Desmond Miles can be considered to be the true protaganist in Assassin's Creed.

The story starts off with flashes of Altair in an odd cloudy room. After about five minutes, Desmond wakes up to find himself on top of a machine and two figures with lab coats near him. He has no recolection of getting to where he is now and is told that he is being held captive. When he questions why, the answer he recieves is somewhat unbelieveable.

He is told that he has information that someone needs, that he is an assassin, or moreover that his ancestors were. They tell him that the machine he was in is called an Animus. It helps reanimate genetic memory. He is then told that it is believed that DNA is capable of recording memories of past relatives and that his were assassins.
