Il Capitano – Subject 77 – Benjamin Yeats – Log
They tell me of the brothers that were kidnapped. They tell me of the one that killed himself, and the one that escaped. I am strong. I will escape. I need to get back to my regiment. I was told that they were informed that I had been shot and the enemy burned my body. I need to get back. I need to help my country survive.
I saw something written on one of the walls at Abstergo once. It said "We work in the dark to serve the light. Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." I decided not to ask, rather than just sneak into an unlocked office and find out for myself. Google is so helpful. It told me that those words were part of an ancient creed for an opposition to the Templars called Gli Assassini. They killed Templars. There should be more of them now.
Subject 17. Miles, Desmond. Descendant of Ezio Auditori Da Firenze, leader of Gli Assassini. I will escape. I will find him. I want to help. Anything is better than this; even death.
I know that some of the Templars revel in their kills. I slowly came to terms with killing, being in the military, but this is different. This man is heartless and cruel! I have talked with my friend Rupert about my ancestor. He is of the same mind. How could this much evil be contained in just one man? He kills to see the look on his victim's face when they die.
Most of the men here like killing the women best. I don't begin to understand why. They are evil women, I know, but they are still to be treasured, not killed and tossed out with the garbage. I cheer on L'Arlecchina. She is on my side too.
