'''Olivier Garneau''' is the Chief Creative Officer of [[Abstergo Entertainment]], a subsidiary of [[Abstergo Industries]].<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref> He appeared in an article of the [[Abstergo News Wire]] on 11 October 2013, celebrating Abstergo Entertainment's first anniversary.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]''</ref><br />
<br />
That month, Olivier met a new [[Abstergo Entertainment research analyst|research analyst]] who had just started working with Abstergo, asking which ancestor's memories they were exploring, as part of the [[Sample 17 Project]].<ref name="AC4" /><br />
<br />
A week later, Olivier was contacted by Abstergo Industries administrator [[Laetitia England]] to give a report of their progress in locating the [[Observatory]] through the analyst's work, promising to work harder despite low funding and a lack of solid leads. Some time later, he communicated with project lead [[Melanie Lemay]] about the importance of meeting Laetitia's demands.<ref name="AC4" /><br />
<br />
Some time thereafter, Olivier left for a shareholder's meeting in [[Chicago]], but never arrived. Concurrently, a hacker inside Abstergo Entertainment compromised various computers and security cameras in the facility, prompting a security lockdown. Melanie took charge in Olivier's stead and managed the breach, which she later concluded had been caused by the head of the technology department, an employee named [[John]].<ref name="AC4" /><br />

==Trivia==<br />
*In an internal email sent between administrators at Abstergo Entertainment, Olivier added that he was related to "[[François-Xavier Garneau]], noted Quebecois historian and poet". <br />
*Besides Laetitia England, Olivier was also known to have been in contact with [[Alan Rikkin]] before his disappearance.<br />
*Olivier was confirmed to be the only person at Abstergo Entertainment that was aware of Abstergo Industries being a front for the [[Templars]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/notes/access-the-animus/initiates-qa-with-darby-mcdevitt-part-i/445999618834286 ''Initiates Q&A with Darby McDevitt - Part 1'']</ref><br />
*[[Ubisoft]]'s 2014 video game ''{{Wiki|Watch Dogs}}'' explains Olivier's disappearance in Chicago. In the game, he is knocked down, but not killed by [[w:c:watchdogs:Aiden Pearce|Aiden Pearce]] while driving in Chicago. His [[ctOS]] profile lists him as being wanted by the Brotherhood. The event, however, is not canonical in the ''Assassin's Creed'' universe.<ref>[https://twitter.com/DarbyMcDevitt/status/472105805974872064 twitter.com/DarbyMcdevitt]</ref><br />
