The Templars
The Templars are the recurring antagonists of the series, based on the Knights Templar.
The Templar Order is a secret society that principally chooses to infiltrate and control pre-existing political institutions, such as the Roman Senate; and the Byzantine Empire; during the Crusades the Templar's existed as the unusually conspicuous Order of the Knights Templar (based on the real-world Knights Templar), while during the Renaissance, they were centered around the Papacy and the Borgia family.
During the 20th and 21st centuries, the public face of the Order became Abstergo Industries, a monastic military order-turned-corporate giant.
Much like the Assassins, the Templars have existed through the entirety of recorded human history.
They are a secret society of people whose only goal is "save humanity from itself."
To achieve their goal, the Templar's plan to obtain the Pieces of Eden, which will allow them to control human minds.
The Templars control the flow of the modern world through political, scientific, cultural, intelligence, economic, and "secret history" means.
Dr. Warren Vidic's recent invention of the Animus has allowed the Templars to acquire vast knowledge via their consumer's ancestors (whom are deceived in believing that they are playing "video games"), while simultaneously altering evidences, motivations, and decision-making processes surrounding historical events and suppressing objective facts in order to sway public opinions in their favor.
The Templars sought to create a perfect world, although the means by which they aimed to do so - through force, control and the destruction of free will - directly contrasted the ideals of their sworn enemies, the Assassin Order.
Because of this difference in ideology, the Templars became involved in a covert war against the Assassins, spanning centuries, with their opposition's motivating belief being that mankind should always have the ability to choose; to have the freedom of liberty, even if it meant accepting that humanity would always be flawed in their ways.
The New World Order was the ultimate goal for the Templar Order, a concept of worldwide peace for humanity under the control and supervision of the Templars, with the stated ideology that advocates "security" over "freedom".
For centuries, the Templars engaged in a secret war with the Assassins – who believed that humanity could achieve peace using free will – in order to achieve the New World Order.
When the Templars founded Abstergo Industries in 1937, the company managed to manipulate and puppeteer many important political figures to pursue their own goals.
Governed by the belief that humankind needed order, discipline, and control in order to mask its barbaric nature, the Templars planned to create a new world in which they possessed absolute control.
The proclaimed new world seemed to be based on a Utopian ideal, a world completely free of bigotry.
However, the Templars also emphasized the establishment of a small geniocratic ruling elite, who would control all aspects of civilization; from culture and education, to military force and food distribution.
The Templars' rule would be one of authoritarianism and so-called "benign tyranny," as although they would systematically eliminate discrimination, racism, poverty, and the petty machinations of the warlords and princes of the time, they would simply replace that disordered chaos with their own arbitrary orders.
At its core, the Templars' goal of order was very similar to the Creed of their enemies, the Assassins.
However, the latter sought peace through the education of the people, rather than through their control.
"The Great Purge" referred to an Abstergo Industries operation, with the intent to ensure the global eradication of the Assassin Order.
After Daniel Cross, a Templar sleeper agent who had infiltrated the Order, was allowed to meet The Mentor of the Assassins in Dubai, CE 2000, he acted upon an impulse implanted into his brain by Abstergo to kill The Mentor.
Successful in his objective, Daniel returned to Abstergo's Philadelphia facility and revealed the locations of all the Assassin camps and safe-houses he had come into contact with over the previous two years, after which Abstergo initiated "The Great Purge;" the elimination of the Assassin's global network.
Nearly all Assassins within their compounds, including children, were subjected to targeted killings and/or massacred by private military agents under order of Abstergo Industries.
While the operation was a victory for the Templars, and the Assassins never recovered, Daniel had not visited a number of off-the-grid settlements, allowing them to remain unscathed; the few remaining Assassins were forced into hiding, and from then on, remained under the radar, operating in small four-man cells to avoid being tracked down and eliminated.
The Denver International Airport satellite accident, or simply the DIA satellite accident, was an incident that took place at Denver International Airport in the early 21st century, that resulted in a large number of casualties and the destruction of one of the First Civilization's Pieces of Eden – an Apple of Eden – which was held by Abstergo Industries at the time.
Dr. Warren Vidic was responsible for preparing the final report for the incident, which indicated that the Abstergo Project Lead at Denver had killed everyone there before the company's clean-up crew had arrived.
At least one civilian, believed to have been a baggage handler at the time, found out about the incident.
By September 4, 2012, this survivor threatened to expose Abstergo's involvement in the event.
