| Weird foot trails in Monteriggioni 2012 |
This trail appears right after the completion of memory sequence 2. A lot of talk has gone into what there trails could possibly be in various forums. I reckon there are only two logical explanations to it.
If we assume, that these trails have been added for purpose then, its got to be serious. As the trails appear only in eagle vision, it is most likely that they are trails of Templars.
Now there are two possibilities. Either we have got a mole on our team or its someone else from outside. We will take one at a time. If the Templar is a mole in the assassin team, its certainly not Lucy. Yes, you read it right, its not Lucy.
There are so many facts that make you think she is the black sheep, but there is something sold tprove Lucy is no Templar. In AC 1, Lucy enquirers about the death of her friend in Abstergo and gets rudely told off by Vidic. This shows she is not trusted at Abstergo. Also nothing other than the fact that she once worked as a double agent for assassins makes her the number one contender for being the mole.
The finger next points to Rebecca Crane. There is no way that she is a Templar, coz Abstergo will most certainly not have an Animus that inferior to the one used by assassins. The only remaining member is Shaun who does not have anything to prove he is not a Templar. The fact that he maintains the database makes him a perfect target, and also William discloses information much earlier to Shaun than others. So Abstergo will be pleased to have his services. May be those trails are that of Shaun's.
It seems interesting to have a black sheep, but I believe we dont have one. This, i say because the trails stop at the entrance of Mario's study. Which means, the enemy did not enter the sanctuary. It could be likely that someone followed Lucy or Shaun to the villa and then lost their target while entering the sanctuary.
Another possibility is there where we go for some thing fancy. If we note, the trail starts at the assassin crest in the villa wall where we have got hollow ground with bars. May be thats a Templar hideout keeping a tab on this assassin team. Though this sounds fancy, its quite likely.
Now Think. Why are Templars so silent and not closing in no one of their traitors and an escaped subject?
What if Templars have started thinking like assassins? Why should they take the pain of locating every POE and extradicting it, when Desmond and co would do it for free and they can snatch it from them??
Now this sound quite possible doesn't it?
The last thing that these trails could be is just a beacon for Desmond to get back to the sanctuary as the collectibles in modern Monteriggioni are available only from this sequence! Though it seems too be an anti-climax remember it is possible too and this is why Assassin's Creed rocks.
