 * b. Kawab becomes Balthazar the Magi and assassinates Herod the Great, a Templar.
 * c. During his “lost years” Jesus travels alongside the “Beloved Disciple”, who comes from an Assassin family. They visit the Magi representing the three different faction who try to recruit Jesus later on.

 * d. Once back in Judea Jesus preforms his miracles via alchemy and the Shroud.
 * e. He attracts converts from all three factions including Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot from the Sicarii, an Assassin affiliated group, and Mary Magdalene, either a Templar or Instrument.
 * f. The Templars in Rome wary of Jesus’s growing influence and the fact that his followers possessed multiple Pieces of Eden, a Shroud with Jesus, a Staff with John the Baptist, and a Sword with Simon Peter, send an agent to Judea with the Devotion Prong. It is used to cause Judas to betray Jesus and steal both the Shroud and the Sword. It is also used to turn the populace against Jesus and fix his trial.
 * g. The Assassins also sent an agent, St. Longinus, a relative of Gaius Cassius Longinus, who with the help of the “Beloved Disciple” steal the Devotion Prong and use it to fake Jesus’s death on the Cross where it becomes known as the Holy Lance.

h. With the theft of the Prong Judas comes to his senses and tells St. Longinus and the “Beloved Disciple” where the Shroud and the Sword are before committing suicide.
 * i. The Shroud is used to heal Jesus but the strain is too much on his body and after 40 days his consciousness ascends to Avalon, a realm similar to the Grey.

j. The “Beloved Disciple” officially joins the Assassins and travels with Mary Magdalene who he later marries, St. Longinus, Jesus’s mother, and Joseph of Arimathea back to Britannia, settling near Glastonbury where a new Assassins branch is established.

 * c. The Shroud in the cauldron and the Chalice later get conflated as one item, leading to the idea that the Chalice is an object instead of a person in later times.
 * d. Excalibur is a Sword of Eden and after Arthur possibly passes all the way down to Jacques de Molay.
