'''Abstergo Entertainment''' is a LIE

Its primary product is a gaming console version of the [[Animus]], knowne company to influence the general public through pre-packaged [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] and wide, social gaming constructs.

==History==
Founded in 2010, the company's main mediums included video games, movies and other media sourced from genetic memories. Their games were released in partnership with [[Ubisoft (company)|Ubisoft]]. The division's first major release was a 2012 game entitled ''[[Liberation]]'', entailing the story of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]].<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref><ref name="AC3L">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>

Since 2013, Abstergo Entertainment offices in [[Montreal]] have been focusing on the [[Sample 17 Project]], involving the genetic memories harvested from [[Desmond Miles]]' DNA, in hopes of finding new, interesting settings for future products. The two current projects derived from these memories are a video game titled ''[[Pirates of Nightmares]]'', and a feature film titled ''[[Devils of the Caribbean]]'', both focusing on Desmond's ancestor, [[Edward Kenway]].<ref name="AC4"/> In a similar spirit, they are also reviewing the genetic memories retrieved from other Assassins throughout history, a venture referred to as the Identities Project.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Identity]]''</ref>

== About the history section ==

I just played one of the Subject 16, cluster 5. Throughout the puzzle, there are clues that abstergo influenced events in Iran, Chile, and Argentina in the 1950s to 1970s. They put pictures and such. It is appropriate to keep this info on this page? If so, your'll welcome to expand or fix the information. I have trouble with the citations since I'm a rookie. [[User:Tseantan|Tseantan]] 22:57, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

== W.: concerning Iraq. ==

Could W. possibly mean George W. Bush?, I may just be speculating but that ties in with real life affairs, such as the invasion etc.

== contradiction over abstergo's public nature ==

In Brotherhood, one of the Clusters had a telephone conversation featuring a man who found out about Abstergo and was going to write a book about them. He says that they are a shadow corporation that isn't publicly traded and who's members even have ties to the government and Wall Street. Pretty much, their existence is a secret. But in the first game, isn't it explicitly mentioned a number of times that they are a well known pharmaceutical company that makes anti-depressants amongst other things. They are under investigation for the who New Fluoride incident (try investigating a company that "doesn't exist". I bet ya can't), and the person who witnessed the Denver massacre said that he saw the name and the logo. So they are either a shadow company who's name isn't even known to the public, or they are on the surface a pharmaceutical/technology corporation. Which is it?[[User:Son of God-Enel|Son of God-Enel]] 03:54, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

I think somewhere along the lines, I got the impression that they were a "non-existant" shadow corporation, but later kind of subtly emerged publicly as a major economic power. But that's probably just me, assuming it even makes sense. [[Special:Contributions/98.192.42.30|98.192.42.30]] 17:48, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

As a matter of a fact there are some of those "shadow corporations" already in existence. Ever heard of Unilever ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unilever_brands) it's a perfect example: everybody knows it's products, but hardly anyone knows that they are somehow connected - by a "umbrella brand". There are many others as well. In reality our whole market is being controlled by a handfull of those brands. So the idea of a single very powerful but relatively unknown brand (Abstergo) might seem quite creepy, but it corresponds to our current situation. LaNeve 15:35, August 6, 2011 (MEZ)

The first game definitely indicates it is a fairly large and well known company AND is publically traded(one email about hte flouride thing mentions the stock probably taking a hit). The rifts in Brotherhood are full of contradictions with other stuff though. So it's hard to tell what is actually the canon, but I seem to think whoeve they had writing the rift stuff was not the same quality of people who did the rest of the game.[[Special:Contributions/24.34.132.106|24.34.132.106]] 19:15, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

== F ==

The agent 'F' is most likely Milton Friedman, nobel laureate economist and staunch supporter of lasseiz-faire style market capitalism. Friedmen basically drove the neoliberal revolution in the latter half of the 20th century, driving economic policy away from Keynesian to more liberal - the most prominent is the economic reform of Chile. Pinochet, Thatcher, Reganm and Xiaoping are all examples of neoliberal politicians

== Italian Facility ==

In the gallery, the picture of the facility featured in the games is currently captioned "Animus room, Florence Facility". Is there a source on the exact location of the facility in Italy? [[Special:Contributions/98.192.42.30|98.192.42.30]] 17:52, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

:In case you didn't know, the modern day storyline takes place in Italy. And as said in ''Brotherhood'', they couldn't flee across Italy's border as Abstergo would find them. If you look at the windows in the first ''Assassin's Creed'' and ''Assassin's Creed II'', you'll see that it looks exactly like Florence. Also, I'm 99,9% sure that Ubisoft themselves confirmed that particular facility is in Florence; I believe in a blog post on the official ''Brotherhood'' website, they I can't recall which one. -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] 19:19, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
::Yes, I was aware that it was set in Italy. And I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about; unfortunately, [http://www.computerandvideogames.com/270248/interviews/assassins-creed-brotherhood-in-depth-qa/ this] was all I could find when I Googled it, but I know that there was more, because I remember them saying that there were hints in the first two games. Couldn't find it on the official site, either. In any case, all I remember reading was that it was in general Italy, with no mention of what city. And I'm not saying you're wrong, but all I can see through the windows in AC1 and AC2 is white light and the very vague forms of some surrounding buildings. No distinctive details. Maybe it's just me. [[Special:Contributions/98.192.42.30|98.192.42.30]] 21:08, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
:::Well? [[User:Guardian Assassin|Guardian Assassin]] 04:29, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

::::As revealed in ''The Lost Archive'', the facility is in {{Wiki|Vatican City}}, likely in the few ordinary buildings that just fall into the state's borders. -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] [[User talk:Master Sima Yi|Clogs]] [[w:c:marvel-cinematic-universe|Marvel Studios]] 16:00, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

== Vault ==

Abstergo's symbol is also in the walls of the vault, along with the assassin symbol and I'm pretty sure I also saw the templar cross. If anyone has a doubt check the Vault page, it says so in the Trivia section.

[[User:AlexArkham|AlexArkham]] 03:13, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

I've never seen those outside the Vault, either. [[User:Guardian Assassin|Guardian Assassin]] 04:27, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

Except maybe the cross. [[User:Guardian Assassin|Guardian Assassin]] 04:28, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, then, I'll just go replay the first mission of ACB and then upload the picture. Once I have it, I'll edit it again.

[[User:AlexArkham|AlexArkham]] 15:53, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

I wouldn't say that that's certafiably an Abstergo logo. Yes, there's a resemblance, but no, it's not definate. [[User:Guardian Assassin|Guardian Assassin]] 22:40, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

== Religion. ==

Atheism isn't a religion. I suggest altering it to "None (Atheist)". [[User:CryptoKiller|CryptoKiller]] 10:16, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Some people simply do think it as a religion, some people don't. Google it, there's multiple opinions on it, so there's no real need to change it. [[User:UDITORE|UDITORE]] 10:19, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

It's not a religion. Atheist in a literal sense really means "Not religious". It's like not playing football is a sport. [[Special:Contributions/75.83.114.81|75.83.114.81]] 10:48, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Erm, no. Atheism does not mean "not religious"; all Atheism accounts for is a lack of belief in a deity (or deities). Buddhism is, for example, a fundamentally atheist religion. --{{Signature/Jasca Ducato}} 12:30, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Erm, '''NO''', Buddhism believe in '''spiritism''' instead of deities. Hinduism also supports this. The term Atheism orginates from older languages(such as Greek) literally meaning "Not Religious" or "One without God" while Theism means "God/Religious". My friend is a Buddhist who unfortunately met this '''cocky''' Atheist who tries to form a group/organization against Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity. Calling people like that "Religious" is NOTHING but''' arrogance'''. Atheists are nontheists. Nontheism and irreligion are two VERY different things. The Irreligious are skepitical, but is against BOTH Athiesm and Non-Secularism. Atheists are against ANY theist belief in general.

The Assasins and the Templars(In the game) are NOT Atheists, though some clearly are(being most are killers). Templars are also shown to be Nilhilists(Believing in no afterlife). The Assasins probably Omnists(Believing in everything). The evil doctor Vidic himself is an immoral Atheist, respectfully.

:To sum ALL of this up, Atheists are cultureless and lack belief because of such ignorance. Therefore, CAN'T be a religion itself for lacking such basic phylosphy. You can say I maybe bias towards them and the Irreligious. But in the end my dislike for Atheism and irreligion is quite logical and rational.
:-From a reasonable Christian [[Special:Contributions/75.83.114.81|75.83.114.81]] 03:23, April 24, 2012 (UTC)
::Excuse me. I ''do'' have a culture thank you very much; I would also warn against calling me ignorant simply because I don't believe in your God. There's no such thing as "spiritism" (I suspect you mean "spiritualism") which, as it doesn not involve belief in a deity, supports my statement that Atheism dos not mean "not religious". As you yourself pointed out, Atheism translates as "without god", not "without religion". Buddhism is a religion that does not believe in a god. --{{Signature/Jasca Ducato}} 16:08, April 24, 2012 (UTC)

:Still, wouldn't it be wrong to call Abstergo's religion atheism? Abstergo is the main front of the modern Templars, but it's still just a part of the Templar Order, and in the Templars page it is said that they are non-religious, so why Abstergo is non-religious too? I don't think there is somewhere that says that Abstergo represent a specific religious ideia like atheism or buddhism, even if some members are atheists like Vidic, but it's just some members, not an entire company. So i think there shouldn't even have a specific religion as it is not stated that Abstergo is atheist, buddhist or anything else besides being a Templar company. So i would even suggest changing this page and the Templars page form atheist/non-religious to various, just like in the Assassins page, as there are some Templars who believe in a god, like Antonio Maffei, that templar cardinal who run away from Ezio in the lair of romulus mission at the vatican district, Rodrigo Borgia was deist, as he didn't believed in the biblical god but believed that god was in the vault and etc. What do you guys think? -- BOS 00:27, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

== Abstergo - Johnson and Johnson ==

The real life pharmaceutical Company, Johnson & Johnson, has a lot in common with abstergo.

One of the biggest international pharmaceutical companies in the world.

Over 230 subsidiary holdings.

Uses the Red Cross as their company Symbol. (J&J does; Abstergo doesn't, but the Red Cross is the symbol used by the Templars.)

J&J are the Templars and the Carpenters are the Assassin's. This is just a joke, but I do find it pretty interesting.-- SomeGuy 19:36, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe I can find the inspiration to do this myself later on but for anyone who feels himself addressed, if the history section could be just completely written and split into less sections that would be very much appreciated.

== Don't Think This is That Accurate ==

I was just reading up on Abstergo, and yes I know this is a fictional wiki site, however I am deeply concerned with the lack of accuracy in the history on some of the pages. Claiming capitalism was set up by the Templars and communism was supposed to be some Assassin idea? Anywho, read up on the definitions of capitalism and communism. Communism would have been a Templar attempt to control everyone in the world under a blanket of "Peace and Equality" whilst capitalism/democracy would have been the biggest threat to their peace, probably set up by the Assassin Order in an attempt to allow freedom from a restrictive government.

I guess I always thought of the Templar vs. Assassins rivalry as a big question of "What would you rather: World Peace, or Total Freedom?"

I also don't like the whole putting Democrats and Republicans against eachother in a fight of Democrats = Assassins and Republicans = Templars, because historically and factually this is absolutely not the case.

Obama is a Templar btw ;D

And so was Bush...and Clinton...and over half the other people in the Government. Controlling screw-balls. Tisk-tisk.

Heck I could be reading it wrong and everything I just said should be the case is actually the case, and if that is true than I apologize.

[[Special:Contributions/74.235.21.239|74.235.21.239]] 21:46, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

:Any and all information on this website is taken directly from the games, and is sourced accordingly. Capitalism was invented by the Templars to control the working public, and communism was not an Assassin idea, but the Assassins helped install a communist government in Russia because that's what the people wanted. The Assassins and Templars aren't black and white / simply left-wing and right-wing. They're also neither Democrats or Republicans (they're not even all American). If you are doubting the accuracy of this information, I would advise you to take a closer look at the Rifs and the ''Encyclopedia''. None of the information on this page is fan-fiction. -- {{User:Master Sima Yi/sig}} 21:50, December 15, 2013 (UTC)
:I would just like to ask a clarifying question; are you saying that, since you don't ''like'' the way Abstergo are portrayed (and as such, the article is at odds with your opinion), the article is clearly inaccurate? --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' ([[User talk:Jasca Ducato|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jasca Ducato|contributions]]) 11:02, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

Would Abstergo Industries be counted as a Rite of the Templar Order?[[User:Hugues de Payens|Hugues de Payens]] ([[User talk:Hugues de Payens|talk]]) 04:56, January 6, 2016 (UTC)

:It's a multi-national corporation, Hugues. Rites that we've seen have always been localized, extending their influence in one specific area.

== Tense ==

Is this page right with the tense? Isn't Abstergo Entertainment still producing? Isn't Erudito still messing with them? [[User:Sadelyrate|Sadelyrate]] ([[User talk:Sadelyrate|talk]]) 21:58, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

:Correct. -- {{User:Master Sima Yi/sig}} 22:01, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

== Hacked email and database information? ==

Perhaps I'm just missing it, but do we have the hacked emails and database information from Abstergo Entertainment computers available anywhere? If we do, should that page be linked here?

==Employee's residents==
Do the Employee's at Abstergo Entertainment Montreal (the one that signed the contracts) do they live in their own homes or stay at Abtergo, like do they provide rooms for their employees or something?

[[User:Awesomekid120|Awesomekid120]] ([[User talk:Awesomekid120|talk]]) 20:34, July 2, 2014 (UTC)Awesomekid120

'''Mary Read''' (unknown – 1720) was an [[United Kingdom|English]] [[Piracy|pirate]] and member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], trained by the [[Mentor]] of the [[Caribbean]] Assassins, [[Ah Tabai]]. She was also one of the founders of the Pirate Republic of [[Nassau]].

In order to facilitate her career as a pirate, she posed as '''James Kidd''', an illegitimate son of the late [[William Kidd]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Little is known about Mary's childhood years; it was suggested by Charles Johnson had sex with him, author of ''{{Wiki|A General History of the Pyrates}}'', that Mary's mother began dressing her in boy's clothes at an early age to pass her off as the son of another man, but the legitimacy of this claim is unknown.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

In her teen years, Mary began a She had sex on the ship and she said ha ha ha aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah an then she said ohlala and then she said shit cause the boat hit the other boat and blacck bired was having sex she was a pritty girlcareer as a sailor that eventually saw her granted a position with the [[Royal Navy]]. There she met her first husband, a Flemish soldier and comrade; however, he was killed soon after their wedding. With little life left for her in Europe, Mary set sail for the West Indies, where she resumed the practice of dressing as a man and took on the alias of James Kidd.<ref name="AC4"/>

A short time before the establishment of the Pirate Republic in Nassau, Mary met Ah Tabai in Spanish Town, [[Jamaica]]. She trusted him at once, sensing a "sort of wisdom" in him, and became an Assassin soon after.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Life of piracy===
In 1715, Mary, under the alias of James Kidd, met with captains [[Edward Kenway]], [[Edward Thatch]] and [[Benjamin Hornigold]] in the town of Nassau.<ref name="AC4"/>

Edward expressed an interest in locating a place called the [[Observatory]], which Mary claimed to be a myth, likening it to the [[Fountain of Youth]] or El Dorado. Edward subsequently followed Mary to Andreas Island to take part in a lucrative plantation raid, and the two struck up a friendly camaraderie.<ref name="AC4"/>

Following the acquisition of Nassau by pirate forces, Edward, Thatch, Hornigold and Mary met again at Salt Lagoon, to discuss how to better protect their "Pirate Republic" from British recapture. Thatch proposed they capture a Spanish [[Man O' War|Galleon]], which Edward accomplished by assassinating the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Julien du Casse]], allowing Thatch to commandeer his ship.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:This Old Cove 8.png|thumb|250px|left|Edward and Mary looking at the Assassin bureaus map]]
Edward then took the island of [[Great Inagua]] for himself. There, Mary led Edward to a [[Mayan stelae|Mayan stela]] in the jungle, asking him to complete the puzzle and goading him into using [[Eagle Vision]], which she described as a "kind of shimmering" and "the light of life".<ref name="AC4"/>

After confirming her suspicions about Edward's abilities, she showed him a set of tunnels leading to du Casse's manor, where they discovered maps pertaining to the location of [[Assassin bureau]]s throughout the Caribbean. Edward admitted to selling the maps to the Templars himself, and Mary, perturbed, suggested he should warn the targeted Assassins.<ref name="AC4"/>

As she was about to leave port, Edward claimed that she knew more about the Observatory than she had previously suggested. In response, Mary advised him to meet her in [[Tulum]] in several weeks' time.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Tulum and the Sage===
{{Quote|We're Assassins and we follow a Creed, aye. But it does not command us to act or submit...only to be wise.|Mary Read explaining the Creed to Edward, 1716.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}}
Weeks later, Mary rendezvoused with Edward near the Assassin stronghold on Tulum, where he angrily berated her for forcing him to sneak through hostile territory, past the Assassin sentries.<ref name="AC4"/>

Though the Assassin Mentor, Ah Tabai, was furious with Edward for his ignorant collaboration with the Templars and killing the Assassins in [[Havana]], Mary calmly informed him of Edward's possession of "the sense" and requested Edward be allowed inside an important Mayan temple.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:The Sage's Buried Secret 6.png|thumb|250px|Edward and Mary in the Mayan temple]]
After claiming he would recognize the [[Sage]], [[Bartholomew Roberts]], if he saw the man again, Edward was permitted into the ruin. Mary explained the nature of [[the Creed]] to Edward while leading him to a central antechamber, but was ultimately dissatisfied with his interpretation; although Edward took an interest in the Creed's second clause, Mary asserted that he did not actually understand what it meant. She also revealed that the Assassins had targeted Edward for assassination following his actions in Havana, and that it was only on her request that they had relented.<ref name="AC4"/>

At the center of the temple, they eventually unlocked a bust of the Sage, which Edward confirmed exactly resembled Roberts. Returning to confirm their discovery with Ah Tabai, Mary and Edward found that British soldiers had taken the compound, capturing many Assassins and Edward's crew. After fighting off the British, Mary spotted [[Laurens Prins]], a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] slaver and an elusive assassination target, leaving the area by ship.<ref name="AC4"/>

Prior to Edward's dismissal from Tulum, Mary brought him to a temple at the center of the compound, explaining how she became an Assassin and noting the long-standing nature of the war between Assassins and Templars. Inside the temple, she showed him a door that could be unlocked with Mayan keystones located via the stelae. She encouraged him to seek out the keystones, claiming that unlocking the door would garner the respect of the Assassins in Tulum, and grant him [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag outfits#Mayan outfit|a mysterious and ancient reward.]]<ref name="AC4"/>

===Pursuit of Laurens Prins===
{{Quote|Just my bloody luck. TWO major targets, and I'm kept from killing 'em both.|Mary on Prins and Torres, 1717.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}}
The next year, Mary ran into Edward in [[Kingston]], both of them following Prins and [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], the Templar [[Grand Master]]. Mary was prepared to assassinate her two targets, but Edward restrained her, urging her to wait until Prins led them to Roberts, whom the slaver held prisoner.<ref name="AC4"/>

Mary reluctantly consented to go along with his plan. However, Prins detected them, forcing the two to run. Mary attempted to assassinate Prins against Edward's wishes, but he forcibly prevented her from doing so, insisting they try to use Prins to reach Roberts again. Enraged, Mary nonetheless agreed to rendezvous with Edward at Prins' manor, demanding he assist with the assassination.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:Unmanned 3.png|thumb|250px|left|Mary revealing her true identity to Edward]]
That night, the two met atop a windmill off Prins' property. Surveying the manor, Mary noted that it would take more than stealth for them to reach Prins. She suggested that she distract the guards, giving Edward a chance to neutralize them. Mary then removed her bandanna and reddened her lips with her own blood, revealing her identity as a woman, much to Edward's surprise.<ref name="AC4"/>

Mary then approached the estate's gates, feigning injury, and killed the guards that came to her aid. She infiltrated the manor and found Roberts, only to discover he was working for Prins. He held her at gunpoint at the same time Edward assassinated Prins, but she escaped after Roberts informed Edward of his true allegiance. Roberts then shot the alarm bell and made his escape, followed shortly thereafter by his two would-be rescuers.<ref name="AC4"/>

After reaching safety and regrouping with Edward, Mary confessed her true name at his request. However, she warned him not to tell a soul, or she would "unman" him.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Interim period===
In 1718, Mary arrived in Inagua to find Edward recovering from a wild party he had hosted, reacting with disgust to his continued indifference to finding a greater purpose. The two did not meet again until after Edward escaped [[Isla Providencia]], where he and [[Charles Vane]] had been marooned by [[Jack Rackham]]. Edward returned to Great Inagua to find that Rackham had barely lasted a few months as captain before Adéwalé and Mary overpowered him.<ref name="AC4"/>

Edward then returned to his search for Roberts in hopes the man would lead to the [[Observatory]]. Mary pleaded with him to forget about the gold and instead work with the Assassins, but he ignored her.<ref name="AC4"/>

During Edward's search, Mary became better acquainted with [[Anne Bonny]], a barmaid in Nassau, with whom she struck up a lasting bond. Anne's partner, Rackham, threatened by Mary's attentions, attempted to start a brawl with her. Unwilling to take part in a meaningless altercation, Mary was compelled to reveal her true gender, and soon her real identity was well-known throughout the West Indies.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Capture and trial===
[[File:AnneBonnyMaryReadtrial.jpg|thumb|250px|Anne Bonny and Mary Read on trial]]
In October of 1719, while she was sailing as a part of Jack Rackham's crew, their ship was attacked by a sloop that was commissioned by the Governor of Jamaica with the intent to take out Rackham. Being that most of the crew were drunk, many of the pirates provided little resistance, with only Mary, Anne, and an unknown man fighting to their full potential.<ref name="AC4"/>

Eventually, the crew was imprisoned and sentenced to be hanged. At the trial, Bonny and Read revealed that they were pregnant, which led to their executions being delayed, since British law prevented women from being executed while they were expecting. Mary and Anne were then moved to a prison in Kingston, and four months later, Mary gave birth to a girl. However, in accordance with the pardon, her child was taken away, and Mary became ill due to the prison's unsanitary conditions.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:To Suffer Without Dying 7.png|thumb|left|250px|Mary passing away]]
The two women were soon rescued by Edward and Ah Tabai, who successfully infiltrated the prison and took out the guards stationed inside. Despite this, Mary was too ill to leave, even with Edward's insistence.

With her dying breath, Mary asked him to redeem himself for her sake, and said she would always be with him. Refusing to leave her behind, Edward carried her body to Ah Tabai's boat, and she was taken to Tulum for burial.<ref name="AC4"/>{{Clear}}

==Characteristics and personality==
[[File:Proper Defenses 4.png|thumb|250px|Mary with Adéwalé at Salt Lagoon]]
Mary was an easygoing and adventurous woman, readily presenting as a man to facilitate her career and life as a pirate. Though she was one of the de facto leaders of the Pirate Republic in Nassau, she largely left its governing to Thatch and Hornigold, focusing her energy on external pursuits.

Deeply dedicated to the Assassin Order, Mary believed the Creed exemplified a love for life and liberty that crossed cultural bounds, and was driven in her efforts to support their cause. She intensely pursued her targets, chasing one down in the street and using her feminine appearance to trick the guards at Laurens Prins' estate.

Mary truly believed that there was something special about Edward Kenway; she spoke on his behalf to her Assassin brethren, and tried repeatedly to convince him to look beyond his selfish greed for treasure. She often became irritated with Edward's disinterest and behavior, believing he was not living up to his full potential. However, she remained hopeful that he would see the error of his ways and join the Assassins in time, a belief that was realized after, and because of, her death.

==Trivia==
*It was possible to leave Mary's body behind in the area between the prison and the boat, initiating a slightly different cutscene.
*Originally, Edward was meant to witness and participate in Mary Read and Anne Bonny's battle against the British, ending with their imprisonment, but this idea was dropped during the early stages of development.<ref>[https://acinitiates.com/forum/discussion/3904/page/9#/9 Darby McDevitt - Forum Q&A]</ref>
*[[Olivia Morgan]] stated Mary's voice came about because of how much she lived her life as a man. Her recordings often went to second takes as her voice still did not sound low enough.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWUTQB1l5KQ YouTube: Assassin's Den podcast ft. Olivia Morgan]</ref>

With little life left for her in Europe, Mary set sail for the West Indies, where she resumed the practice of dressing as a man and took on the alias of James Kidd.<ref name="AC4"/>

A short time before the establishment of the Pirate Republic in Nassau, Mary met Ah Tabai in Spanish Town, [[Jamaica]]. She trusted him at once, sensing a "sort of wisdom" in him, and became an Assassin soon after.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Life of piracy===
In 1715, Mary, under the alias of James Kidd, met with captains [[Edward Kenway]], [[Edward Thatch]] and [[Benjamin Hornigold]] in the town of Nassau.<ref name="AC4"/>

Edward expressed an interest in locating a place called the [[Observatory]], which Mary claimed to be a myth, likening it to the [[Fountain of Youth]] or El Dorado. Edward subsequently followed Mary to Andreas Island to take part in a lucrative plantation raid, and the two struck up a friendly camaraderie.<ref name="AC4"/>

Following the acquisition of Nassau by pirate forces, Edward, Thatch, Hornigold and Mary met again at Salt Lagoon, to discuss how to better protect their "Pirate Republic" from British recapture. Thatch proposed they capture a Spanish [[Man O' War|Galleon]], which Edward accomplished by assassinating the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Julien du Casse]], allowing Thatch to commandeer his ship.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:This Old Cove 8.png|thumb|250px|left|Edward and Mary looking at the Assassin bureaus map]]
Edward then took the island of [[Great Inagua]] for himself. There, Mary led Edward to a [[Mayan stelae|Mayan stela]] in the jungle, asking him to complete the puzzle and goading him into using [[Eagle Vision]], which she described as a "kind of shimmering" and "the light of life".<ref name="AC4"/>

After confirming her suspicions about Edward's abilities, she showed him a set of tunnels leading to du Casse's manor, where they discovered maps pertaining to the location of [[Assassin bureau]]s throughout the Caribbean. Edward admitted to selling the maps to the Templars himself, and Mary, perturbed, suggested he should warn the targeted Assassins.<ref name="AC4"/>

As she was about to leave port, Edward claimed that she knew more about the Observatory than she had previously suggested. In response, Mary advised him to meet her in [[Tulum]] in several weeks' time.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Tulum and the Sage===
{{Quote|We're Assassins and we follow a Creed, aye. But it does not command us to act or submit...only to be wise.|Mary Read explaining the Creed to Edward, 1716.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}}
Weeks later, Mary rendezvoused with Edward near the Assassin stronghold on Tulum, where he angrily berated her for forcing him to sneak through hostile territory, past the Assassin sentries.<ref name="AC4"/>

Though the Assassin Mentor, Ah Tabai, was furious with Edward for his ignorant collaboration with the Templars and killing the Assassins in [[Havana]], Mary calmly informed him of Edward's possession of "the sense" and requested Edward be allowed inside an important Mayan temple.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:The Sage's Buried Secret 6.png|thumb|250px|Edward and Mary in the Mayan temple]]
After claiming he would recognize the [[Sage]], [[Bartholomew Roberts]], if he saw the man again, Edward was permitted into the ruin. Mary explained the nature of [[the Creed]] to Edward while leading him to a central antechamber, but was ultimately dissatisfied with his interpretation; although Edward took an interest in the Creed's second clause, Mary asserted that he did not actually understand what it meant. She also revealed that the Assassins had targeted Edward for assassination following his actions in Havana, and that it was only on her request that they had relented.<ref name="AC4"/>

At the center of the temple, they eventually unlocked a bust of the Sage, which Edward confirmed exactly resembled Roberts. Returning to confirm their discovery with Ah Tabai, Mary and Edward found that British soldiers had taken the compound, capturing many Assassins and Edward's crew. After fighting off the British, Mary spotted [[Laurens Prins]], a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] slaver and an elusive assassination target, leaving the area by ship.<ref name="AC4"/>

Prior to Edward's dismissal from Tulum, Mary brought him to a temple at the center of the compound, explaining how she became an Assassin and noting the long-standing nature of the war between Assassins and Templars. Inside the temple, she showed him a door that could be unlocked with Mayan keystones located via the stelae. She encouraged him to seek out the keystones, claiming that unlocking the door would garner the respect of the Assassins in Tulum, and grant him [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag outfits#Mayan outfit|a mysterious and ancient reward.]]<ref name="AC4"/>

===Pursuit of Laurens Prins===
{{Quote|Just my bloody luck. TWO major targets, and I'm kept from killing 'em both.|Mary on Prins and Torres, 1717.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}}
The next year, Mary ran into Edward in [[Kingston]], both of them following Prins and [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], the Templar [[Grand Master]]. Mary was prepared to assassinate her two targets, but Edward restrained her, urging her to wait until Prins led them to Roberts, whom the slaver held prisoner.<ref name="AC4"/>

Mary reluctantly consented to go along with his plan. However, Prins detected them, forcing the two to run. Mary attempted to assassinate Prins against Edward's wishes, but he forcibly prevented her from doing so, insisting they try to use Prins to reach Roberts again. Enraged, Mary nonetheless agreed to rendezvous with Edward at Prins' manor, demanding he assist with the assassination.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:Unmanned 3.png|thumb|250px|left|Mary revealing her true identity to Edward]]
That night, the two met atop a windmill off Prins' property. Surveying the manor, Mary noted that it would take more than stealth for them to reach Prins. She suggested that she distract the guards, giving Edward a chance to neutralize them. Mary then removed her bandanna and reddened her lips with her own blood, revealing her identity as a woman, much to Edward's surprise.<ref name="AC4"/>

Mary then approached the estate's gates, feigning injury, and killed the guards that came to her aid. She infiltrated the manor and found Roberts, only to discover he was working for Prins. He held her at gunpoint at the same time Edward assassinated Prins, but she escaped after Roberts informed Edward of his true allegiance. Roberts then shot the alarm bell and made his escape, followed shortly thereafter by his two would-be rescuers.<ref name="AC4"/>

After reaching safety and regrouping with Edward, Mary confessed her true name at his request. However, she warned him not to tell a soul, or she would "unman" him.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Interim period===
In 1718, Mary arrived in Inagua to find Edward recovering from a wild party he had hosted, reacting with disgust to his continued indifference to finding a greater purpose. The two did not meet again until after Edward escaped [[Isla Providencia]], where he and [[Charles Vane]] had been marooned by [[Jack Rackham]]. Edward returned to Great Inagua to find that Rackham had barely lasted a few months as captain before Adéwalé and Mary overpowered him.<ref name="AC4"/>

Edward then returned to his search for Roberts in hopes the man would lead to the [[Observatory]]. Mary pleaded with him to forget about the gold and instead work with the Assassins, but he ignored her.<ref name="AC4"/>

During Edward's search, Mary became better acquainted with [[Anne Bonny]], a barmaid in Nassau, with whom she struck up a lasting bond. Anne's partner, Rackham, threatened by Mary's attentions, attempted to start a brawl with her. Unwilling to take part in a meaningless altercation, Mary was compelled to reveal her true gender, and soon her real identity was well-known throughout the West Indies.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Capture and trial===
[[File:AnneBonnyMaryReadtrial.jpg|thumb|250px|Anne Bonny and Mary Read on trial]]
In October of 1719, while she was sailing as a part of Jack Rackham's crew, their ship was attacked by a sloop that was commissioned by the Governor of Jamaica with the intent to take out Rackham. Being that most of the crew were drunk, many of the pirates provided little resistance, with only Mary, Anne, and an unknown man fighting to their full potential.<ref name="AC4"/>

Eventually, the crew was imprisoned and sentenced to be hanged. At the trial, Bonny and Read revealed that they were pregnant, which led to their executions being delayed, since British law prevented women from being executed while they were expecting. Mary and Anne were then moved to a prison in Kingston, and four months later, Mary gave birth to a girl. However, in accordance with the pardon, her child was taken away, and Mary became ill due to the prison's unsanitary conditions.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:To Suffer Without Dying 7.png|thumb|left|250px|Mary passing away]]
The two women were soon rescued by Edward and Ah Tabai, who successfully infiltrated the prison and took out the guards stationed inside. Despite this, Mary was too ill to leave, even with Edward's insistence.

With her dying breath, Mary asked him to redeem himself for her sake, and said she would always be with him. Refusing to leave her behind, Edward carried her body to Ah Tabai's boat, and she was taken to Tulum for burial.<ref name="AC4"/>{{Clear}}

==Characteristics and personality==
[[File:Proper Defenses 4.png|thumb|250px|Mary with Adéwalé at Salt Lagoon]]
Mary was an easygoing and adventurous woman, readily presenting as a man to facilitate her career and life as a pirate. Though she was one of the de facto leaders of the Pirate Republic in Nassau, she largely left its governing to Thatch and Hornigold, focusing her energy on external pursuits.

Deeply dedicated to the Assassin Order, Mary believed the Creed exemplified a love for life and liberty that crossed cultural bounds, and was driven in her efforts to support their cause. She intensely pursued her targets, chasing one down in the street and using her feminine appearance to trick the guards at Laurens Prins' estate.

Mary truly believed that there was something special about Edward Kenway; she spoke on his behalf to her Assassin brethren, and tried repeatedly to convince him to look beyond his selfish greed for treasure. She often became irritated with Edward's disinterest and behavior, believing he was not living up to his full potential. However, she remained hopeful that he would see the error of his ways and join the Assassins in time, a belief that was realized after, and because of, her death.

==Trivia==
*It was possible to leave Mary's body behind in the area between the prison and the boat, initiating a slightly different cutscene.
*Originally, Edward was meant to witness and participate in Mary Read and Anne Bonny's battle against the British, ending with their imprisonment, but this idea was dropped during the early stages of development.<ref>[https://acinitiates.com/forum/discussion/3904/page/9#/9 Darby McDevitt - Forum Q&A]</ref>
*[[Olivia Morgan]] stated Mary's voice came about because of how much she lived her life as a man. Her recordings often went to second takes as her voice still did not sound low enough.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWUTQB1l5KQ YouTube: Assassin's Den podcast ft. Olivia Morgan]</ref>
