"Johnson was one of them. The bee's drone too."
―Clay Kaczmarek, 2012.[src]

Edwin Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. (born 1930) is an American engineer and former astronaut and the second person to walk on the Moon. He was the Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing in history. In that mission, he collected Apple of Eden 5 for the Templar Order.

Biography[]

The Templars discovered an Apple of Eden located on the Moon. Desiring to recover the Apple, the Order planned to orchestrate a manned Moon mission through their puppet-organization, NASA. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy proposed a joint-mission with the Soviet Union.[1]

Fearing Soviet interference, the Templars assassinated Kennedy later the same year and placed another member of the Order, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, in the presidency.[1] Johnson would push heavily for the advancement of the space program. In 1969, the Templars were successful in launching the Apollo program. Aldrin, an astronaut in the project, retrieved the Apple. Upon his return to Earth he delivered it into Abstergo Industries' hands.[2]

Legacy[]

The Assassin Clay Kaczmarek later revealed details of Aldrin's involvement in the Templar conspiracy to his successor, Desmond Miles, via messages he had hidden within the Animus. Desmond solved the puzzle containing the message about the truth of the moon landing in September of that year.[3] The message in particular displayed a popular photograph released to the public of Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface, albeit edited to show an Apple of Eden in front of him. The insignia of the Templars and the logo of Abstergo Industries were also hidden in the negative photo, the former on the flag and the latter on the landing module.[2]
