I’ve been diving deep into the Assassin’s Creed series and just wrapped up AC Unity. I’m curious about Germain and why he doesn’t seem to have memories of his past lives, unlike Bartholomew Roberts in Black Flag or the character John in the modern-day storyline. It seems odd that Germain would only reference visions from Jacques de Molay instead of recalling his past selves. Any thoughts on why a sage like him doesn’t remember everything?

It’s a common myth that all Sages have full access to their past lives, but that’s not really the case. Roberts and John hint at their experiences but don’t necessarily remember everything. Plus, the concept of a sage being reincarnated raises questions; like, if two sages are alive at the same time, can they share memories? It just complicates things. And remember, Desmond’s son also became a sage alongside John, showing that memory continuity isn’t guaranteed.
Yeah, I see what you mean! It’s definitely a complex scenario with how their memories work.
