Adam and Eve Driven out of Eden

Adam and Eve Driven out of Eden, by Gustave Doré

In Biblical mythology, Adam was the first man. Created by God from the Earth, he was later given a partner, Eve, made from his rib. They resided in the Garden of Eden, a utopian paradise together. After being left to their own devices, Adam was convinced by Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, unbeknownst to him, she had been tricked into doing so by Satan. They partook in disobeying God's Will and ate the fruit.[4] Afterwards, they gained free will and suddenly ashamed at their nakedness, clothed themselves in make-shift coverage made of leaves. After this indiscretion, they were cast out of the Garden of Eden as punishment.[5]

After being cast out, Adam would father children with Eve, their first born sons were Abel and Cain. Cain would later kill his brother out of jealousy, however, and was thus branded the first murderer. After Abel's death and Cain's banishment, Adam fathered another son, Seth. Other sons and daughters were bore after Seth also.[6] Once Adam reached the age of 930, after fathering a further 30 sons and 30 daughters, he died. Eve soon followed six days later.[7]

Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve after escaping Eden

Some time before the Toba Catastrophe, after Eve, another hybrid, stole one of the First Civilization's "Apples of Eden", Adam was urged to touch the Apple by Eve, and upon doing so had his mind freed.[8] They then went on to rebel against their creators.[9] Following which, the two attempted to escape Eden through the use of their skills, but they were suddenly stopped by an unknown force.[3]

Legacy[]

Adam and Eve were the parents of Cain and Abel, the former of which would go on to kill his younger brother in order to acquire his Apple of Eden and would establish teachings later adopted by the Knights Templar,[3] some of whom would consider themselves the "Children of Cain".[10]

Personality and traits[]

Adam possessed a trait of curiosity, evident to when Eve showed him the Apple. His voice however failed to mask a hint of fear of what the Isu might do if they'd be found.[8] As a hybrid, Adam were biologically immune to the effects of the Pieces of Eden on his brain, lacking the neurotransmitter upon which the Pieces of Eden acted and that would have compelled him to obey.[3]

Equipment and skills[]

While in Eden, Adam was dressed in a skin-colored or translucent bodysuit adorned with the trademark Isu glowing marks. Adam was proficient in freerunning, as shown when he and Eve escaped Eden and climbed vertically up a tall building without visible exhaustion.[3]

Behind the scenes[]

Adam is a biblical figure and character first introduced in Assassin's Creed II through the completion of all the hidden glyph puzzles. He was voiced by Nolan North, who returned to portray him in the Assassin's Creed: Revelations downloadable expansion The Lost Archive.
