Description: A thrilling, in-world overview of Abstergo Industries, the mysterious organization at the center of the Assassin's Creed(R) franchise.
Agent: At Abstergo Entertainment, history is an experience. Our work not only enriches lives, it brings out truths that time has forgotten. But as many of our analysts have learned, testing these experiences is not easy. These files represent the work of the first analyst to take on the case of Subject 44412--Arno Dorian. Living through the bloodiest days of the French Revolution, Dorian's life certainly took many dark turns, but those memories and choices are his own. Up until now, Dorian has proven to be one of the biggest challenges for our research team. We believe that there is valuable information to be gleaned from this subject, and our hope is that you will succeed where others have failed. Familiarize yourself with your predecessor's file as you make your way through this case. Steel yourself, and stay focused. Don't let us down. Your work so far has not gone unnoticed. Here is your chance to prove yourself. (c) 2014 Ubisoft Entertainment. All rights reserved.
