Thanks for this! I remember how confused I was in 3 when I kept running into some never before mentioned schizo and then he died so anticlimactically. I assumed we would get his back story with the next game but then black flag happened.
Not when you see him willingly go to a Abstergo building to deal with his pain, instead of having faith in telling Hannah of what happened or just coming up with a Lie bout his Past, cus he could have fought the Templars, so he made his choice in the end. Not denying he had no control in the beginning, but like Jack from Bioshock 1, he had the Freedom to decide their final fate.
This happens around 1999 and 2000. Its a little vague in its placement. But its long before Assassin's Creed 1. That other subject Desmond heres about that wrote the stuff on the walls. That guy is this guy.
It is a cult, but that doesn't exactly mean all the assassins are cult members. You can notice that our favorite assassins, the ones we play as (Ezio, Connor, Edward, etc.), are strictly not just assassins. If they were, then they would be bad guys and it would be hard for us to root for them. They are likable because they have their own unique agendas and character arcs. Ezio wanted to rid his homeland of the Borgias' corruption, Connor wanted his people's oppression to end, and Edward just wanted money to survive. Altair is the only assassin that was solely dedicated to the Assassin cause. Altair is first introduced with him killing an innocent old man and not caring because "he was in the way", but Altair did eventually learn to be a good guy after discovering the assassins were corrupted themselves, and he hid the Apple of Eden away so no one else is corrupted by it. The Assassins and Templars both see their enemy as morally black and white inhumans, but they see their own side as righteous heroes and also creating separation of any discussion between the two groups. This is classic cult behavior. Some Assassins and some Templars would have probably been good friends but instead they actively choose to kill each other because their team has hated the other side for centuries. Arno and Elise fell in love even though he was an assassin and she was a Templar. Ultimately, I side with the goals of the assassins because they value critical thinking, individuality, and the pursuit of truth, which is what the fight for. Whereas Templars fight for order and control by giving up other people's individual freedoms. On paper, the assassins are the good guys, but once they stop caring about individual people's lives, then they stop being assassins and act like Templars (for example, when Shay's assassin friends killed a bunch of innocents by accident but they were all cool with it because their "mission was for the greater good"). As long as they don't get lost too deep in the sauce and also understand the perspective of the Templars, then they are not a cult.

Technically speaking, he got mentioned indirectly in Revelations, when saun said "what if desmond is brainwashed, it's ever happened before"
Thanks for this. This is exactly what i was looking for
We need the order of assassins back in real life.
Daniel was always a victim of fate in his own story.

Damn, you narrated that so well
After the purge of many assassin cells It’s good that the order has been rebuilding since then.
This is great. I’m replying the series right now.
I had that first one ....gamestop
I need more..
What timeline is this in? After brotherhood?

@@comicstorianActually the guy who Desmond was referring to who wrote on the walls of his cell was Clay Kaczmarek (Subject 16).
Daniel was Subject 4.
The assassin's are kinda a cult tho
