5. Eagle Cane - Descendant Of Altair?
Back in the pre-release hype for the original Assassin's Creed, people were picking apart every scrap of information tossed their way - all in the hope of unravelling the ultra-cool time-travelling storyline therein. One such thing was Altair's costume design, whereby when he was perched on any number of outcrops the idea was to make his silhouette resemble that of an eagle watching its prey - his hood featuring a 'beak'-like tip. It was something backed up by the 'eagle cry' sound effect that was further carried through the franchise, although as of yet no other characters have worn such a poignant design on their sleeves - until now. Our new hero is shown holding a cane with a very obvious-looking eagle head atop it, thematically and symbolically connoting Altair's presence right off the bat.
