The Assassin–Templar War is a secret, ideological millennial conflict that has shaped the course of human history from the shadows. Spanning from 75,000 BCE to the modern era, this ideological and military struggle pits two powerful factions against each other, each fighting for the future of humanity but through diametrically opposed philosophies. While conventional history records the rise and fall of empires, world wars, and technological revolutions, the true driving force behind many of these events has been the shadow war between the Assassins and Templars globally. The conflict is not a simple battle between good and evil, but rather an intense philosophical debate fought with steel, shadows, and corporate power. The Medjay Bayek from Egypt and his wife Aya, now as Amunet, from Rome founded the Hidden Ones, the Assassin Brotherhood is a secret global peacekeeping organization. heir core philosophy centers on the preservation of absolute free will and individuality. They believe that humanity must be free to choose its own path, even if that path includes making mistakes to minimize collateral damage, they utilize stealth, espionage, and selective violence. They target specific perpetrators of tyranny, oppression, and injustice while abiding by a strict prohibition against harming innocent lives. The Templars believe that humanity is inherently flawed, chaotic, and self-destructive. Their ultimate goal is to usher in a New World Order, a perfect, global society characterized by absolute peace, stability, and order. The Templars believe true peace can only be achieved by stripping away free will and establishing a centralized world government, to achieve this by manipulating political states, steering economies, and controlling society from behind the scenes. In the 20th century, the Templar Order adapted to the shifting dynamics of global power by transitioning from a shadow political regime into a massive corporate empire to develop The Plan of 1910. Abstergo Industries serves as the primary front for modern Templar operations, founded by Henry Ford and Ransom Eli. Olds in 1937. Today, it stands as one of the largest and most influential multinational conglomerates in the world by Abstergo's predecessors, the Templars have secretly funded and directed the majority of human technological advancement over the past millennium. By controlling technology, data, and global infrastructure, the modern Templar Order continues its quest to subtly direct human evolution and maintain absolute control over global society. This eternal struggle, waged between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order, predates recorded time, stretching back to the catastrophic dawn of human rebellion against the Isu. While humanity chronicles its history through the rise and fall of empires, those who fight this war know that every crusade, revolution, and world war was merely a proxy battleground for a much deeper struggle: the fight for the soul and destiny of humankind had fundamentally an architectural clash of philosophies regarding human nature.
