The Assassins have left their mark on history, but there are myriad minor innovations for which the modern world also has Desmond's sexy ancestors to thank. We salute these and the new Assassin's Creed Syndicate in Show of the Week. Subscribe! http://www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
The Assassins of Assassin's Creed are instrumental in all events of monumental historic importance. If Assassin's Creed 3 is an accurate account of the American Revolution, and I have no way to prove it isn't, then hero Connor Kenway practically lent Benjamin Franklin the pen to sign the Declaration of Independence.
The ubiquitous influence of this ancient order doesn't stop at the big stuff. Assassin's Creed Syndicate, out this week, has it that Victorian assassin Evie Frye came up with the name 'telephone' for the 'phonetic telegraph' invented by Alexander Graham Bell.
Centuries earlier than that, Ezio Auditore took time out of his assassinating schedule to devise the classic caffe latte, proposing milk and sugar to zshush up primitive black coffee imported by a Turkish merchant.
It wouldn't be another five hundred years before anyone thought to add pumpkin spice, but I bet my life that turns out to be the work of an assassin barista.
