What is assassin's creed about?

Answer 1

*WARNING* If you haven't played the games and you want to, don't read ahead as I will spoil the entire storyline. *SPOILER STARTS HERE*

The Assassin's Creed Series is about a man called Desmond Miles who ran away from his parents and went to a place called 'The Farm' and was raised as a modern day assassin there. A few years later, Desmond is captured by these people called the Templars which are Desmond's enemies in the game and the 'Templars' are looking for certain objects called the 'Pieces of Eden'.

At the start of the first Assassin's Creed game you start in a machine in the 'Animus' which has the ability to project Desmond's mind into his ancestors i.e; 'Altair Ibn-Al Ahad' who lives in Israel & Syria which is the person you play as. At the start of Assassin's Creed 2 your friend Lucy Stillman (Also and Assassin) frees you from the hands of the Templars and takes you to the Assassin's first hideout which has another machine called the 'Animus 2.0' and two other assassin's whose names I have forgotten. In the Animus 2.0 you play as 'Ezio Auditore Da Firenze in Italy'.

During Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Desmond & co. have been compromised by the Templars and drive to there second hideout which they call 'The Cabin'. when you once again get into the Animus 2.0 you play as Ezio where you left off at the end of Assassin's Creed 2. That is all the information I can tell you or else i will ruin the story for you but if you want to find out buy the game!

Answer 2

Assassins Creed is about a feud between 2 sets: the Templars and the Assassins. The Templars are fighting for control of the Pieces of Eden, powerful devices from the early times that will grant them powers beyond anyone's control. It is now the year 2012, and the Assassins are disappearing. A company called Abstergo, which happens to be ran by the Templars, discover an assassin named Desmond Miles, and capture him. They believe he is the key to finding the Apple of Eden, and the only way to find the location is to dig into his ancestor's memories. To do this, Desmond is hooked up to a machine known as the Animus. Inside, he gains control of the memories of his ancestor named Altair. Throughout these memories, the Templars force Desmond to find information that can lead them to the Apple. The head assassin, Al Mualim, recovers the Apple that Altair finds, but uses its power for his own use. Altair defeats him, and discovers that there are 28 more pieces scattered across the world. Abstergo sends a team to recover as many pieces as possible, and leaves Desmond to die. The credits fade as Desmond discovers the "bleeding effect" caused by the Animus, and sees symbols drawn in blood on the walls and floors.
