'''Erudito''' was either an individual or a collective of several people who possessed one goal – to directly oppose [[Abstergo Industries]], and make secretive truths about the corporation known.

Though it is unclear whether Erudito was one or many people, evidence does suggest that the idea of a collection of several independent users was more likely. Despite this, each of those who made up the '''Erudito Collective''' were united by their common purpose.<ref name="Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjU0qXXZpck ''"Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia - The Making Of"'', from UbiWorkshop]</ref>

Erudito often made use of [[e-mails]] to spread such information, some of them coming into contact with [[Desmond Miles]], and the [[Abstergo recruits|participants]] in Abstergo's [[Data Dump Scanner|DDS Program]].

==Biography==
===DDS Program===
{{quote|...you must understand that contact with this "Erudito" user will not be tolerated.|Abstergo to one of its DDS recruits.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}

In an attempt to educate and protect the recruits participating in Abstergo's DDS Program, Erudito hacked into the DDS itself, and began communicating with its users through e-mail, or within the record of memories themselves.<ref name="Project Legacy">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

Erudito made several memories accessible to the recruits, which had previously been blocked by Abstergo. Most contained valuable information on the [[Assassins]], or on [[Pieces of Eden]] such as [[the Shroud]].<ref name="Project Legacy" />

At one such point, Erudito commented, ''"Abstergo's not going to be happy I'm showing you this, which is exactly why I'm doing so. [...] They want you to stumble onto something without making any sense of it! Good thing I'll be watching too!"'' However, the memory was interrupted shortly after being accessed, as it had allegedly been "corrupted by outside intrusions."<ref name="Project Legacy" />

Most of Erudito's e-mails to the Abstergo recruits cautioned them on carelessness, or drawing attention by acting too confident or pandering. In one, he dissuaded the recruits from submitting their genealogies to Abstergo, which could potentially result in them having their memories farmed for the DDS Program.<ref name="Project Legacy" />

Over time, Erudito's interference was detected by Abstergo, and an email survey (with a subject line reading "INTRUDER") was sent to all DDS participants, asking them what they knew of Erudito. Any recruit who feigned ignorance received an e-mail from Erudito that simply read "<nowiki>:)</nowiki>".<ref name="Project Legacy" />

Alternatively, those recruits who offered to submit a full report on Erudito received a message from Abstergo mentioning that ''"If we can track his patterns, we can begin to block his access to the DDS system and continue our work without further interruptions."''<ref name="Project Legacy" />

This message is followed closely by an e-mail from Erudito himself, reading ''"You reported me? That stings. Not that it really matters... I am miles ahead of these goons. I'm going to have to work harder to open your eyes, aren't I?"''<ref name="Project Legacy" />

On Monday, 4 July 2011, Erudito hacked into the DDS [http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=128849663818621 main page], and proceeded to change the logo into a red and inverted version of the Abstergo logo, under which read "-_-Erudito Industries-_-". He also shared [http://abstergoindustries.com/securefiles/ a link] to some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAR RAR] files containing the information regarding the [[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy#Divine Science|Divine Science memories]].

His interferences eventually led to a halt in the project, due to the risk of security concerns.<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

===Assassin Teams===
{{Quote|Make sure you stay in the loop.|Erudito's advice for Desmond.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}

On 22 September 2012, Erudito sent an e-mail to Desmond Miles through the [[Hephaestus Email Network]], in order to inform him of the e-mail passwords of the other Assassins within his team. The message included a request for him to "stay in the loop," and keep himself educated in the exchanges between [[Lucy Stillman]], [[Shaun Hastings]], and [[Rebecca Crane]].<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==Alternative Reality==
===Abstergo Sweater===
On Thursday, January 13, 2011, anyone who had ordered an Abstergo staff sweater through [http://ubiworkshop.myshopify.com/ Ubiworkshop] received an email from Erudito, which explained the binary code written on the back of it.

{{email
|from = Erudito
|to = Abstergo recruit
|datetime = [relative]
|subject = Hoopsie Hoody
|message = Like my handy work? __-_-__
It's amazing how a few clicks can mar a whole production line 
 
So now. Take this................. 
01001100 
01001111 
01000111 
01001001 
01001110 
 
put it there -------> [http://www.abstergoindustries.com/ www.AbstergoIndustries.com]
 
PFRDVJ5aLLg <------- and use that
 
Puzzle time, People. Let’s get hackin’ __-_-__}}

By adding the binary to the end of the URL, and by using the user's unique code, they were able to access the Abstergo company email inbox. There were several sections within the inbox that could not be accessed except with a higher security level.

===Datadumpscanner===
From time to time, Erudito would also hack into the [http://twitter.com/#!/datadumpscanner datadumpscanner], a data feed on [http://twitter.com/ Twitter], so as to interact with the users. The times interactions have been made through this method include Friday, October 15, 2010; Friday, October 29, 2010; Friday, November 12, 2010; Friday, December 03, 2010; Monday, December 17; and Tuesday, June 21 2011.

==Trivia==
*"Erudito" is Italian for "scholar" or "learned one," which is appropriate considering how much information Erudito has gathered on Abstergo.
*When rearranged, the letters ERUDITO spell out UDITORE (Italian for "auditor") which is the word "Auditore" with no "A", which in turn is the last name of [[Ezio Auditore]].
*When you "like" [http://www.facebook.com/GameStop Gamestop] on Facebook, you get an item called Erudito's Network for ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', which gives you a higher probability to receive XP, Florins or chance items.
