Eden

"Thanks to many of our projects, we now hold indisputable evidence that the Bible, despite what any of us may believe, holds some truths. [...] Eden, however, was a false paradise."

- An Abstergo Industries dossier.

Eden, or the Garden of Eden, was a location controlled by the members of the First Civilization. There, they held many of their creations, humanity, who they used as a docile workforce, and enslaved through technology later known as the Pieces of Eden.

Adam and Eve were believed to have been the first humans capable of resisting the power of the Pieces, presumably because they were devoid of the neurotransmitters that the First Civilization implanted into their creations. The two were known to have escaped Eden through freerunning, after having stolen one of the Apples of Eden.

In modern times, Clay Kaczmarek, a descendant of Adam, contacted his successor in the Animus Project, Desmond Miles, through an executable file called the Miracle.
