remained silent along with Alan Rikkin, David Kilkerman and Álvaro Gramática after having witnessed the Sword of Eden activated. It ended with laughter after Rikkin asked for his sword back.

In March 2017, the Inner Sanctum invited the new Black Cross to a meeting in Quebec, during which Alfred was present. Displeased that he auto-proclaimed himself their inquisitor, they threatened him and demanded to know his identity. The masked man responded that he came only as a courtesy, to inform them that he was investigating a hostile fifth column within the Order. After affirming his independence, the Black Cross dropped a smoke bomb and disappeared.

## Personality and characteristics

Stearns viewed Daniel Cross as Abstergo's asset. Despite the objections of Dr. Sung, he was willing to risk Cross' life, in order to gain information required for the start of the Great Purge.
Aliki Quarry

*"It's no Mount Pentelikos, but this marble is impressive."*
―Kassandra

The **Aliki Quarry** is an ancient marble quarry located on the Cape Marmaron on the island of Thasos, Greece. It is the highest point offered a good view of the whole quarry.

During the Peloponnesian War the quarry was visited by the Spartan *misthios* Kassandra.
Мировая язва

**Мировая язва** *(ориг. Worldwound)* - это территория западнее Мендева, представляющая из себя пустыню с расколотой землей и множеством магических аномалий. Является основным местом действия Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

## География

География Мировой язвы представляет собой отвратительное, изменчивое явление, с особенностями земли, меняющимися на глазах у зрителя. Эта текучесть формы ухудшается по мере приближения к фактическому разрыву в центре этой области. Тонкая завеса между Голарионом и Великим Запредельным полностью разорвалась, и демонические чудовища выползают из глубин Бездны. В отдаленных уголках Мировой Раны, где она граничит с окружающим миром, эта нестабильность утихает.
Amyklai Farm

The **Amyklai Farm** was a settlement located within Forest of Eurotas in Lakonia, Greece.

Said to have been the home of the king of Sparta Tyndareus and his illustrious sons Kastor and Polydeukes, the location was known for its fruit trees.

During the Peloponnesian War, the farm was run by Lanike, and at the behest of Xanthe, the magistrate of Pitana, the Spartan *misthios* Kassandra visited the farm, as well as its blacksmith.
Alektryon

**Alektryon** is a figure in Greek mythology.

By 431 BCE, a location on a small island south of Naxos Island was named after him. Though apparently a fisherman's hut, by the time the Spartan *misthios* Kassandra reached it, its human inhabitants had died, and the site had become a den of chickens, led by a rooster.

## Trivia

* ᾰ̓λεκτρῠών (*alektruṓn*) is the Greek word meaning 'chicken, rooster'.
* In Greek mythology, Alektryon was a soldier charged by the god Ares to stand guard while Ares and the goddess Aphrodite had a dalliance. Alektryon however fell asleep, and thus failed to notify the couple of the approaching Helios in time. As a punishment, Ares turned Alektryon into a rooster to henceforth always announce the rising of the sun (Helios).
* It is possible to run into a mercenary called Alektryon the Rooster in *Assassin's Creed: Odyssey,* who is accompanied by a chicken/rooster.
Anen (Saisian)

**Anen** (died 48 BCE) was an Egyptian woman who lived in Sapi-Res Nome during the 1st century BCE.

At some point during 48 BCE, Wenis and her son were smuggled out of Sais by Jeska, in order to keep them safe from "cowards like the Scarab and Sefetu."

However, Sefetu's men attacked Jeska's own village, Mefkat, where she'd hidden all the people she'd smuggled out. Almost all the people within were either killed by the blades of Sefetu's men, or the fires they'd set.
Книга Минотавра: проповеди из Лабиринта

**Книга Минотавра: проповеди из Лабиринта** (англ. Tome of the Minotaur: Sermons from the Labyrinth) — внутриигровая книга в Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Является учебником, который при прочтении дает бонус +1 к попаданию и урону глефой, как если бы у затронутого существа было Мастерство владения глефой. Найти её можно в Охранном лабиринте в Прологе.

## Текст

*О, сколь велик наш господин, устрашающий и сладчайший! Тело его — твердыня плоти, воздвигшаяся над всеми минотаврами! Главу его, с ликом козла, венчает корона рогов пылающих! Украшены плечи его и одежды его — великие руны начертаны на них, ибо он владыка мудрый и знающий. В длани своей держит он Айзергхайл, смертельную алую глефу! Темный клинок кромсает и мучает тех, кто упорствует в лживой добродетели и пресмыкается перед богами.*

*Славься, Бафомет! Славься, Владыка тварей голарионских и Повелитель лабиринтов! Славься семя Бафомета, могучая рать, неисчислимая в количествах!*

*Истинно говорю вам — падите ниц перед властелином своим, и пусть воля его ведет вас! Припадите к стопам его и обрящете желанное!*
Alban Hills

The **Alban Hills** (Italian: *Colli Albani)* are a region of volcanic hills located 20 kilometers southeast of Rome, Italy.

## History

The dominant peak of the Alban Hills, Monte Cavo, has two lesser calderas, containing Lake Albano and Lake Nemi. Roman generals frequently used its summit after victories during the time when doing so was illegal in Rome itself.

By the early 1500s, Cesare Borgia had established a weapons factory in the area, manufacturing chariot-mounted machine guns designed by Leonardo da Vinci. In 1502, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze broke into the factory, burning the machine's plans and destroying the two prototype machines.

Akriai

**Akriaia** was a small village southeast of Sparta, located in the southeastern hills of Lakonia, Greece.

The village was home to the *perioikoi,* a group of Spartan 'subcitizens' who lived in the rural communities of Lakonia and Messenia. During the Peloponnesian War the village was visited by the Spartan *misthios* Kassandra.
Akashic Satellite Plexus

The **Akashic Satellite Plexus** was launched in 2008, and appeared to simply be a collection of communications, weather, and observation satellites. The plexus was heavily shielded, in order to remain functional in the face of predicted solar flares.

The plexus also had scramblers that prevented standard satellite imagery from effectively pinpointing the Abstergo campus' various facilities.

On December 21 2012, Abstergo Industries intended to launch the Eye-Abstergo satellite into the plexus, which was meant to amplify the powers of an Apple of Eden.

Though the Assassins believed Abstergo would use it to control the world, this was denied in their internal documents for their top agents, and emphasis was placed on the plexus becoming able to locate "individuals with potential."

## Trivia

* Akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning "aether."
Amenhotep (Clerk)

*"Horus bestow everlasting life upon the most trusted clerk Amenhotep. When it came time to serve his lord into the Reed Fields he did so willingly. He was bestowed with strength, endurance, joy, health, and all happiness."*
―Inscription on a scroll next to Amenhotep's mummy.
**Amenhotep** was an Egyptian man who served as the most trusted clerk of the nomarch Tefibi III.

After his death, his body was mummified and buried in a chamber within the Nomarch's Tomb in the Black Desert. Years later in the mid-1st century BCE, his mummy was found by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa.

Ancient Stronghold

The **Ancient Stronghold** was a fort in the Green City on the island of Lemnos, Greece. Once a fort occupied by the military, it had been abandoned by the time the Cult of Kosmos found the place. The Cult occupied the fort, stationing a sizable force there.

Aigisthos

**Aigisthos**, also transliterated as **Aegisthus**, was a King of Mycenae in Greek mythology.

During his lifetime, Aigisthos owned a palace that, by the 5th century BCE, had sunk off the cost of Argolis. This palace was explored by the Spartan *misthios* Kassandra during the Peloponnesian War.

## Trivia

* In Greek mythology, Aigisthos was the lover of Clytemnestra, Agamemnon's wife and sister to Helen of Troy. The two killed Agamemnon upon his return from Troy, to avenge the sacrifice of Iphigenia ten years earlier. He was later killed by Orestes, Agamemnon's son.
Akrisios

**Akrisios** was the King of Argos and the father of Danae, and through her, the grandfather of he hero Perseus.

## Biography

The Delphic Oracle prophesied that King Akrisios would be killed by his own grandson, and in response Akrisios locked his only child, his daughter Danae, in a room of bronze. He did not take into consideration the god Zeus, who saw Danae's beauty, and visited her in the form of golden rain.

In fullness of time, Danae gave birth to a boy. Still fighting the prophecy, Akrisios shut Danae and her baby into a crate and cast it to the sea, hoping the sea would stay them. Instead, the fisherman Diktys found them, and took them under his wing, raising Perseus.

After his various adventures, Perseus returned to Argos and participated in games. When he threw a discus, it flew into the stands and struck Akrisios, killing him by accident.
