A World With No Boundaries - Motto of the Anarchists

Few people were fully aware of the Templar Order and the Assassin Brotherhood. But what these groups were not aware of was a third faction that has existed for as long as the Templars and Assassins. Those who wish to put an end to the Assassin/Templar War for good. They are the Anarchists.

The Anarchists are a revolutionary front founded in the prehistoric era. Like the Assassins and Templars the Anarchist wish to forge a new 'perfect' world. The Anarchist seek to stamp out the causes of human corruption and suffering from religion to politics. A world of ruled by naturalness. Where nations practiced Freedom and Law without the use of force. Aside from this, the Anarchist have a more vital goal. Find the Pieces of Eden and destroy them. End the Assassin/Templar war. But their most important goal was two words. 'Eliminate Juno.'

The Anarchists were founded just before the Human/First Civilization war. Unknown to the First Civilization, it was members of their own society that started it. Leading this group was Mars. He was joined by Venus, Vesta, Proserpina and Diana. Mars conspired with others Isu from different Chapters (Pantheons) including.

Horus of Egypt

Njord of Scandinavia

Ogoun of Africa

Chiyou of China

Vessavana of Buddha

Hachiman of Japan

Kartikeya of India

Morrigan of Celtica

Wurrukatte of Hatti

Anat of Canaan

Ekeko of Inca

Mixcoatle of Aztlan

These individuals had grown tired of the abusive treatment of the humans and formed the Tredecim Treaty. Though many other gods joined the Treaty including Ullr, Skadi, Anubis, Sekhmet, Hadad, Qetesh, the Vanir and the 'Archangels'. The Thirteen were the leaders. Together the Tredecim stole some of the Swords of Eden mankind to use in the coming war. They gave these to humanity and chose Eve to lead the rebellion. The children of Tredecim would become commanders in the army. Thus Eve and the children of Mars became the first anarchists. With the Ennead Entente and the Pieces of Eden, humanity fought the First Civilization to a standstill.

During the Tobo Catastrophe, the Tredecim accepted their fate. By then only the original 13 remained. They predicted that Humanity would survive and knew that all they could give them was their knowledge. So the Tredecim spent their last moments transferring their subconscious into temples across the globe. Temples that only the descendants of the Nine could open. The Tredecim and their human allies worked to create 4 specific items to serve them in the coming years. All of which were platinum colour in order to be distinguishable. They were called the Pieces of Elysium. To prevent them from being used but enemy factions the Pieces of Elysium were designed to only work in the hands of those with the proper

The Trident of Elysium. A weapon that destroys Pieces of Eden by stabbing them. This Piece is usually in the possession of the Anarchist Leader.

The Spear of Elysium. A sword staff

The Sword of Elysium. These weapons were designed to be able to clash with their counterparts and create a shield around the wielder preventing them from harm or the effect of the Pieces of Eden.

The Orange of Elysium. Similar in appearance to an Apple of Eden. Its purpose is to absorb information from Pieces of Eden such as the Apples and Memory seals.

The Ring of Elysium. The artifact is designed to render Pieces of Eden powerless, thus turning them into ordinary objects. This ring is often used on the Staves and Swords of Eden. Though their power would be gone, they would still make handy weapons.

After humanity started anew, it brought about the rise of three orders. The Templars founded by Cain, the Assassins came under the guidance of Seth and the Anarchist founded by the human descendants of the Tredecim. The leadership of the Anarchists is the Court of Judges. There would always be 13 of them, no more no less. Each one representing one of the rebel deities. The head of the Judges is called The Leader. The Anarchists took a plain black flag as their sigil as black represented no allegiance to anything.

The Anarchists would have many prominent figures over the years, many appear in the bible such as Methuselah, Moses and the Judges if Israel including Deborah, Gideon and Jephthah. Jephthah had offered his daughter to Mars in thanks for assuring his victory over the Templars in the Canaan.

At first the Anarchists across the globe were disorganized with no clear place in which to operate. For the most part, they usually instigated rebellions against every empire and kingdom they believed to be oppressive. This included Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, and Persia. Some societies were allies of the Anarchists, including Troy, Jericho and Sparta. It was thanks to the Anarchists that Sparta did not fall to Alexander the Great. During the Three Kingdoms era in China, the states of Wu and Shu were allies of the Anarchists.

At the time Troy was the crown jewel of the Anarchists, their seat of power. It was where they stored away the captured Pieces of Eden. This would draw the Greek Templars to Troy. Juno used an apple of Eden to manipulate the Greek Templars to invade Troy and eventually sack it. Unfortunately, they were unable to find them as Aeneus and the surviving Trojans had spirited them away to a Temple of Mars. Jericho would also fall to Moses' templar successor Joshua.

This changed in 400 BC when a man from China named Laozi founded Taoism. Taoism was based around naturalness, simplicity, compassion and humility. Laozi's philosophy created the basis guidelines for an Anarchists society. Taoism attracted millions of followers in China and became the first organized branch of Anarchism. Laozi and his disciple Zhuangzi would become one of the first notable Leaders of the Anarchists.

It was during the rise of the Roman Empire that the Anarchists started taking an active role. All of Greece including Sparta fell to the Romans, so the Anarchists worked tirelessly to halt their advance. This included the Serville wars. The most famous of which was one led by Elder Spartacus. The Anarchist nearly succeeded in the Third Serville war, but the slave's desire for plunder rather than freedom led to their downfall. Spartacus and his family escaped thanks to Anarchist agents and he eventually became the new Leader of the Anarchists.

The Anarchist avenged Spartacus defeat through Judge Surena, who defeated and killed Marcus Crassus at the Battle of Carrhae. In Germany Judge Arminius defeated three roman legions. These victories prevented the Roman empire from expanding to northern Europe. Though the romans were able to avenge Carrhae and take over some of Parthia they would never be able to hold it long

The Anarchists later gained supporters within Christianity. Among them was John the Baptist and the Savior himself, Jesus Christ. Jesus created the roots for True Christianity as the existing institutions were corrupt beyond anything. Once again, the Anarchist gained another branch and many more followers. The Templars crucified Jesus in order to gain possession of his Apple of Eden. The Anarchists used the Shroud of Eden to resurrect him. Jesus would spend the remaining years of his life in seclusion as Leader of the Anarchists alongside his wife Mary Magdalene.

The Anarchist final attempt to stop the Romans from expanding was the Revolt of Judge Boudicca. Just like in the case of Spartacus, Boudicca nearly succeeded, but the incompetence of her generals caused the rebellion to fail. Nonetheless, Boudicca and her family were saved and Judge Boudicca became the second female Leader of the Anarchists. The Anarchists eventually took Rome down in 476 AD when Judge Odacer overthrew Romulus Augustulus. After the fall of Rome chaos ensued as the western roman lands were overrun with barbarian tribes. Meanwhile Anarchist spread their influence to the Celts and the Vikings.

Over the course of the next few decades, the Anarchist remained relatively quiet. This changed in 1099 when the crusades erupted. The Anarchists made an attempt to gain influence in the church due to their ties with Christ and John the Baptist. They put a white cross on their black flag and formed the Knights Hospitaller. The Hospitaller gained a significant number of followers, growing larger than their counterparts the Knights Templar. The Hospitaller also acted to spy on the Templars. Hopefully they would find a way to discredit them and deal them a heavy blow. What the Anarchist didn't expect was for some members of the order to become Templars. What was meant to be a passive order of healers was turned into a military order.

These traitors such as Garnier de Naplouse were promising members of the Anarchists until he turned to the Templars for unknown reasons. The Anarchist feared being exposed so they tipped off the Assassins to these people and 'cleanse' the Hospitaller of what they called the infection. But as the Crusades took a turn for the worst, The Hospitaller found its influence dwindling. When their primary base Krak Des Chevaliers fell. The Anarchists lost all sway in the middle east and abandoned their operations there. The Hospitaller dissolved and was reborn as the Catholic Sovereign Military order of Malta and the Protestant Order of Saint John. Both groups united in the Alliance of the Orders of Saint John, with over 140,000 followers.

In East asia, the influence of the Anarchists had spread. Taoism had made it's way to Korea. With the aid of the Anarchists Korea fended off invasions from both China and Japan. Japan experienced a more combatant branch of the Anarchists. This came in the form of the ronin. Daimyo Anarchists tended to welcome Ronin into the fold. One of the more famed users of ronin was Shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi who had gathered 100,000 ronin to his cause. By 1623 The number of ronin had swelled to half a million.

The Anarchists would resurface in a big way during the rise of Piracy. Most Pirates where Anarchists. This was evident by their use of a sigil on a black flag. Notable Pirate Anarchists where Peter Easton, William Kidd, Roger Kenway, and Ching Shih. Blackbeard, and Charles Vane were also members, but unlike the others, they kept their affiliation a secret. Peter Easton was the first Pirate to become Leader of the Anarchists. Years later Roger Kenway, cousin to Edward Kenway, would also obtain this position. He became most noted for the destruction of the Observatory, and the murder of Woodes Rogers. Roger's line became a major part of the Anarchists all the way to the present day.

Ever since, the Kenway Family became a focal point for the Anarchists. Like Roger, Jennifer Scott Kenway had become a member. The Anarchists had hoped to convert Haytham to their cause, but these plans were ruined when Templar Reginald Birch killed his father Edward and tried to enslave his daughter. Roger rescued Jennifer and enacted terrible vengeance by brutally torturing and killing most of Birch's associates. Roger had Birch on the run for the rest of his life. But for all his searching he was unable to find Birch.

During the Colonial Era, the Anarchist actually teamed up with Haytham Kenway to destroy the Colonial Assassins whose recklessness caused the earthquakes in Haiti and Portugal killing thousands. Some Templars such as Nicholas Biddle and William Johnson were actually Anarchists. This was marked as the first time that the Anarchists would side with one of the other orders. The Templar/Anarchist alliance ended at the start of the American Revolution. Commanders such as Daniel Morgan and John Paul Jones were key members of the Anarchists in the colonies.

The American Revolution is considered their greatest success and their biggest failure. The newly formed nation showed a promising beginning. The founding fathers had strived to create a republic. But over time it mutated into a Democracy. Both the Founding fathers and the Anarchists knew that Democracy was mob rule where the 51% can take away all the rights of everyone else. Ironically the United States practiced taxation the very thing they had been fighting against. Thus the United States proved to be no better than the very people that they fought against. This was evident in their treatment of the Native Americans and their continued practice of slavery.

The American Revolution sparked an era of rebellion. Mexico and Argentina gained independence from Spain, Brazil gained independence from Portugal, and France revolted against their own monarchy. Napoleon Bonaparte was formerly an Anarchist before defecting to the Templars. Still, the Anarchists found some success in the Texas Revolution. Unfortunately, the Republic of Texas only lived for 10 years before the United States annexed it.

The American Civil War was the Anarchist's biggest gamble. Though the Confederacy was for slavery their belief in state rights was closer to the Anarchist's ideology. They planned to take control of the Confederacy slowly weed out slavery and then forge their own nation. This had been their original plan for Texas. But many things went wrong, Jefferson Davis was named President instead of the more suited John C. Breckinridge who was an Anarchist. The capitol went from Montgomery Alabama, then Richmond, Virginia. Instead of Charleston, South Carolina which was larger and in a better position. Also, the Confederates decided to draw first blood instead of waiting and preparing. Robert E. Lee's loss in Antietam ensured no foreign aid came to the Confederacy. With the deaths of Anarchist commanders Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson and Albert Sidney Johnson. the Confederacy's fate was sealed. The Civil War was a staggering blow for the Anarchists. Two of their most promising members were dead and a third was in exile.

The Anarchists turned their attention to the Western United States. They rendered aid to the Native Americans during the Sioux Wars. For a time the Sioux were able to hold them off. But they could only delay the inevitable. The Sioux wars ended in the Ghost Dance conflict.

The Anarchists gained infamy in the form of the american outlaws. Gunslingers like Johnny Ringo, John Wesley Hardin, Billy the Kid and the James brothers were Anarchists. As well as gangs like the Cochise Cowboys and Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch. The outlaw Reuben Slade was an Anarchist Judge.

The 1880's marked a great change in the Anarchists. This was the era when the Anarchist made themselves known to the public. and many elders revealed themselves. Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was the first self-proclaimed anarchist while William Godwin created the first expression of anarchist thought. Henry David Thoreau was a pioneer of Green Anarchism and Emma Goldman was a prominent figure for Anarcho-feminism. One man, however, became the greatest of them all. His name was Karl Marx the forefather of Socialism. He created Anarcho-socialism and soon rose to Leader of the Anarchist.

The Age of Revelation as the Anarchist called it was a mixed blessing for them. On one hand, it attracted millions of people to their cause albeit for different reasons as well as new resources to use against the Assassins and Templars. Some people in both orders even defected to the Anarchists. But now that the Anarchist had gone public, the Assassins and the Templars were now aware of their existence. The Elders were now more determined than ever that the orders never learned about the Elders or the Leader. To mask their true nature the elders formulated a false one. One to the other Orders, the Anarchists seemed like nothing but disorganized agents of chaos. The trick worked and the Anarchists leadership remained a secret. The Age of Revelation saw the rise of workers unions. It wasn't long before the Unions became affiliated with the Anarchists and it earned them millions more followers.

In 1889, the Anarchists got involved with the Boxer Rebellion. The boxers a.k.a the Righteous and Harmonious Fists was the main Anarchist cell in China. They sought to rid China of European Imperialism. Its membership had grown to over 300,000. The Anarchist was going to make the Boxers the rulers of China after the Europeans had left China. Unfortunately, the leader of the Boxers, Cao Futian discovered an apple of Eden. This particular was specially created by Juno. The moment they touched it, Juno had full control over their minds. With her new pawns, Juno was able to take control of the entire Boxer society. What was once a promising rebel movement was transformed into a savage and fanatical cult. Targeting anyone who wasn't Chinese Buddhists. The Boxer Rebellion caused the Anarchists to lose any grip they had in China. Though there were still millions of Taoist in chine. They would no longer have any sway in terms of power.

The Anarchist became involved in World War 1. Though this time it was purely as ambassadors and refused to partake in military engagements. The Anarchists were trying to get Britain, Italy and Japan to side with the Central Powers. As it was the Allies who started the war by killing the heir to Austria-Hungary. The Anarchists supported the opposition. The Anarchist Leader Vladimir Lenin saw an opportunity to free Russia from their oppressive monarchy. With the Help of the Anarchists and the Central Powers, Lenin successfully overthrew the Romanov Family. Though Lenin Intended to sent tot Romanovs into exile, his second in command Josef Stalin had secretly ordered their deaths. The Anarchists had anticipated and manage to save the Tzar's children. The executioners who were anarchists orchestrated a carefully planned false execution. Dug up corpses were buried at the spot of execution.

Lenin transformed the Russian Empire into the Soviet Union. Under Lenin, the Soviet Union showed even greater promise than the United States. Unfortunately, Lenin died 11 years after the Russian Revolution. The Anarchist are certain that Lenin was killed by his successor, the Templar Josef Stalin. Stalin would end up destroying the very nation his predecessor had worked so hard to build. Thus the Anarchists hopes of creating a nation out of Russia ended in failure.

The Russian Revolution would the last major event in which the Anarchist got involved. Through World War 2 and the Cold War, the Anarchist remained in the shadows. Anarchists John F. Kennedy and his younger brother Robert, attempted to reforge the America that the Founding Fathers dreamed of. Despite the efforts of Anarchist agents, both men were killed by the Templars. With them all hopes of 'Restoring America' died with them.

But for all their failures, a silver lining was on the horizon a way to bring down the Templars and give them a taste of their own poison. That hope came in the form of two words. Abstergo Industries.

When people think of anarchy, they immediately associate it with chaos. Let them believed this lie. It is preferable to them finding out what we really are. - Anarchist Leader

In modern times the Judges were renamed the 13 Provosts as each led a major 'School of Thought' in Anarchism. Both the Provosts and the Leader are the Anarchists most closely guarded secret. Nobody ever knows who these people are until their death. After the Age of Revelation, they have become even more secretive. At annual meetings they would wear all black with a mask of a certain colour to represent their branch.

The Anarchists lack the political and technological power of the Templars. They also lack the talents of the Assassin members. But what the Anarchists lack in those points, they more than made up for in numbers. With millions of members worldwide and at least 2 billion followers, the Anarchists are larger than the other 2 orders combined. Anarchist movements and organizations were used as fronts to hide their more public allies. The Support Network of the Anarchists include The Orders of Saint John, The Trade Unions, Crime Syndicates, Non-Profit Organizations, Political Third Parties, Decentralized Affinity Groups and certain Charities. The Anarchist's massive and ever-growing following is derived from the commoners. The reason for the huge following was because the Assassin/Templar war tended to tread on the lives of many people. They publicly act in the form of protests and rebellions while working behind closed door to achieve the goals of their fellows. These happened globally minus in the middle east where the environment was uncomfortably hostile though they have managed to maintain a strong presence in Israel.

The most dangerous thing about the Anarchists was the fact that their members and followers were usually ordinary people. Even for all their cunning and resources the Assassins and the Templars would find it extremely difficult to tell an who was an anarchist and who was not. This enabled them to put their many agents into both orders. The Templars were especially vulnerable due to their vast public influence. So they were able to grow like a beautiful parasite inside the order. One anarchist, in particular, had been recruited to research Edward James Kenway while several others have managed to infiltrate deep into the Templar Hierarchy.

Ironically, Though the anarchist opposed Tyranny, they are not above affiliating themselves with those that practiced Slavery in order to achieve their goals such as Sparta and the Confederate States of America. Why they lend aid to these nations are unknown even today.
