'''Clay Kaczmarek'''<ref name="Encyclopedia">''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]''</ref> (1982 - 2012), also known as '''Subject 16''' of the [[Animus Project]], was an individual who had been kidnapped by [[Abstergo Industries]] and forced to relive his ancestors' memories in the [[Animus]].

After his alleged suicide, Clay continued to exist as an AI recreation of his personality within the Animus. As such, he was able to manipulate much of the Animus' programming from within to aid another [[Animus Subjects|Animus subject]], [[Desmond Miles]].

==Biography==
{{Quote|Though the specific symptoms may vary from subject to subject, the end result is the same: they lose their minds. This is what I believe happened to Subject Sixteen.|Lucy, in an e-mail to Warren.|Assassin's Creed}}

Clay was captured by the [[Templars|Templar]]-owned organization Abstergo Industries for use in the [[genetic memory]] program. Held within the [[Abstergo laboratory]] by Dr. [[Warren Vidic]], Clay was kept connected to the Animus for dangerously long periods, sometimes even days at a time. This led to him severely suffering from a condition known as the "[[Bleeding effect]]."<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

Through this Bleeding effect, Clay began to explore the memories of his ancestors without the use of the Animus; but his inability to control these visions forced him into a downward spiral of insanity, eventually culminating in his evident suicide.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

Before this event, Clay was forced to explore the memories of his ancestor Ezio Auditore, who the Templars knew had located [[Vatican Vault|the Vault]] during his lifetime. However, he was never able to relive the desired memory.<ref name="AC2"/> Clay made an artificially intelligent construct of himself inside the Animus, splitting it into twenty-four pieces to be united by his successor. The next day,<ref name="ACRV">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref> Clay killed himself by draining his body of blood, in order to paint several [[cryptic messages]] in the rooms where he was being kept, hoping to prevent the Templars from reaching their goals.<ref name="AC2" />

===The Truth===
{{Quote|He'd be able to explain the whole thing to us. If only we could ask him.|Lucy, after seeing the Truth.|Assassin's Creed II}}
Following the escape of Desmond Miles from Abstergo and the beginning of his journey through the memories of Ezio, the Assassins learned that Clay had managed to hack the Abstergo Animus before his death, and had placed twenty [[Glyphs]] throughout the Animus system, which were subsequently rendered in the visual memories. These encrypted files, which had been saved onto the Abstergo Animus' memory core that Lucy had stolen, were later unknowingly transferred to [[Rebecca Crane]]'s Animus 2.0.<ref name="AC2"/>

After decrypting all twenty files, the Assassins were rewarded with a genetic memory marked "[[The Truth|date classified BCE]]." The video showed two [[Free Running|free-runners]], primordial [[Adam]] and [[Eve]], climbing a large glass structure with an [[Apples of Eden|Apple of Eden]] in hand.<ref name="AC2"/>

===The Miracle===
{{Quote|Everything you hope to become, everything you hold dear, it’s already gone.|Clay's hologram to Desmond.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
[[File:Subject_16_meets_Desmond.png|thumb|250px|left|Desmond meeting Clay inside the Animus.]]
It was later discovered that Clay had left ten more glyphs, which corresponded with locations in [[Renaissance]] Rome. Upon visiting these indicated landmarks, Desmond discovered several [[Rifts]] in the Animus programming.<ref name="ACBH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

Within each, Desmond solved a Cluster puzzle, which then unlocked a piece of a file. Upon compiling them, they revealed a distorted video with the message ''"The miracle is in the execution,"'' suggesting that, unlike the video hidden in the Glyphs, the Rifts instead concealed an [[The Truth#The Miracle|executable file]].<ref name="ACBH"/>

Upon accessing it, Desmond found himself in an unknown area within the Animus, and was able to run through a long virtual maze, similar to those within the [[Animus Virtual Training Program]].<ref name="ACBH"/>

At the end of the maze, he found a hologram of Clay, partially broken and made of computing code, who told Desmond that all hope was lost, and that he needed to go to [[Eden]] to find a woman named Eve. Before vanishing, Clay told Desmond to find him in the darkness.<ref name="ACBH"/>

This proved to be the first indication of Clay's AI presence in the Animus. Though physically dead, his "essence" had been absorbed into the system, allowing him to interact with the users, and act as a third person spectator; effectively letting him see everything that went on inside the Animus.<ref name="ACRV">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

===Black Room===
{{Dialogue|Desmond|What are you doing here exactly?|Clay|Playing. Learning. Waiting. A lot of waiting.|Desmond and Clay in the Black Room.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
[[File:ACR_ClayMiles_2.png|thumb|250px|right|Clay with Desmond in the Black Room.]]
Soon after he had fallen into a coma and was returned to the Animus to support his mental state, Desmond woke to meet Clay in the [[Black Room]], a safe mode of the Animus' software. Here, Clay explained where they were, and offered advice on how to escape; telling Desmond that he needed to create a [[Sync Nexus]] and clearly separate his memories from Ezio's and [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad|Altaïr]]'s.<ref name="ACRV"/>

Clay also mentioned that the Animus would resist his attempts to view further genetic memories and keep pulling Desmond back into the simulated island they were in - the designated compartment for Desmond's consciousness. However, Clay said that he would help prevent the Animus from noticing him "wandering" into the outside partitions of memory, just in case it concluded Desmond to be a virus.<ref name="ACRV" />

At one point, as Desmond worked to return to his body, Clay asked him if he could come with him, perhaps until he could have a body of his own. As Desmond hesitantly declined, Clay admitted that he was not surprised, and that perhaps he had wasted his only chance.<ref name="ACRV"/>

[[File:ACR_ClayMiles_3.png|left|thumb|250px|Clay explaining about the Black Room.]]
On another re-entrance to the island, Clay asked Desmond if he had ever regretted anything in his life. After Desmond admitted that he had wished he had been more patient with his parents, whom he had run away from, and that he wished things would have turned out different with Lucy, Clay simply thanked Desmond for making sense before vanishing.<ref name="ACRV" />

While Desmond had come close to completing the Synch Nexus, the Animus began to attempt to rectify the intrusions he had been causing in other memories. As it began to delete the Black Room and all of its contents, Clay grabbed onto Desmond and threw him out of the room, saving Desmond's life, but Clay lost his "life" in the Animus during the process.<ref name="ACRV"/>

==Legacy==
Following Clay's death, the Templars were left without the location of the Vault; though they had gained the knowledge that another Assassin, Altaïr, had once held [[Second Apple|a certain]] [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] that could help them find it. Thus, Abstergo kidnapped a descendant of Altaïr, Desmond Miles, who they labelled Subject 17.<ref name="AC"/>

By accessing private [[e-mails]] between Animus sessions, Desmond discovered an email Lucy had written to Dr. Vidic, which detailed the Bleeding effect, and explained how it was connected to Clay. She expressed her concern in pushing the Animus subjects too hard; however, the email was never replied to, and was evidently deleted shortly after it was received.<ref name="AC"/>

Also, through the files unlocked in the glyphs Clay had created within the Animus, Desmond was able to learn many things about the Templar Order, both in the past and in his own time.<ref name="ACBH"/>

==Ancestry==
Clay Kaczmarek had a rich and varying ancestry, which quickly caught the attention of Abstergo Industries. Kaczmarek was most notably a direct descendant of [[Adam]], who was the first [[Humans|human]] alongside [[Eve]] who rose in rebellion against the [[First Civilization]]. As Adam was a child of both a human and a member of the First Civilization, Clay had a notable concentration of First Civilization genes in his blood.<ref name="AC2"/>

Clay also had ancestors in ancient Africa, in the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] forum and in the Far East. His ancestry also reached out to the [[House of Auditore]], founded by [[Domenico Auditore]] in the early 14th century.<ref name="AC2"/> His Auditore bloodline ended with [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], as Clay's next ancestor was an illegitimate child.<ref name="ACRV"/> One of his ancestors was also connected with an unknown [[wikipedia:Queen Isabella|Queen Isabella]], and his most recent known ancestor took part in the [[wikipedia:Battle of Gettysburg|Battle of Gettysburg]] in the [[United States]].<ref name="AC2"/>

==Personality and characteristics==
{{Dialogue2|Clay|They can't help you Desmond. You're a broken man. Your mind, it's... broken.|Desmond|Broken? I feel fine.|So did I!|Clay and Desmond in the Black Room.|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
[[File:ACR_ClayMiles_1.png|thumb|right|250px|Clay introducing himself to Desmond.]]
Clay was shown to be a sarcastic and witty man, usually speaking of his dire situation with cynical humor.<ref name="ACRV" /> In the initial stages of the Bleeding effect, he proved to be driven, even as his sanity began to crumble. Later on, his perception of reality and identity began to falter and switch between past lives, and he began speaking in riddles and cryptic clues. However, he kept his motivations to the end, even sacrificing his own life to reveal the Truth.<ref name="ACRV" />

Despite his own situation of being trapped in the Animus, as well as his occasional lapses of depression from his lost chances, Clay willingly helped Desmond regain his body and repair his subconscious; despite not being able to do so himself.<ref name="ACRV" />

==Trivia==
*In the [[Assassin's Creed (French comic)|''Assassin's Creed'' French comic]], Clay is referred to as "Michael." However, the graphic novel is not considered canon in this respect, as it directly contradicts the events of the games.
*The [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood achievements|achievement]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' entitled ".. .- -- .- .-.. .. ...- ." ([[wikipedia:Morse Code|Morse code]] for "I AM ALIVE") is earned by solving all Cluster puzzles. The achievement badge consists of the Morse code ".---- -....", which means "16".
*Clay took the place of [[Shaun Hastings]] as the writer of [[Database Articles|Database articles]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.
*Clay's surname Kaczmarek is of Polish origin, hinting that he may be of Polish ancestry.

Zipline

{{Stub}}
{{quote|When he tires of running, an Assassin must take to the air.|[[Yusuf Tazim]].|Assassin's Creed: Revelations}}
[[File:Revelations_ZipHook.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ezio using a zipline in [[Constantinople]].]]
'''Ziplines''' were ropes stretched between two structures that, when used in conjunction with the [[hookblade]], allowed one to quickly navigate the city.

After traveling to [[Constantinople]] and learning of the hookblade from the local [[Assassins]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] made use of ziplines to both navigate different areas, and perform air assassinations on targets below him.

==Trivia==
*Capturing a Templar Den, which converts it into an [[Assassin Dens|Assassin Den]], will increase the amount of ziplines in the area around it.
*Ziplines can be jumped upon at any point along the line.
*[[Parachute|Parachuting]] onto a zipline is required to unlock the [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations Achievements|achievement/trophy]], ''Show Off ''20G/Bronze Trophy.
*[[Byzantines]] can be seen trying to destroy ziplines after they take control of dens.
*Although much rarer, [[Byzantines]] can still be seen trying to destroy ziplines even if [[Constantinople]] is completely under [[Assassin]] control.
*[[Controls|High profile]] will make [[Ezio]] slide down the zipline faster, while low profile makes you go slightly slower.
*The starting pole of most ziplines has the [[Assassin insignia]] and a white flag on the top.
*Ezio can jump off a zipline and parachute as he's falling.

Hephaestus Email Network

2012-01-13T20:55:16Z

205.155.234.82: /* Trivia */

{{Era|Brotherhood|Assassins}}
[[File:ACBE-Mail.jpg|thumb|300px|The Hephaestus Network home screen.]]
The '''Hephaestus Email Network''' was an internet [[E-mails|e-mail]] service used by the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]].

While staying in the [[Sanctuary]] of [[Monteriggioni]], [[Desmond Miles]], [[Lucy Stillman]], [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]] exchanged several messages over the network.

Lucy informed them regularly of their schedule and tasks for the week, and the others would exchange e-mails about various trivial topics, including buying food and going out into the town.

The only outsiders who contacted them were [[Erudito]], a mysterious individual who simply informed Desmond of his teammates' e-mail passwords, and an Assassin only identified as [[William Miles|William M]].

William contacted Shaun about the status of other Assassin teams, and conversed with Lucy about Desmond's condition. He also spoke briefly to Desmond himself, upon the recovery of the [[The Da Vinci Disappearance (DLC)|restored memories of 1506]].

William informed Desmond that his progress was being monitored by Rebecca, and advised him to tell as few people as possible of their findings. Once Desmond explored all the memories, he received another e-mail from William, thanking him for his help, and requesting him not to disclose the information to either Shaun or Lucy, as their security and safety depended on it. Finally, he informed Desmond that they would meet soon.

You're doing excellent work, there is nothing for you to worry about. In terms of Desmond, however, I think you are somewhat justified in your concern. I need you to keep eye on him and report anything you observe that might be relevant.

Just a quick heads up:

There was a white unmarked van parked across the street when I went to get batteries yesterday and it was still here today when I came back with food. It's a little too non-descript for my liking and it's just the right size for surveillance gear.

I checked again a few minutes ago and it was gone but keep an eye out.

Here's an update of team locations and activities for you to pass on to the others. You'll probably be contacted by one of the members from Sao Paolo. You're their lifeline, so be ready. You'll be glad to know that everyone here is safe for the time being. I'm sure Lucy told you that you'll all be coming here once you have the [[Ezio's Apple|Apple of Eden]]. I don't know what you've heard about this place, but there will be a lot here to show you that I know you're going to love. Lots of history.

[[Moscow]]- They remain safe and secure. They are currently chasing a potential lead on another Piece of Eden, so fingers crossed on that one. I've done a little research for them myself and have confirmed a few of their suspicions so it's looking good at the moment.

Sao Paolo- They had to move safe houses again and this time it was too close. It's suspected there's a leak on their team so headquarters is looking into it. It's likely the team will go dark soon and try and flush out the mole. Hopefully they can catch it before it catches up to them but they are supported so that's a plus.

Osaka- As per plan, they are still dark. They're scheduled to make contact with headquarters in 72 hours so hopefully they're OK and have lost their tail.

:I wouldn't share this one with the others yet. I don't want to alarm them until absolutely necessary:

[[Denver]]- Off the grid and this one isn't planned. It looks like we may have lost another one. Headquarters is investigating.

Let me get straight to the point.

I noticed we have a free day on Sunday. Would you allow me to do a small session in the [[Animus]]?

Rebecca said she'd monitor me and it would be for a short while. I'm rather curious about the validity of my Norse descent.

As it would be a one-off and for a short period I really don't see any harm.

:Sorry about the slow reply, just got back from lunch. Good question! I'm not sure if we can do that, but ask again once you're back here.

:We've analyzed the tapes you left for us and Desmond seems to be progressing perfectly. I can see that you've developed a good report, just make sure that your friendship doesn't jeopardize our goals. The [[Temples]] [[Minerva]] mentioned on the last tape might be the only thing that can stop the end from arriving. Great work as always and hang in there!

===Second update===

|subject = Update
|message = Hello Shaun,

I'm still with the others, no disasters yet. It looks like Abstergo is focusing on their satellite instead of hunting for us, so that buys some time. I'm worried about Denver though. Let's try to touch base at 3AM.

You'll be up with Desmond and I'm having trouble sleeping these days anyway. The unexpected heat of this European fall is killing me. I don't know how you Continentals handle it. You might as well pass the Denver info on now that it's escalated, they have a right to know.

Moscow- They remain safe and secure. The lead they've been chasing is becoming more and more promising. It's checking out under cross reference and they've been undisturbed by Templars to date.
They're keeping security tight and staying vigilant but it's nice to get some good news for a change.

Sao Paolo- Has gone dark as per spec. The leak was confirmed and the team has set about smoking it out. They will likely move cities during their off-the-grid and will let us know where they are when they resurface.

Osaka- Made contact. Have yet to lose their tail so they have gone black until further notice.

Denver- Headquarters went to their safe house and everything was gone which means 1 of 2 things: They were attacked and captured by Templars who took all their gear for analysis OR they went code RED without warning and went off-the-grid with no time to notify headquarters. Let's hope for the latter.

Take care,

-William

:You've been waiting nearly a decade for this day, don't put Desmond in danger just because of feelings you may or may not have. We're only going to get one shot at this with the short amount of time left. Don't fail us now.

Piri Reis' shop

2012-01-13T15:48:41Z

205.155.234.82:

{{Era|ACR|Rbook}}
[[File:Piris-shop-main-view.png|thumb|250px|Inside of Piri's shop.]]
'''Piri Reis' Shop''' was a trading post in [[Constantinople]] during the [[Renaissance]]. It was located within the [[Grand Bazaar]] in the [[Imperial District]] of the city.

==History==
The shop was owned and managed by [[Piri Reis]], an [[Ottomans|Ottoman]] admiral, geographer, cartographer, and covert member of the [[Turkish Assassins]]. Piri's experience provided his brothers with vast knowledge of [[Bombs|bomb-crafting]], as well as ingredients required for the bombs.

When [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] arrived in Constantinople during his search for the [[Masyaf Keys]] during the early 16th century, he visited Piri's shop on the advice of the local [[Assassin leader]], [[Yusuf Tazim]]. Ezio inquired about Piri's special bombs, in usage of which he was instructed.

Apart from supplying the bomb components, the shop served a function similar to an [[Assassin Dens|Assassin Den]], having a [[Bomb-crafting stations|bomb-crafting station]] and a [[Mediterranean Defense|map]] which Ezio could use to manage the [[Apprentices|Assassin recruits]].

*Along with selling bomb ingredients, Piri Reis also purchased ingredients for a little less than what he sells them for.

Rome hideout

2012-01-12T18:55:16Z

205.155.234.82: /* Main Room */

{{era|ac2|acb}}
:''You may be looking for the [[Tiber Island headquarters|Tiber Island hideout]], [[Galata headquarters|Galata hideout]] or the [[Sanctuary]].''
[[File:4640749520 4ce20e0ebc.jpg|thumb|300px|Panoramic view of the hideout.]]
The '''hideout''' was the base for a team of [[Modern Times|modern day]] [[Assassins]], consisting of [[Lucy Stillman]], [[Shaun Hastings]], [[Rebecca Crane]], and [[Desmond Miles]] during the year 2012.

==Description==
The building itself was located in [[Italy]], south of [[Monteriggioni]]. The building was divided into the warehouse and the loft area, which branched into the main room and three other rooms; one of which was locked with a reinforced metal door.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassins Creed II]]''</ref><ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassins Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==Main Room==
[[File:AC-Home Assassins-Hideout1.jpg|thumb|300px|The hideout's main room.]]
The main room contained most of the team's equipment, including the [[Animus]] 2.0, and the desks of each of the Assassins. A small fenced off area also contained a couch and a double bed.<ref name="AC2" />

Lucy was usually found sitting at her desk, working on her computer. Her role was keeping track of the Assassin parties outside of the hideout, who were actively fighting the [[Templars]].<ref name="AC2" />

Shaun acted as a researcher, and sat at a desk next to a bookshelf and cork boards, which were hung with pictures and maps. There, he wrote the Animus' [[database]], as well as provided tactical support for the other Assassins out in the field.<ref name="AC2" />

Rebecca worked next to the Animus, keeping record of its performance, and maintaining its mechanism. She also added notes to the database using the username "RebeccaC84", such as to remind Desmond that a hidden [[Glyphs|Glyph]] could be found near a certain location.<ref name="AC2" />

==Warehouse==
The ground floor of the building contained a large warehouse with stacks of crates, shelves and a small garage. Desmond practiced his [[Free Running]] skills here, climbing across the boxes and rafters of the warehouse. The area also contained the building's security systems.<ref name="AC2" />

==Trivia==
* While using [[Eagle Vision]], the road blockers on either side of the garage door are seen in blue, as if they are allies.
* If you look outside the windows in the main interior of the hideout, all of the surrounding buildings use the same models that are used in Ezio's memories.
* The keyboards used by Lucy and the other Assassins are unusual in that they seem to "mirror" standard keyboards, with number pads and the Enter key located on the left side.
* A picture and the word "alert" can be seen on Lucy's and Shaun's computer monitors.
* If you look closely when you talk with Shaun, you can see the Animus map of [[Venice]] and of [[Florence]].
* The interior design of the main area in the hideout is similar to that of the [[Ubisoft]] Montreal office; it is not known if this similarity is intentional.
* There is a glitch that occurs if the player turns off the game after completing DNA Sequence 11 (during the cutscene when Desmond comes out of the Animus 2.0 then immediately asks to go back in for the next DNA Sequence). The player will be in the warehouse section of the hideout, but Lucy, Rebecca and Shaun will be nowhere, and you cannot re-enter the Animus. There is also a missing wall down in the warehouse section that you can jump through, but it will lead you to a pool of water with no way back up and nowhere to go. This glitch has been fixed in an update.
* In PlayStation Home, you are allowed to roam free around the main room of the hideout once you find all the glyphs in the [[Abstergo laboratory]].
* After the dream you play as Altaïr, if you climb over the warehouse, you can see that the security is red, as if it was never activated.
