Plot[]
While Jonathan Hawk, Desmond Miles' successor, unmasks the traitor who has infiltrated his cell, his ancestor El Cakr began a struggle against the Templars for the possession of the Scepter of Aset. In a troubled Egypt due to the assassination of Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad, the staff of the Egyptian goddess Isis represents a key issue, since it provides great powers to its owner. Meanwhile, at Abstergo Industries, the Templars make strange discoveries about a young patient whose genetic characteristics represent a new threat to the Assassins.
