Jupiter

Jupiter, previously known as Tinia, was a member of the First Civilization. He was mentioned by Minerva, also a member of the First Civilization, during her warning to Desmond Miles.

Later, following the fragmentation of Desmond's mind, Jupiter spoke with him at the sync nexus, informing him of the final days of the First Civilization, and the reason for the creation of the Vaults.

Dialogue
Jupiter: ''Do you hear me cipher? Can you see me? Ah. There you are. Good. A strange place, this nexus of time. I am not used to the... calculations. That has always been Minerva's domain. I see you still have many questions. Who were we? What became of us? What do we desire of you? You will have your answers. Only listen and I will tell you how. Both before the end and after, we sought to save the world. We built vaults within which to work, each dedicated to a different method of salvation. They were placed underground to avoid the war which raged above, and also as a precaution, should we fail in our efforts. Each vault's knowledge was transmitted to a single place. It was our duty... mine, Minerva's, and Juno's- to sort and sample all that was collected. We chose those solutions which held the most promise, and devoted ourselves to testing their merits. Six we tried in succession, each more encouraging than the last. But none worked. And then the world ended...''

During the vision of the first civilization ending:

Jupiter:'' The Earth shook for days. The fires burned for weeks. And when the ash had settled, less than ten thousand of your kind still lived... and far fewer of ours. But we carried on, together. To rebuild. To renew. Listen. You must go there. To the place where we labored... labored and lost. Take my words. Pass them from your head into your hands. That is how you will open the way. But be warned: much still remains in flux. And I do not know how things will end - either in my time or yours.''
