The Ring of Blood
The Ring of Blood was one of the three Rings of Seth, a set of Rings of Eden said to have been bestowed by the Isu Seth to his champions. Like the other two rings, the Ring of Blood is directly connected to the Staff of Seth, which is able to control those who use the ring.[1] The Ring of Blood has mind-manipulating powers[2] and enough illusionary power to make it seem as if the wearer has been transformed into a vampire.[3]
History[]
Wallachia and Transylvania[]
In the mid-15th century, the Wallachian Voivode Vlad Tepes received a ring from a mysterious figure that bestowed upon him "otherworldly powers" to fight the Ottoman Empire.[4]
During the Victorian era, the British Assassins encountered a similar creature in London, England, where a Wallachian nobleman committed a series of gruesome murders. Though he managed to escape before the Assassins could confront him,[5] they followed the culprit to Transylvania. Chasing after his carriage in the Carpathian Mountains as he fled towards his castle, the Assassins had to defend themselves from the noble's servants trying to defend their master. As they reached the castle, the noble's carriage stopped and he erupted from it to attack his pursuers, but they managed to overpower and kill him. As he fell to the ground, the vampire's form faded to reveal a normal human with the ring on his finger before the body dissolved into ash.[3] Having retrieved the ring from the vanquished creature, the Assassins scoured his castle for clues, uncovering the connections to Vlad Tepes.[4]
Zixuan Long's plot and recovery by the Assassins[]
By 2016, the Ring of Blood was in Templar possession and had been transferred to the Abstergo Industries executive and high-ranking Templar Aleksandr Omovich for safekeeping in the private vault in his villa alongside the Ring of Moon. Abstergo's archaeologist Dr. Zixuan Long arranged for a meeting at the villa, under the pretext of showcasing the recently-discovered Staff of Seth and its connections to the rings. During the meeting, Long activated the Ring of Blood using his assistant, who underwent an illusory transformation and, under the Staff of Eden's control, carried out a massacre in the mansion. When interviewed by local news, the unhoused man Rob who had passed the house at night said he witnessed "the devil" leave the villa and fly into the night.[1] Through their investigations, the Assassins eventually pieced together a trail leading them closer to the creature's lair,[6] an abandoned structure not far from the villa.[7]
After Dr. Long discovered that the Ring of Sand was being shown at the British Museum, he once again used the Staff to command his assistant, though the Assassins killed her before she could complete her mission, taking the Ring of Blood for themselves.[8] The Assassins later took the three Rings of Seth to the Isu Vault beneath the Valley of the Kings, preparing to stop Dr. Long's schemes and prevent him from reaching where he thought Apophis rested. After their confrontation, Seth took over Dr. Long's body and spoke to the Assassins by transmitting his voice through the rings.[2]
