It does seem likely that the Templars of the Assassin's Creed universe could be tied to the witch trials of this time period. Though there doesn't seem to be a direct link between Mephisto and witchcraft, it is possible a coven of a certain belief could worship the demon. He most prominently appears in the story of Faust, where the titular character sells his soul to the devil for personal gain. Mephisto appears in Diablo 4, among other stories in popular culture.

The Assassin's Creed icon used in Hexe seems to be occult in origin, so it is possible that the assassins of the game are also practitioners of witchcraft.
