==Battle of Forli in History==
The only battle that has occurred in Forlì was during May 15, 1282 when there was a battle against a powerful French contingent sent by Pope Martin IV. The battle was cited by Dante Alighieri (who was hosted in the city in 1303 by Scarpetta Ordelaffi III).

Several battles occurred within the early and late 1490s, where Caterina Sforza held the title Countess of Forli. The Italian Wars was in its early stages, and Forli stands strategically between the two cities, [[Venice]] and [[Florence]], though Forli is an ally of the latter. Forli fell to the combined might of French armies (as support given by King Louis XII), papal armies and Italian mercenaries, led by Cesare Borgia around the early 1500s.

'''Abstergo Industries''' are the employers of Doctors [[Warren Vidic]] and [[Lucy Stillman]], captors of [[Desmond Miles|Desmond,]] as well as the company which funds the [[Animus]]. Dr. Vidic boasts of their accomplishments in more than just medical and scientific fields, but any huge progressive movement within the world.

Vidic claims that Abstergo is responsible for every scientific accomplishment for the last 1000 years, saying Abstergo chooses who gets credit for the accomplishments very carefully. Later, Desmond figures out that Abstergo is the modern-day embodiment of the [[Knights Templar]]. When Desmond ask who created the technology, Dr. Vidic mysteriously replies with "[[Those Who Have Gone Before]]".

Abstergo is also a Latin verb, meaning "to cleanse".

Abstergo has also been hunting the last of the Assassins left in the world, hoping to end their enemy's way of life, thus eliminating any chance of failure. If the player manages to access Warren Vidic's emails, they can read about the Tunguska meteor incident was in reality, a modern-day Assassin raid on an Abstergo Industries base in Russia. The email also discusses the Philadelphia Incident, in which the USS Eldridge (which was stationed in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard) was allegedly rendered invisible for several seconds, and sent forward in time. Experiments with the artifact related to this incident were halted, with Abstergo citing concern about Paradoxes. Mitchell-Hedge's communicators are also mentioned, an abstract reference to the 13 Mayan Crystal Skulls, supposedly discovered by the gentleman adventurer of the same name in the 1920's. New Age theorists state that the Crystal Skulls enable telepathy between their wielders, and therefore, the term communicators implies that Abstergo a)Has these skulls, and b)Is able to communicate using them. This communication is undetectable by any Modern-day Assassins.

Through the [[e-mails]] we learn that Abstergo is being investigated for something called "New Fluoride", which they tested on an isolated community, were caught, and are currently being investigated for. This is the reason behind the Dec 21/2012 launch of their orbital platform, as afterword they risk being immobilized by having their assets frozen. The 21/12/2012 launch is also significant as it marks the end of the Mayan Long Count, 12th ''baktun'' cycle,(and the date set by many to be the end of the world) which is reference with the 13.0.0.0 in eagle vision, as well as the Arabic word for 'Earthquake' or 'The Earthquake', as well as the Hebrew words for 'Next World' when Desmond investigates the rooms he is in, with his eagle vision.

It is stated by Lucy that they make anti-depressants.
