  • @Longshanks1690
    @Longshanks1690 6 лет назад +1719

    I think the most logical answer is Cain.
    His mark is the Templar Cross, and his actions personify Templar ideology - perusal of power by any means necessary, up to and including fratricide.
    It's clear that Adam and Eve are the "proto-Assassins," if you will. The first ones to believe in Mankind's freedom and independence from the Isu. Abel was likely their "golden son" and Cain the black sheep of their family.
    My theory is that Cain desired power over what remained of mankind, and was prepared to go to any length to achieve this aim, which included the murder of Abel. In doing so, those who followed him afterwards worshipped him as a leader, a guardian and a font of wisdom -a Father of Understanding.
    Over the generations, it became a phrase of little consequence for his followers all the way up to the Order or the Ancients and the Templar Order. They are the successors of his idea of dominance and control of mankind, and are willing to use his same ruthless methods to achieve that control.
    Most Anicents and Templars would have no idea who Cain is as he passed into myth, and most like the Borgia probably don't believe he ever existed, but he is the origin of their Order and ideals, and it is to he that they beg for knowledge and comfort.

    • @MachinaX7
      @MachinaX7 6 лет назад +52

      I think Cain is the proto assassin because what if it was Able who trying to control mankind and Cain tried to stop him? Also is it proven the Templar cross is Cain's mark or could his Mark be the Assassin's symbol?

    • @itsarcelle
      @itsarcelle 6 лет назад +74

      Clay referred to the Templar Cross as the Mark of Cain. All we know other than that is that Cain killer Able for the latter’s AoE.

    • @Longshanks1690
      @Longshanks1690 6 лет назад +55

      Stryker A. Wolfe Um, Adam and Eve in AC aren't the first creations of Yahweh, they were the first Humans to reject the Isu.
      I'm not speaking from a Christian perspective - I'm telling you that Adam and Eve existed in the AC timeline and this was their role.
      Look at The Truth from AC II.
      ruclips.net/video/A-bibDttnQE/видео.html
      "ADAM, I have it."
      These two are clearly Adam and Eve, and they were the first human beings to escape the control of the Isu and fight for mankin's liberation.
      My theory is also supported by The Truth puzzles from the same game.
      ruclips.net/video/mLSiKSrmLic/видео.html (Go to 13:00)
      Clay calls the Templar cross "the mark of Cain."
      Now, we don't know the specifics regarding this family or the Human-Isu War, but what I believe regarding what we know is that after the Great Cataclysm, Adam and Eve died and their shared followers believed in a world of perpetual peace and happiness.
      But their Sons disagreed on how this should be achieved - their son Abel believed in freedom to choose, it was why Humanity had fought the Isu in the first place, and why he was given the POE by their parents.
      Cain thought differently and thought Mankind was destined to serve, to always want slavery. If not to the Isu, then to better humans. And he was prepared to murder his brother to achieve this end.
      Their respective followers were the first Templars and Assassins, battling over a perpetual conflict since the dawn of Human Civilization.
      Why you bring the Sumerians into this and Etana is utterly beyond me and has no correlation with AC lore, as far as I can tell. The fact that the "Templars" called themselves the "Order of Ancients" has nothing to do with whether this is their origin or not.
      As I said, the Ancients and Templars don't know their own history in this regard and have forgotten why they battle one another.
      And doubtless, the Order played it's part in the formation of Sumeria - but they also predate it, as do the "Hidden Ones."
      As Manuel Palaiologos said "beneath these trappings, all Templars are part of the same family."
      They exist outside Sumeria and Egypt. Outside Rome and Carthage. Outside England and France. Outside Unionist and Confederate. There are only Assassins and Templars.
      And the Templars get their mark from Cain - the first to realise that Humanity needed guidance and leadership. The first one to understand that Humanity needed purpose if it was to survive.
      Cain was the Father of Understanding. I can see no alternative.

      As it stands, and correct me if I'm wrong, there's no established head of the templar order.
      Sooo, it's possible that the Father of Understanding is that highest authority in the order. It qould male sense, seeing as the Assassins have a Mentor, and only one Mentor.

    The entire series is generally pretty heavily based on a sort of Gnosticism and Theosophy.

    After playing AC: Odessey, I think the Father of Understanding is their ideal leader, a philosopher-king. When Ceaser was called the Father of Understanding, I think the Ancients saw him as their ideal ruler until he was killed. Over time since Ceaser's death, the Father of Understanding has turned into a mythical being, their Christ-like figure if you will. This is why Templars say, "May the Father of Understanding guide you" instead of saying "God bless you" for an example.

Now that would be a worth while story in this game. Even with multiple endings because what I just mentioned can be one of those endings.

      Zale Oceanrunner---I won't deny that is possible but it's not the most dramatic creation of the saying. How Bayek created the most iconic words and sayings that is synonymous with the Assassin's is quite dramatic. And I figure who the Templar saying "The Father of Understanding" will come abut int a really dramatic fashion more so than your explanation.

      Engin, the Term 'Father' could be alot of things. It could be that Egyptian Wisdom God who could have been believed to be the Father of Knowledge, with Knowledge you have Understanding. So basically the 'Term' Father could be used for a Male who is a Creator of something and is technically the 'Father'.

    I believe that the Father of Understanding would most likely be King Philip II of Macedon. Reason being is because he used bribery, order, threats and warfare to keep his kingdom in one piece. He understood what it took to keep his empire together by using any means necessary. The Templars/Order of the Ancients used the same methods to keep everything in check to keep their empire from falling.

  • @SignumInterriti

    I actually take Septimius on his word that Ceasar is the father of understanding. Aside from my beeing a massive fan of Julius Caesar, here is my reasoning:
    1) Origins isn't the first mention of Caesars. He is widely referenced to in Brotherhood through the letters of Brutus, so his significance to the lore was made clear very early in the series.
    2) There is no mention of the FoU in Odyssey, whereas Orignis provides the actual origin storys of both the Assassin and Templar Orders. Insn't it plausible, that Caesar beeing the leading influence on the Templars by the time of their emergence would also have become the rolemodel for the order ever since?
    3) Moreover, at the end of Origins the pyramid of Proto-Templars are all dead and so is Caesar. Still, the Templars live on, which makes me think that just as any other time an assassin seemingly exterminated the Templars, only the regional rite, the egyptian rite/Order of the Ancients in this case, was eliminated, not the whole organisation. I could even imagine Ceasar beeing the one to unify regional secret kabals all over the ancient world into one order with a shared philosophy.

    The father of understanding is a reference to Baphomet, a deity that the Knights emplars were accused to follow.
    It repressents the balance between good and evil, male and female, beasts and humans.
    In AC Unity Arno investigates the "Cult of Baphomet" and the Password was "May the father of understanding guide us".

  • @jimsus69
    @jimsus69 5 лет назад +3

    I thought the father of understanding was describing the male Isu, as I they appear in a ghost like form to Connor. . He actually refers to Juno as a spirit and I assumed that's where the term the son, the father, and the holy ghost in religious doctrine, came from.
    So by that I assume the father of understanding is a loose term from those Isu hologram kind of things that the chosen see in the tombs etc. Or when they kill a target of significance.
    In black flag when Edward talks to the soppy assassin (can't remember his name) but he staggers drunk and Edward has to keep him safe.. and during that scene he says.. "the son, the father, and the holy.. I can never remember the next bit."
    And as I have said the bit he forgot, is significant to pointing out the messages they receive from "the holy ghost/spirit"
    So I assume anyone with the right anomaly blood line sees "the holy ghost" whenever they kill someone or do something significant to the wishes of the Isu and are blessed with a "trip to the nexus" in the earlier games it was a man ( I forget his name) and Juno who guide the people with the right blood line genetic anomaly.
    Cos although alot of the "tainted ones" bloodline do have gifts but all of them seem to be different so I assume not all of them even have special gifts.
    Or at least not ones of the same kind.
    So I assumed this trip to the nexus is what they consider a "divine" message from the "holy ghost"

    The answer isn’t so complex, the Proto templars we’re trying to make the leaders of the world understand their ideology. Caesar being the usurper and autocratic leader of Rome most likely had the same beliefs of control over freedom. Since Caesar wasn’t in the order, but like a sponsor of them, the title means exactly what it says. He is the first (the father) to understand the Templar mindset. And they probably give him his god like status because he was considered god like to Rome. And every Templar should be aspired to be in the position of the world that Caesar had. To be an emperor or dictator of the world

    It could be both an idea and a person. Similar to the idea of Roman Emperor after the fall of Rome. (discounting Byzantine empire) Charlemagne was given the title to represent his authority and then various people and organisations would be declared successors to Rome.
    Ceasar was The Father of Understanding at the time because he embodied the ideas of the role. He may not have been the first or the last but he was the manifest of the Templar Order/ Ancients.

If we are to believe it, what if in one life, Desmond didn't touch the orb, time got old, life starts again, Desmond is reborn when the time of the apocalypse is near again, so he must make the choice again, and when he dies, it only postpones the apocalypse. If we are told it would happen again, and again, why is it such a wild idea to belive there was a entire time line where the Isu temples aren't open, but life rebuilds... only to need to restart.

    I don't know if this is interesting to anyone, but the Templars are obviously based on the real world Knights Templar... and perhaps even more on the ideology of Freemasonry. In real life Templarism (which is a description used in socioloy to describe this belief), the "Father of Understanding" is called the "Grand Architect of the Universe". This belief is very simular to the one seen in the games;
    - It's not a specific "god" or God himself, but a common understanding and acceptance that something made the universe, and its laws.
    - These laws equals physics, - how nature works and functions.
    - It's up to the individual to define this architectural "force" of the universe, so you can belive whatever you want in other words (as long as you accept point 1)
    - The Grand Architect of the Universe is universal to all religions... a Templar cannot claim that his/her beliefs are more correct or wrong than any other ideology.
    - The Architect designed the laws, but then abandoned the universe (sort of). Think of it as a computer program: written by a programmer, but the program itself cannot interact with the programmer.
    I think that the "Father of Understanding" is more or less copied from real life Templarism, and their "Grand Architect of the Univsrse". In that case, they've done a good job.

      2. The real history doesn't matter the Assassin's Creed games tell their own story which includes a whole lot of sci-fi and secret societies that obviously don't exist in real life.
      3. I don't know a lot about the history of the Crusades but I'm sure both sides had their reasons for fighting and had good and evil people within their ranks. I'm also not a religious man myself so if you ask me who's right I would either say neither or I don't know.
      4. You disrespect the first and one of the better Assassin's Creed protagonists because you're either biased towards Templar's or you're Racist against Arabs/Muslim (Which he isn't because he's Atheist) either way just shut the fuck up if you can't show respect towards Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.
      5. Have no idea where your comment is even coming from all I said was "the father of understanding" is Baphomet which is proven in Unity without qeustion it's not God their talking about it's this other figure.
      (Which in real life the Knight's Templar were in fact *ACCUSED* not proven but definitely accused by the French to worship Baphomet.)
      6. Don't take the portrayal of Templar's in Assassin's Creed so personally in this series it's been proven time and again their nothing like the real life Templar's (The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon) were a deeply religious faction, Where in the games since the first one they've had open Atheism (something that doesn't even exist until hundreds of years later) in their ranks, So like I said the games tell their own story.

    it probably just meant the saint of understanding because of the templar roots with the crusades, they loved a saint.

    Maybe it’s supposed to refer to the order it’s self or whoever is the leader at the time or just whatever every individual wants it to be

    I remember that phrase in the original game, but why do I feel like not every other player didn’t read everything Altair pickpocketed? As soon as you take control of Altair, pause the game and look at the DNA. It’s like Altair’s journal. What is said at the start is different after the update. Rumor has it the original game will get a remake, let’s have a database on everything please

    There should be Assassin's Creed: Templar Origins. And that could explain everything.

    Baphomet, this is just from my knowledge of real history and another reason that may or may not be involved with the letters M and G. Also Baphomet in some sources is literally referred to as “the father of understanding”

    I figure were gonna find out in Odyssey because the hidden ones didn’t exist before bayek and aya so odyssey has to be about where the templars came from the order of ancients predates all other groups

    Someone told me the first leader of templars was sinking in sea after a sea battle a man in a boat helps him on the way to land he shared many stories about why are Assassins and templars are fighting if they will all die some day and then they go to sleep suddenly he opens his eyes on land and the boat and the man was vanished he left a letter behind"only fight when you now what is you are fighting for and fight is not always the solution may the father of understanding guide you"

    Hmmmm..... I agree that Caesar couldn't have been this supposed father of understanding. If that really was the first time it was used in the canon timeline long before the Templars officially started, it maybe been him at first, but then the more it was used, the more the source and meaning became muddled to the point of just being a prayer. Maybe whatshisname saw Caesar as the FOU, but that quickly died after the man was put down

    Maybe Father of Understanding is a state of mind? How they perceive a way of thinking that transcends the confines of common morality for the ‘greater good’. “May the Father of Understanding guide us” maybe them reminding themselves to achieve this mindset before enacting a scheme so that no action is without purpose.

    Everyone asks who is the father of understanding or what is the father of understanding. But nobody asks how is the father of understanding?
