Zixuan Long holding the Staff of Seth
Zixuan Long (died 2016) was an archaeologist and researcher employed by Abstergo Industries, with extensive expertise in the Pieces of Eden. In 2016, he located a Staff of Eden that belong to the Isu Seth, starting an obsession with the mythological figure and leading him to believe he had been chosen to fulfill a prophecy to deal with Apophis, the serpent god of darkness and disorder.[1]
Biography[]
Further research done by Long revealed that the Staff was directly connected to other Pieces of Eden, a set of three rings bestowed upon Seth's champions. Discovering that two of the rings were already in Templar possession, in the private vault of the high-ranked Templar Aleksandr Omovich, Long arranged for a meeting at the Omovich mansion, under the pretext of showcasing the recently-discovered Staff and its connection to the two rings. Once there, Long was able to activate the Ring of Blood using his assistant, who underwent an illusory transformation and, under the Staff's control, carried out a massacre in the mansion.[1] Some short time later, Long gave the stolen Ring of Moon to a woman in an abandoned building near the villa, leading to her transformation into a 7-foot tall werewolf.[2]
Discovering that the Ring of Sand was being shown at the British Museum, Dr. Long once again used the Staff to command his assistant, though this time the Assassins killed her before she could complete her mission, taking the Ring of Blood for themselves.[3]
Dr. Long then travelled to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, seeking the vault underneath the valley where he believed Apophis was held. The Assassins were hot on his trail and confronted him in one of the chambers beneath the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Using the Staff, he made the Assassins believe they were in a crimson desert with ominous black storm clouds instead of the painted halls of the tomb complex. He then seemingly transformed to mirror the mythological depictions of Seth before summoning shadow warriors and a sandstorm to attack the Assassins while remaining safe behind an energy shield. As the battle between them continued, however, his powers started to weaken, allowing the Assassins to deliver a killing blow.[4]
