Also, Arno went to check on Germain's body with Napoleon in 1808, so that is weird as well. That would mean Napoleon already knew about the First Civilization and all that (unless Arno somehow convinced Napoleon to escort him for another reason). It seems to me the Assassins were being blackmailed by Napoleon. I can't think of anything else.
