'''Subject 16''' was an individual kidnapped by [[Abstergo Industries]] and forced into the [[Animus]] before [[Desmond Miles]]. A descendant of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], he is related to [[Desmond Miles]], as indicated by portions of their DNA matching in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''. It is also revealed that he had an ancestor at the Battle of Gettysburg, in the Roman forum and connected with a Queen Isabella<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>.

==Biography==
===Life at Abstergo===
The individual known only as Subject 16 was captured by the [[Knights Templar|Templar]]-front organization [[Abstergo Industries]] at some point in 2012 for use in the genetic memory recall program<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />. Kept within the [[Abstergo Laboratory]] at all times by [[Warren Vidic]], 16 was kept connected to the [[Animus]] for dangerously long periods, sometimes even days at a time<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />. This led to 16 suffering from a severe condition known as the "[[Bleeding effect|bleeding effect]]"<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />.

Suffering the bleeding effect, 16 began to explore the memories of his ancestors without the use of the Animus <ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />, however his inability to actually control these visions forced Subject 16 into a downward spiral of insanity, eventually culminating in his suicide<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.

Before his death, 16 was forced by Abstergo to explore the memories of an ancestor named [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />, who the Templars knew had located [[the Vault]] during his lifetime<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />; 16 never relived the memories of his ancestor visiting the Vault. Draining his body of its blood to paint several [[cryptic messages]] upon the floor and walls of the [[Abstergo Laboratory]],<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" /> 16 committed suicide to prevent the Templars reaching their goals.

===Legacy===
Following his death, the Templars were left without the location of the [[Vault]], but the knowledge that an ancestor of Ezio’s – [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] – had once held a [[Piece of Eden]]. Knowing this, [[Abstergo]] kidnapped yet another descendant of Ezio and Altaïr, [[Desmond Miles]]. During his incarceration, Desmond spoke often with Dr. Vidic’s assistant [[Lucy Stillman]] about many things, including his predecessor; accessing private e-mails, he learned even more<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />. Later still, following Desmond’s escape from Abstergo and the beginning of his journeys through the memories of Ezio Auditore the [[Assassins#Known assassins|Assassins]] learned that Subject 16 had managed to hack the Abstergo Animus before his death, and placed twenty encrypted files, called [[glyphs]], throughout the memories. These hacks made their way on to Lucy's portable device when she used it on the Abstergo Animus in order to gain details and memory sequences on [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />. Eventually the Glyph hacks were transferred unknowingly onto [[Rebecca Crane]]'s Animus 2.0.

After decrypting all twenty files, the assassins were rewarded with a genetic memory dated "date classified BCE". The video, shows two [[free-running|free-runners]] climbing a large glass structure, Piece of Eden in hand; before referring to one another as [[Adam and Eve]]<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />.

==Trivia==
*In the non-canon [[Assassin’s Creed - French Graphic Novel]], Subject 16 appears alive and is referred to as "Michael".
*Many of the Glyphs have hidden messages in them. All of the decoded ones are stated in the [[Glyphs]] page.
*Subject 16 may be refered to in [[Lucy Stillman]]'s emails concerning Leila Marino by the name [[Neumann]].

Animus Subjects

2010-08-08T06:06:14Z

76.221.83.199: /* Subject 12 */

'''Subjects''' are people who have been selected by [[Abstergo Industries]] for use in their experiments with [[genetic memory]] and the [[Animus]]. There are (or have been) at least seventeen Subjects, of which only 3 are ever mentioned in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''. It is clear Abstergo Industries does not treat subjects well and if no more valuable information can be obtained from a subject's memories, they are sometimes eliminated.

==Known Subjects==
Only subjects 12, 16 and 17 are ever mentioned in the game. Subjects 1 through 15 besides 12, as well as any that may exist after 17, are never shown and never seen.

=== Subject 12===
Subject 12 was the direct descendent of an individual involved in (or subjected to) the Philadelphia Experiment, a popular conspiracy theory where a naval vessel is alleged to have travelled foward in time for 18 minutes. The email claims that the [[Templars]] obtained sufficient information to reconstruct the device responsible, but will not continue with development due to concerns about the creation of irreparable time paradoxes.

===[[Subject 16]]===
{{main|Subject 16}}[[File:300px-Crypticmessages.jpg|thumb|right|Desmond using Eagle Vision to view a message from Subject 16]]
Subject Sixteen was the predecessor to [[Desmond Miles]] in Abstergo's experiments. His name is unknown, but he is at one point referred to as "Neumann". He is never seen in any game.

It is known that, due to the "Bleeding effect", Subject 16 went mad and wrote the [[cryptic messages]] throughout the Animus room and his bedroom, using his own blood (dying afterwards). He may also have, in his madness, murdered [[Leila Marino]] and used her blood to write some of the cryptic messages as it is even stated by Subject 16 himself that if he would have written all of the messages with his own blood, he would have died before he finished.

===Subject 17 ([[Desmond Miles]])===
{{main|Desmond Miles}}
[[File:Desmond2.png|thumb|Subject 17, Desmond Miles]]Desmond Miles is the true protagonist of ''[[Assassin's Creed]], and the successor of Subject 16.''

Brought to Abstergo against his will, he was threatened with a coma and death if he did not participate in the [[Animus]] project. Giving in to the threat, he entered the Animus. He was made to recreate the actions of his ancestor [[Altaïr]], in order to find the location of the [[Piece of Eden]]. Like Subject 16 before him, Desmond experiences the Bleeding effect. However, he only experiences a relatively minor change- the ability to use [[Eagle Vision]] like his ancestor. This is probably due to [[Lucy]] urging him to take breaks from the Animus. In Assassins Creed 2 though he gains all of Ezio's skills. In [[Assassin's Creed]] Abstergo were about to kill him until Lucy suggested that he can still be useful for finding more Pieces of Eden.

===Subject ? ([[Daniel Cross]])===
{{main|Daniel Cross}}
Daniel Cross was a recovering alcoholic and drug user who was brought to Abstergo to relive the memories of his ancestor, [[Nikolai Orelov]]. Not much is known about Daniel at this point.

==[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]==

It has been noticed in the multiplayer walkthrough video that the players in the game are referred to as "Subjects" e.g. "Subject 6 killed Subject 2". This could likely be replaced with player's gamertags when Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood goes live.
