History

Abstergo Industries was an organization that was created by remnants of the Knights Templar during the times of the Crusades so that they could continue their war against the Assassin Brotherhood into the modern age. It was founded in 1937 where it was set to accomplish the purpose of the Templars through capitalism and scientific means.

By the year 2012, Abstergo Industries abducted Desmond Miles who was an ancestor of the assassin Altaïr in order to access his genetic memories.

Overview

It was claimed that the company was responsible for every scientific accomplishment within the last 1,000 years. The vast majority of employees were unaware of the organisation's roots being tied to the Templar. Thus, many of its rank were not Templar themselves and simply performed their jobs.

Among its divisions were:

  • Historical Research :
  • Lineage Discovery and Acquisition :
  • Future Technology :

Creations of the company included the:

  • Herne+ : advertised as a food supplement, it consisted of a mind-dulling chemical that was meant to boost Abstergo's control over the general populace.
  • Angelus : a genetic implant advertised to be applied to little children where it was to allow for mental status to be transmitted to wrist bands worn by their guardian but actually allowed Abstergo to regulate a person's hormone levels and brain functions from birth.
  • Bodyband : a device advertised as an exercise bracelet for workouts that allowed the monitoring of motion expenditure, heart rate, sleep patterns, brainwaves, hydration, hormone and oxygen levels.
  • Animus :

One of their research initiatives was the Sophia Project that studied the means of imprinting information onto living human cells that could be biologically passed from one vessel to another.
