Freemasons = Templars[]
I find it odd that, at least in the AC universe, the Freemasons would be allied w/the Templars. I know about their alleged Templar origins in real life, but the Freemasons were part of the Enlightenment, and the Enlightenment ideals sound like the kind of thing that would be anti-AC!Templar and pro-AC!Assassin. Not to mention, Masons were persecuted in the Holocaust, and in the AC verse, Hitler was a Templar (then again, so were Henry Ford, FDR, Churchill, LBJ and Buzz Aldrin, who in real life were/are Masons). —M.C.Tales 19:27, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
- In addition, are we even 100% certain that the Washington is a Templar and that the Freemasons are a Templar organization? After all, the only evidence we have (so far) that they are a Templar organization is at least circumstantial as far as the AC series is concerned. Also, I recently did some research, and according to Wikipedia, Harry Houdini was a Freemason (make of this what you will). Finally, the coded message in Glyph 3 merely says that the Masons brought the Third Apple to America and that Washington passed it on. I think there's room for at least a little doubt in there.—M.C.Tales 00:16, March 26, 2011 (UTC)
- Agreed. I'd say that there isn't sufficient evidence for Washington being a Templar. I'm going to go ahead and remove it. Guardian Assassin 00:12, May 6, 2011 (UTC)
Why stub?[]
Currently this article has the stub template, but we can't expand it further because it already contains all the AC-relevant information. Should we just remove the Stub template? Smoke3723 05:32, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, address to the Continental Army before the battle of Long Island, Aug. 27, 1776 this is the whole speech he gave and maybe a hint of a battle we could see 69.27.80.60 01:09, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
George Washington's Height[]
I couldn't help noticing how Connor and George Washington are standing at the exact same height. Wasn't George Washington 6'2? Why do Ubisoft scale the heights so inaccurately? Supreme Master AssassinIL Mentori 19:00, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Maybe it's just an angle issue. -- Master Sima Yi Talk 19:26, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
The DLC[]
Has there been any true conformation that his "The Tyranny of King Washington" is indeed non-cannon with the AC storyline, or are we to assume that the phrase "alternate history" is meant to mean alternate in our universe but not so much the AC universe? 76.27.195.6 19:12, October 7, 2012 (UTC)Christengo
- The proper term is "canon," not "cannon." A cannon shoots cannon balls. The DLC has been explicitly stated to be an alternate reality. -- Master Sima Yi Talk 19:26, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
- lol Perfectionist much? But I don't get it. Why make an alternate reality if all the other DLCs were... "canon" (as it's apparently spelled)? Is ubisoft just trying to take a new step in their artistic direction? Is Desmond being shown a false memory to diminish his sense of reality or perhaps to make him feel less pride in the nation he was born in? Any idea what's up with that? 76.27.195.6 19:43, October 7, 2012 (UTC)Christengo
- I'm not a perfectionist, I'm just pointing it out for future notice. Apparently they are making this kind of content so that people who haven't bought the DLC wouldn't have missed anything relevant when they play the next game. Á la The Da Vinci Disappearance and The Lost Archive. They were interesting because their stories were good and very relevant. Downloadable content like the Battle of Forlì, Bonfire of the Vanities and Copernicus Conspiracy wasn't all that successful because their stories weren't very relevant. So I'm guessing they are trying out to see what this kind of content will bring them. I'm not very fond of it... Wondering how that would play out with genetic memory as well. -- Master Sima Yi Talk 19:50, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
Connor's alliegence[]
Here's something that really bugs me. If Washington is responsible for Connor's mother's death then why does Connor continue to side with him?Templar king (talk) 14:13, November 4, 2012 (UTC) Noah Clitheroe (talk) 19:24, December 24, 2012 (UTC) connor didn't want any part in the war he only helped washington to get to the templars
Nightmares[]
What part of the tyranny of king washington did you get the part about the nightmares caused by the apple?Templar king (talk) 21:21, April 17, 2013 (UTC)
It comes from the Betrayal, after you have collected all of the episode's lucid memory artifacts and watched the cutscene that is unlocked. Slate Vesper (talk) 21:28, April 17, 2013 (UTC)
Sons of Liberty[]
Kainzorus Prime is you need proof of Washington being part of the sons of liberty here you go -

It's correct.

- Two things. 1 - Yahoo answers is hardly a reliable source. 2 - There is a difference between real-world history and AC-canon history. Nesty Contact me! 18:56, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Adding to what Nesty said, our own Sons of Liberty article states that well-known Patriots didn't join the group as a safeguard from British harassment. Washington certainly falls into well-known category of Patriots. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie 20:28, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
Finally! Thank goodness it's fixed!
