Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve were the two humans shown in Subject 16's The Truth video. They were humans who rebelled against Those Who Came Before. In the truth video, they are seen running from someone or something. They use free-running to climb a large, futuristic looking building. While Adam and Eve are climbing the building, Eve can be seen holding a stolen Piece of Eden which helps her look through the darkened glass at the human slaves within the building. When they are on top of the building, Eve says: "Adam, I have it!". Adam then says "Eve" and Eve yells: "look out!" when they see someone or something behind them.

Both Adam and Eve seem to have white markings covering their bodies which occasionally glow blue. These lines do not follow blood vessels, indeed, the markings on the back are straight and angular. Their designs look slightly like circuit boards, and their perfectly angular, symmetrical design makes a natural origin less likely. The designs of these lines also are similar to those of the character Minerva, who Ezio encounters in The Vault, which hints that Adam and Eve could be part of the second generation humans that are a result of the first generation humans that procreated with Those Who Came Before e.g. Minerva. Furthermore, Eve appears to have something attached to her left arm.

The Binary Code at end of The Truth video translates as: 01000101=E 01000100=D 01000101=E 01001110=N

Since The Truth is a memory recorded by The Animus instead of a video, Subject 16 must be a descendant of Adam, Eve or both. The video proves that the story of Adam and Eve and The Garden of Eden is true. The couple appear to have disobeyed their masters by stealing a Piece of Eden - specifically, one of the Apples which presumably has given them immunity to hypnotism. The theft of the artifact could have been the first act of defiance which caused the conflict as described by Minerva. The 'innocence' of mankind was lost when they realized that the superiority of Those Who Have Gone Before was due to their technological advances. This prompted a war between the two species. Subject 16's record also shows that the artifacts (the Staff, the Apple, the Pieces of Eden) were tools that the First Civilization used to wield power over humans. Whether the artifacts were made to control humans, or if humans were made to obey the artifacts, is another matter. Even so, some are immune to their effects.

If Adam and Eve were in fact immune to the Pieces of Eden then this would mean that Altair and Ezio were descendants of Adam and Eve. This would also mean that Subject 16 is related to Desmond, possibly his father, brother or someone from the family. This is farther backed by the fact that both are related to Ezio but it could also mean that Ezio had two children and Subject 16 and Desmond were descendants of each of the children. Which means that Desmond might also be a descendant of Adam and Eve as well.
