In Aya´s fight against Septimius he says referring to Caesar: "He is the father of understanding" So maybe the new templar order means caesar as the father of understanding of the Order of the Ancients Caesar wasn't THE Father. That title is older than we thought it was. Look here That doesn't exactly instill me with confidence, nor make much sense, The Father of Understanding is meant to be symbolic, yes? Clearly, the Templars, even by Rodrigo Borgia's time, looked to a higher being for guidance. Who is it exactly? Cain? That answer is much too easy and too boring. I don't consider Adam and Eve, much less Cain and Abel to be proto-Assassins and Templars. They may have had the ideas, but they didn't have the practice or the organization. Who would be a proto-Assassin? Darius, who assassinated Xerxes with the first Hidden Blade. He's a proto-Assassin, and Bayek was the first, official Assassin.
