===Assassinations===
On 14 April 1865, [[John Wilkes Booth]] plotted and executed the murder of President Abraham Lincoln. His attack was succesful, though is accomplices failed to take out the other two targets. Booth tried to escape but was eventually cornered and shot in the confusion. Unknown to all the others, Booth was actually killed by the [[Assassins]], as his plans were a threat to the world.<ref name="ac2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' - [[Glyphs|Glyph]]</ref>

===Philadelphia Project===
In 1943, [[Abstergo Industries]] experimented with the possibilities of invicibility and time-travelling, resulting in the [[Philadelphia Project]]. Through the use of a [[Piece of Eden]], they managed to send a ship to the future, where it stayed for aproximately 18 minutes before returning to the normal timeline.<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

===Daniel Cross===
During the late 20th century, [[Daniel Cross]] lived in Philadelphia, where he lived a life of halucinations, drugs and alcohol. After a heavy night of drinking, he tried to assassinate a man he though was a [[Templars|Templar]], but was taken away by [[Hannah Mueller]] before he could do any harm. She took him to an Assassin camp, where he met with [[Paul Bellamy]], though he didn't stay long and went back to his apartment to get his medication. Though when he and Hannah arrived, he realized he didn't have any medication left.<ref name="ac:tf">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''</ref>

Paul Bellamy also made his way to the appartment, having realized why Daniel Cross was having halucinations, he told of his great-grandfather, [[Nikolai Orelov]]. Daniel had another halucination and realized he had to meet [[The Mentor (2000)|The Mentor]].<ref name="ac:tf">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''</ref>

When he finally met the Mentor, and was handed a [[Hidden Blade]], the experiments Abstergo had used him for started giving him the urge to assassinate the Mentor, which he did.<ref name="ac:tf">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''</ref>

After that, he traveled back to Abstergo Industries' lab in Philadelphia, where the Templars got all the information they needed to deal a major blow to the Assassins from him. He was then placed in the [[Animus]] to explore his ancestors memories.<ref name="ac:tf">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''</ref>

===DIA satellite accident===
In the early 21th century, the [[DIA satellite accident]] took place at Denver International Airport. The presise nature and time of the accident remain unclear, but Abstergo lost on of their Pieces of Eden in te accident, which caused a delay for the launch of the Eye-Abstergo satellite as they had planned to.<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

Also, in 2012, a team of Assassins was based in [[Denver]].
