That's what the Bible says But in the AC universe, Cain killed his brother Abel to stole his Apple of Eden (Maybe the same one Eve and Adam stole from the Isu). The glyph doesn't explain what happened before that but after the murder. There are many implications but they are not enough to confirmed that the Isu version of Satan commanded Cain to kill his brother.

The only thing we can say it's that Adam and Eve founded an Ancient Branch of Assassins and his son Cain rejected their brotherhood and founded the Templar Branch. (Source: AC:The Essential Guide and AC2:Glyph #6)

These attributes might give us more of a clue. But in the End the Templars are sooo convinced that they are being guided by something "divine" namely the Sage Germain. So we need to look at what makes the Father of Understanding "divine". That's where you are mistaken. In the period of the Hundred Years War and the French Revolution, the Templars didnt know about the sages. If they did, de Molay and Germain wouldn't be Grand Masters of the Order. So the concept of "sage" wasn't known to them until the Golden Age of Piracy (at least).

Also, the Templars dont follow the Sages. (de Molay and Germain wasn't known as Sages but Grand Masters, that's quite different). The ones that follow the sages are the Instruments of the First Will. (Juno's/Isu followers). As I said: Before ACIV the Father of Understanding wasn't a "divine" being. It wasn't a being at all, just a concept of wisdom that demands to follow reason above all. But since ACIV the concept changed and it was referred as a being.

Now, dont forget that in the AC universe gods doesn't exist (for now). Every myth, legend, divine tale, etc. has a "scientific" and logic explanation: Pieces of Eden or biological phenomenons.

The question here is: why and where the Templars started to call the Father of Understanding as a "He/Him"?
