Assassin's Creed: The Chain is a graphic novel published by UbiWorkshop in August 2012. Set in the Assassin's Creed universe, it is a sequel to the comic book miniseries, Assassin's Creed: The Fall, and concludes the story of Russian Assassin Nikolai Orelov following his retirement from the Brotherhood and emigration to the United States in the early 20th century. The framing story, set in 2002, follows Nikolai's descendant Daniel Cross, a Templar who unwittingly experiences his ancestors' memories.
The book is written and illustrated by Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl, who also worked on The Fall and would later return for the graphic novel Assassin's Creed: Brahman, which features a new setting and protagonist. A video game set in-between the events of The Fall and The Chain, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia, was released in February 2016.
