'''Helix''' is a cloud-based software developed by [[Abstergo Entertainment]].

A continuation of the [[Animus#Data Dump Scanner|Data Dump Scanner]], a creation of [[Álvaro Gramática]],<ref name="ÁlvaroGramáticadatabase">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' - [[Database: Álvaro Gramática]]</ref> the Helix software allowed for accounts of various [[Templars]] and [[Assassins]] throughout history, with propaganda-based narrations delivered by Abstergo in favor of the former, delivered to the public via a games console-style format at a cheap price.<ref name="ACU">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref> Using the headsets, Abstergo can also collect players' genetic data.<ref name="Titan">''[[Assassin's Creed (Titan Comics)|Assassin's Creed]]'' Issue #1</ref>

Through Helix, a [[Helix research analyst|research analyst]] at Abstergo Entertainment relived [[Shay Cormac]]'s [[Genetic memory|memories]] and fixed the damage caused by a virus hidden within Shay's memory bank.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>

Around the same time, an [[Helix initiate|individual]] associated with the Assassins used a game console running on the Helix software to relive the memories of [[Arno Dorian]],<ref name="ACU"/> and [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The Helix menu in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' presents the user with twelve memories - nine of which correspond to events related to eight real-world ''Assassin's Creed'' games - although players can only access ''The Tragedy of Jacques de Molay''.
*The experience starring Edward is seemingly mislabeled as "[[Devils of the Caribbean]]", Abstergo's feature film, when the title of their video game adaptation of Edward's memories was "Pirates of Nightmares".
*Abstergo Entertainment’s Helix Navigator used a Hospitalier Antivirus program, referencing the [[Knights Hospitalier]].
