==Welcome==
Hi, welcome to Assassin's Creed Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad page.

Please leave a message on [[User talk:Sannse|my talk page]] if I can help with anything! -- [[User:Sannse|Sannse]] ([[User_talk:Sannse|Talk]]) 13:12, 22 December 2009

:Jasca, I'm giving you rollback rights. Maybe it help on your source project, and other things. Make good use of them. -- [[User:D. Cello|D. Cello]] 03:56, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

::Hey dude, would you mind telling me what OR means? -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] 13:46, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

==DLC vs. novel==
Well, in the novel, it's said that Claudia resigned from the Rosa in Fiore some time in either 1504 or 1505. Yet in the DLC, she's still there and refers to the courtesans as "my girls". And, Ezio's looking to charter a ship to Navarre, while in the novel, he goes to Valencia first. I think that's pretty contradicting. -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] 19:25, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
:Navarre is a region in Spain, Valencia is a coastal city. So Ezio would have go travel via Valencia go reach Navarre. As for the Claudia point however, you're probably correct. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 19:40, March 10, 2011 (UTC)

== Paintings ==

Hey Ducato, here's the paintings you requested! I even included the targets' paintings. The filename is named after the correct title of the painting, so you know which painting is which. (With the exception of the targets' ones, which are simply named after the targets). Out of all these I'm missing four. I've checked everywhere and can't find the last ones. I'll keep checking, though!

== Your opinion ==

Jasca, I want your opinion on the new template images I made. Check out the usual place, and please post your opinion there. Thanks :D --[[User:War Clown|'''Juan Blanco''']][[User talk:War Clown|'''Reception Area''']] 04:01, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

== About offline mode ==

Thanks for reading my post

Perhaps you're right but what about Da Vinci DLC it is not such thing!

Explain what? Did I make a mistake on an article or something? If I did, I apologize I will try to do better in the future, this is my first Wiki so I'm new to this whole editing and article thing.

I took out that last line because I assumed it was already implied. None of the other messages like the ones for article stubs, ones in need of revamps etc. did not have that last line. I don't see why it's such a big deal that you felt compelled to message me about it.

==Warning==
The user Il Lupo completely erased all of my editing on the page ''[[If At First You Don't Succeed...]] ''then said his reasoning for it was because I had "awful grammar, but nice try". My grammar was better than his current version, and he blatantly destroyed all of my work and replaced it with his own lackluster work. He purposefully and knowingly instigated a situation.

Just explaining you the truth in the hopes you understand. If you don't believe me feel free to check my version of editing, then his.

-Altzio

:First off, sign your posts with four ~'s, kid. Secondly, I reviewed both your version and Lupo's and I have to tell you that what I saw was a better revision over your quality. Stop trying to piss off the Staff just because you got put in your place by a Staff Trainee. It will get you thrown out of here quicker than you can blink. Don't get me wrong, I know why you brought this matter to Jasca and personally, I don't care. Nearly all of your contributions so far have been reverted and removed because of ''your'' "lackluster" work. Now, usually I'm the nice guy of the Staff around here, but I don't take it kindly when you try to push people into your own mess. -- [[User:Assassin-Rayne|'''Rayne''']] [[User_Talk:Assassin-Rayne|Message]] 03:48, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
::As Rayne said, your edit was terrrible. I would have reverted it had Il Lupo not done it first. He instigated nothing, you created the situation by swearing at hime on your talk page and subsequently got your one and only warning for it. Also, unlike Rayne, I'm ''not'' known as the nice guy of the Staff, so coming and complaining to me isn't gonna do much... --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 12:32, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

== Ascendance eraicon ==

Hey Jasca, I've seen several articles about Ascendance being created or increased, but there is no eraicon for them, it seems like something is missing. So since you posted the other icons, I was wondering if you could do this too.

==Reward==

For you hard work on the [[Cesare Borgia]] article you have been awarded for your efforts.

<nowiki>{{UserFA|Cesare Borgia}}</nowiki>- '''Remove code once action is complete.'''

Enjoy. [[User:AssassinRome|'''Assassino de Roma''']] 17:02, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

== Abstergo's logo ==

Fine, I won't put it again, (but if it is a mistake, you have to admit the logos resemble a lot). I'll erase the trivia in the vault page that says the logo is on the walls.

[[User:AlexArkham|AlexArkham]] 22:29, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

I am terribly sorry for posting that, I apologise and hope for forgiveness.
I had good intentions but okay....

== Staff meeting ==

Hey Jasca. 
Cello's been talking with Sima and Rayne on Skype, and they're thinking about a staff meeting over there, tomorrow - i.e, Saturday 11th June. The trial run is at 2200 hours, UTC. Talk to Cello on the IRC for more details about the whole Skype thing. :) [[User:Elchzard|'''Elchzard''']] [[User Talk:Elchzard|(Talking is fun.)]] 17:12, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

== Adding a new page ==

Hi Jasca Ducato, I was just wondering if it is worth adding a page for a new character that I know will be appearing in AC: R (I have this information from GameInformer). The problem is that there is not a lot of information in terms of AC: R but there is a lot of information history-wise from wikipedia and other sources about this characters role in Constantinople in that time period. Anyways, I just wanted to ask before I did anything because I don't want to cause the editors and admins any more work. Also, if you would like the source and details so you can add the page yourself then please let me know, otherwise with your permission I would like to add the page. [[User:Kaloneous|Kaloneous]] 02:24, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I see this character is adequately covered (since the information at the moment is limited) in a page of his son on this wiki. Sorry to have bothered you about this. [[User:Kaloneous|Kaloneous]] 02:27, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

== Native names ==

We need to something about these names, JD. Cause the Italian characters do not have names added in their language. We either remove every characters names or add to every characters, or keep the naming only to main characters. What do you think? --[[User_Talk:Vatsa1708|''Vatsa'']][[w::c:prototype|'''Gentek''']] 15:12, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
:Remove them. The only character who should have the name in his native language is Altair, and only because we have a source for it. Namely, the ''Revelations'' facebook teaser from a while back. All other names are speculation. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 19:08, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

==Apology==
Jasca,

I would like to truly apologize for all of my immature and harmful comments toward you on the Wikia while on the account Altzio. I came to you with a stupid complaint about Lupo when really she just reverted the article and saved the Wikia from my previous styles of horrible writing.I am also sorry for personally insulting you and instigating an issue when Lupo just edited my awful work to help the Wikia.

I promise that the immature language and behavior I exhibited on the account Altzio will never happen again.

Thank you,

[[User:Nostalgia AC|Nostalgia AC]] 16:21, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

==Assassins Guild==
Jasca, we don't know if there's one in St. Petersburg. The Fall doesn't explicitly state there to be one, and I'm not even sure if there were any guilds at the time. That said, St. Petersburg doesn't appear in the comics at all. -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] 01:04, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
:Firstly, the [[Narodnaya Volya]] cannot be considered anything but a guild. As for St. Petersburg, the city appears in the first and last comics. In the first scene with Nikolai and his partner, we can see the [[wikipedia:Admiralty building, Saint Petersburg|Admiralty building]] in the background. In the last comic, Nikolai is watching the revolutionists in [[wikipedia:Palace Square|Palace Square]]. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 12:10, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

== Uploading Pictures ==

Master Sima Yi told me you're the person to ask about uploading pictures. Please reply if you think you can help me out [[User:JumpInTheFire13|JumpInTheFire13]] 20:42, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

== You are... in error. ==
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/realizing

Guess what? I have books that disagree with you saying 'Realizing' is spelt 'Realising'... They are called DICTIONARIES. Look at that website, search for your wrongfully spelt 'Realising' you won't find it. If you're paranoid and think I constructed that site just to screw with you then go to a library and look at a physical dictionary, and look it up. It is spelled REALIZING.

There, you've just learned a small piece of good grammar.

[[User:Foreborn|Foreborn]] 03:44, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

To my surprise they are both correct, one American spelling and the other British. I've checked that word several times in official sources and with an 'S' it's always been called incorrect. I assumed they'd list all spellings but it appears not. You'd think they would, despite being American products, for completion if for no other reason. I had no idea until today the British spelt it differently.

No-one else here is American? I wouldn't make that statement. Spelling words with 'S' being correct, well, they are both correct, just variations. I really don't think this warrants any further discussion. What say we let bygones be bygones? Life's too short.

[[User:Foreborn|Foreborn]] 17:26, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

As a last note, I really do apologize for my first, rather rude statement to you. I was venting, real life frusterations y'know. Sorry about that, truly.

By the way, I noticed the creation of two articles, Ezio's Son and Ezio's Daughter. I think I remember hearing official information about Ezio having a family, but I don't think his children's genders were distinguished, or the number of siblings.

[[User:Foreborn|Foreborn]] 03:08, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

== Image Policy Question ==

Hi Jasca Ducato, I am sorry to bother you with such a trivial question but I want to upload some images for ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' and ''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' but the images in question are taken from a website that states that ''"Artwork copyright Ubisoft. No portion of this Artwork may be reproduced without expressed permission." ''on the author's website (an artist at Ubisoft). My question is that does this mean that I cannot upload these images and if not then would a link to the website be appropriate in its stead? I would also like to point out that if this is the case (that I can't upload these images) that some of this artist's work is already on display on the wiki. I would appreciate you thoughts on this and thank you for taking the time to respond to my query. ''[[User:Kaloneous|Kaloneous]] 03:30, July 27, 2011 (UTC)''
:Can you post a link? As the policy actually says, Ubisoft release their material under a sort of 'trust' clause. This means you can automatically, and without needing express permission, use images from their publications so long as the image meets a set of requirements (all of which are described in the policy). This gentleman admits the images' copyright belongs to Ubisoft, so all you are required to do is attribute Ubisoft and the artist in question, assuming he actually had a hand in their production. --'''''[[User:Jasca Ducato|Jasca Ducato]]''''' [[User talk:Jasca Ducato|Council Chamber]] [[Special:Contributions/Jasca_Ducato|Assassination record]] 13:56, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
:
:Hi Jasca Ducato, thank you for your swift response and I am sorry for the delay in responding. I have looked over the wiki policy and the authors policy and I feel that it wouldn't be appropriate to post these images as they are his concept work which has not been released to the media and relate to AC: R in some instances but here are some unbelievable images on his site though. Anyways, I have been looking over his released work so I may have found an alternative so on his wiki page I am going to add his new website that contains the newly released material for anyone who is interested in it to view (on his website). Again, thank you for all your help and for creating such a complete policy for the wiki. [[User:Kaloneous|Kaloneous]] 03:21, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

'''Warren Vidic''' was a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]] and a scientist employed by [[Abstergo Industries]]. He was also the head of research for the [[genetic memory]] and the [[Animus project]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life===
Little is known about Warren's life. Vidic had been working for Abstergo since at least 1982. He was not a typically happy man, and was driven by his constant work. Warren led the Animus project, but left the assembly and engineering of the Animi up to his co-worker on the Animus project, [[Lucy Stillman]], and the Abstergo engineers.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

===Subject 4===
[[File:Abstergo doctor-The Fall1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vidic operating on Subject 4 in 1985.]]
Around 1985, Vidic started to experiment on [[Subject]] 4, a young boy who would later be given the alias "[[Daniel Cross]]". Vidic put Cross in the Animus to relive the memories of his ancestor, though he also experimented on Cross with a replica "[[Piece of Eden]]". Cross also had a secret impulse embedded into his subconscious that would drive him to assassinate [[The Mentor (2000)|the Mentor]] of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], should the opportunity to do so arise. In 2000, Cross met with the Mentor of the Assassin Order in their headquarters located in [[Dubai]], where he unwillingly killed the Mentor. He returned to Abstergo Industries' headquarters in Philadelphia, where Cross' own memories were used to find all the Assassin camps and exterminate the Assassins.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''</ref>

===Subject 15===
Vidic and [[Lucy Stillman]] both worked on [[Subject 15]], who was a pregnant woman. They had difficulties with the animus because it was trying to read the fetus' fathers genetic memories as well as Subject 15’s memories.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

===Subject 16===
Vidic grew tired of the slow progression of synchronization to access further memories, so despite Lucy's warnings, he put Subject 16 in the Animus for days on end in search of answers until he started suffering from the bleeding effect. Subject 16 suffered from constant mingling of lives of his ancestors to the point of insanity, where he aledgely committed suicide.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

===Subject 17===
In the year 2012, Warren Vidic held the position of head of genetic research at Abstergo Industries; part of his role included looking after test subjects for his Animus project. That year, he authorized the capture of the seventeenth test subject; a bartender named [[Desmond Miles]]. At first, Vidic found the new test subject both unwilling and, subconsciously, not confident enough to explore his ancestor's memories. Vidic only managed to gain his cooperation after threatening a coma and an inevitable death.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

Despite Desmond's cooperation, however, progress was slow. Vidic's assistant, [[Lucy Stillman]], was overly protective of Desmond's health because of what happened to Subject 16, and insisted on only short sessions within the Animus, lest their latest test subject begin to [[Bleeding effect|hallucinate]] as the previous subject did. Disheartened but compliant, Vidic ordered Desmond to his quarters and left the [[Abstergo laboratory|laboratory]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

[[File:AssassinsCreed_Vidic_Animus.png|thumb|left|260px|Vidic talking to Desmond.]]
As the week went on, and Desmond made progress within the Animus, Vidic's mood swung between calm and collected to irritable and short-tempered. During one such day, whilst looking out over the skyline outside his laboratory, Vidic unknowingly left his access pen in plain sight; Desmond managed to acquire it without Vidic becoming aware. Towards the end of the week, as Desmond began to approach the conclusion of his journey within the memories, Vidic started to become much more insistent on a quick closure.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>
[[File:WVACR.png|thumb|Warren Vidic in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.]]

After witnessing the death of [[Al Mualim]] and activation of the [[Sixth Apple|Piece of Eden]] in Desmond's genetic memories, Vidic recorded the map displayed within the memory, commenting "We've got it". As Desmond awoke, he saw three suited individuals in the laboratory's conference room. The three begun discussing with Vidic the results, and insisted upon Desmond's execution; Vidic agreed, but was cut short by Lucy, who insisted that Desmond's use had not yet ended. The two argued to the point of Vidic claiming that Lucy was undermining his authority, and Vidic stubbornly agreed in Lucy's assessment to let Desmond live; to "leave nothing to chance". Ordering Desmond back into his room, Vidic left the laboratory.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

===Abstergo escape===
{{Quote|We miss you terribly. There's still so much work for us to do together.|Dr. Warren Vidic to Desmond, during his attempt to capture him|Assassin's Creed II}}
The next day, Vidic received word of Desmond's escape, and the direct assistance Lucy had given him in executing it. Abstergo quickly set about tracking down the [[Assassins]], and within three days had found the two in a warehouse and attempted to recapture them.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

Locating the [[hideout|Hideout]], Vidic took a contingent of Abstergo security guards to apprehend Desmond and Lucy, arriving just as Desmond finished exploring the memories of another of his ancestors – [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]. Cutting off the Assassins' escape, Vidic attempted to coerce Desmond into coming peacefully whilst berating Lucy for her apparent betrayal. The two rejected him, and so Vidic ordered his guards to apprehend them. Minutes later, following the death or incapacitation of his entourage, Vidic was confronted by Desmond at the rear of his vehicle. Desmond challenged Warren to step down from the vehicle and to stop his cowardice, but Vidic replied by commenting that the Assassins should enjoy their temporary victory, and fled, leaving the Assassins to find a new hideout.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

After that, Vidic went on to initiate and train a team of Abstergo's loyal agents into more "subjects" like Desmond, through the use of several Animi, and the [[bleeding effect]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Warren V.png|thumb|180px|right|Warren Vidic.]]
Dr. Warren Vidic was a hardened scientist and fanatical member of the Knights Templar during the early 21st Century. Although an intelligent man, Vidic was somewhat forgetful, and would often need reminding of pass-codes and the likes; he also tended to leave his access key on display, and had on more than one occasion lost it outright.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

An atheist, Vidic believed wholeheartedly in the nonexistence of God, suggesting that many religious artifacts such as the Holy Grail, the [[Ark of the Covenant]] and the [[Sixth Apple|Apple of Eden]] were simply [[Pieces of Eden|technology]] left behind by [[Those Who Came Before]] as gifts to the Templars; a belief which he thought to be fact. Ruthless, yet clumsy, Vidic had a short temper and showed little care for the welfare of his test subjects.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

On at least one occasion, as in the case of [[Subject 16]], Vidic's insistence that his test subject remained in the Animus for dangerously long periods of time, sometimes even whole days, led to the subject's suicide.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/> Despite this, Vidic was unfazed, merely requesting another test subject.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/> This seventeenth test subject – Desmond Miles – eventually succeeded where his predecessors had failed, and obtained the map indicating the location of the Pieces of Eden. This success, however, did little to ingratiate him in the eyes of Dr. Vidic, who agreed with the assessment of his superiors that Desmond should be executed. His mind only changed after being convinced by his assistant, [[Lucy Stillman]], that Desmond could still be of further use.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

Warren's relationship with Lucy was frosty at best. Despite saving her life and taking her under his wing, Warren seemed to barely tolerate her presence, and found her insistence on prolonging the project irritating. Despite this however, he did care for Lucy, and would withhold information from her that he knew would force his hand had she known; such as the circumstances surrounding the death of her friend [[Leila Marino]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/> Following her and Desmond's escape, Vidic located and intercepted the two assassins as they attempted to flee their hideout; he commented on her treachery and how she had helped him cause pain and misery to his test subjects.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

==Trivia==
[[File:Warren_vidic_1985.JPG|thumb|right|180px|Warren Vidic's I.D.]]
*His first name means "Guarded" or "Of la Varenne" (La Varenne is a suburb of Paris) in Old English.
*Vidic is a common Serbian surname (Serbian latinic: Vidić, pronounced: ˈʋiditɕ) and roughly translates to "the one who sees" or "of those who see".
*Desmond taking Warren's access pen is (so far) the only example of pickpocketing shown in modern times. Whether this is a manifestation of the Bleeding effect, or Desmond is simply skilled at picking someone's pocket is unknown.
*In the ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' multiplayer, Vidic features in the introductory video, and as the narrator for the training program.
*A letter within the [[Rifts|Rift]] Cluster discussing the partial reproduction of the Pieces of Eden's mind control signal over a television network puzzles is signed with the initials W.V.
*He is voiced by [[Phil Proctor]], who the character is also imaged after as well
*He bears a strong resemblance to [[Al Mualim]] and [[Rodrigo Borgia]] the main antagonists from [[Assassin's Creed]] and [[Assassin's Creed ll]] respectively.

He returned to Abstergo Industries' headquarters in Philadelphia, where Cross' own memories were used to find all the Assassin camps and exterminate the Assassins.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''</ref>

===Subject 15===
Vidic and [[Lucy Stillman]] both worked on [[Subject 15]], who was a pregnant woman. They had difficulties with the animus because it was trying to read the fetus' fathers genetic memories as well as Subject 15’s memories.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

===Subject 16===
Vidic grew tired of the slow progression of synchronization to access further memories, so despite Lucy's warnings, he put Subject 16 in the Animus for days on end in search of answers until he started suffering from the bleeding effect. Subject 16 suffered from constant mingling of lives of his ancestors to the point of insanity, where he aledgely committed suicide.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

===Subject 17===
In the year 2012, Warren Vidic held the position of head of genetic research at Abstergo Industries; part of his role included looking after test subjects for his Animus project. That year, he authorized the capture of the seventeenth test subject; a bartender named [[Desmond Miles]]. At first, Vidic found the new test subject both unwilling and, subconsciously, not confident enough to explore his ancestor's memories. Vidic only managed to gain his cooperation after threatening a coma and an inevitable death.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

Despite Desmond's cooperation, however, progress was slow. Vidic's assistant, [[Lucy Stillman]], was overly protective of Desmond's health because of what happened to Subject 16, and insisted on only short sessions within the Animus, lest their latest test subject begin to [[Bleeding effect|hallucinate]] as the previous subject did. Disheartened but compliant, Vidic ordered Desmond to his quarters and left the [[Abstergo laboratory|laboratory]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

[[File:AssassinsCreed_Vidic_Animus.png|thumb|left|260px|Vidic talking to Desmond.]]
As the week went on, and Desmond made progress within the Animus, Vidic's mood swung between calm and collected to irritable and short-tempered. During one such day, whilst looking out over the skyline outside his laboratory, Vidic unknowingly left his access pen in plain sight; Desmond managed to acquire it without Vidic becoming aware. Towards the end of the week, as Desmond began to approach the conclusion of his journey within the memories, Vidic started to become much more insistent on a quick closure.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>
[[File:WVACR.png|thumb|Warren Vidic in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.]]

After witnessing the death of [[Al Mualim]] and activation of the [[Sixth Apple|Piece of Eden]] in Desmond's genetic memories, Vidic recorded the map displayed within the memory, commenting "We've got it". As Desmond awoke, he saw three suited individuals in the laboratory's conference room. The three begun discussing with Vidic the results, and insisted upon Desmond's execution; Vidic agreed, but was cut short by Lucy, who insisted that Desmond's use had not yet ended. The two argued to the point of Vidic claiming that Lucy was undermining his authority, and Vidic stubbornly agreed in Lucy's assessment to let Desmond live; to "leave nothing to chance". Ordering Desmond back into his room, Vidic left the laboratory.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

===Abstergo escape===
{{Quote|We miss you terribly. There's still so much work for us to do together.|Dr. Warren Vidic to Desmond, during his attempt to capture him|Assassin's Creed II}}
The next day, Vidic received word of Desmond's escape, and the direct assistance Lucy had given him in executing it. Abstergo quickly set about tracking down the [[Assassins]], and within three days had found the two in a warehouse and attempted to recapture them.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

Locating the [[hideout|Hideout]], Vidic took a contingent of Abstergo security guards to apprehend Desmond and Lucy, arriving just as Desmond finished exploring the memories of another of his ancestors – [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]. Cutting off the Assassins' escape, Vidic attempted to coerce Desmond into coming peacefully whilst berating Lucy for her apparent betrayal. The two rejected him, and so Vidic ordered his guards to apprehend them. Minutes later, following the death or incapacitation of his entourage, Vidic was confronted by Desmond at the rear of his vehicle. Desmond challenged Warren to step down from the vehicle and to stop his cowardice, but Vidic replied by commenting that the Assassins should enjoy their temporary victory, and fled, leaving the Assassins to find a new hideout.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

After that, Vidic went on to initiate and train a team of Abstergo's loyal agents into more "subjects" like Desmond, through the use of several Animi, and the [[bleeding effect]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Warren V.png|thumb|180px|right|Warren Vidic.]]
Dr. Warren Vidic was a hardened scientist and fanatical member of the Knights Templar during the early 21st Century. Although an intelligent man, Vidic was somewhat forgetful, and would often need reminding of pass-codes and the likes; he also tended to leave his access key on display, and had on more than one occasion lost it outright.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

An atheist, Vidic believed wholeheartedly in the nonexistence of God, suggesting that many religious artifacts such as the Holy Grail, the [[Ark of the Covenant]] and the [[Sixth Apple|Apple of Eden]] were simply [[Pieces of Eden|technology]] left behind by [[Those Who Came Before]] as gifts to the Templars; a belief which he thought to be fact. Ruthless, yet clumsy, Vidic had a short temper and showed little care for the welfare of his test subjects.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

On at least one occasion, as in the case of [[Subject 16]], Vidic's insistence that his test subject remained in the Animus for dangerously long periods of time, sometimes even whole days, led to the subject's suicide.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/> Despite this, Vidic was unfazed, merely requesting another test subject.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/> This seventeenth test subject – Desmond Miles – eventually succeeded where his predecessors had failed, and obtained the map indicating the location of the Pieces of Eden. This success, however, did little to ingratiate him in the eyes of Dr. Vidic, who agreed with the assessment of his superiors that Desmond should be executed. His mind only changed after being convinced by his assistant, [[Lucy Stillman]], that Desmond could still be of further use.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

Warren's relationship with Lucy was frosty at best. Despite saving her life and taking her under his wing, Warren seemed to barely tolerate her presence, and found her insistence on prolonging the project irritating. Despite this however, he did care for Lucy, and would withhold information from her that he knew would force his hand had she known; such as the circumstances surrounding the death of her friend [[Leila Marino]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/> Following her and Desmond's escape, Vidic located and intercepted the two assassins as they attempted to flee their hideout; he commented on her treachery and how she had helped him cause pain and misery to his test subjects.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

'''Warren Vidic''' was a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]] and a scientist employed by [[Abstergo Industries]]. He was also the head of research for the [[genetic memory]] and the [[Animus project]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life===
Little is known about Warren's life. Vidic had been working for Abstergo since at least 1982. He was not a typically happy man, and was driven by his constant work. Warren led the Animus project, but left the assembly and engineering of the Animi up to his co-worker on the Animus project, [[Lucy Stillman]], and the Abstergo engineers.<ref name="Assassin's Creed"/>

===Subject 4===
[[File:Abstergo doctor-The Fall1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vidic operating on Subject 4 in 1985.]]
Around 1985, Vidic started to experiment on [[Subject]] 4, a young boy who would later be given the alias "[[Daniel Cross]]". Vidic put Cross in the Animus to relive the memories of his ancestor, though he also experimented on Cross with a replica "[[Piece of Eden]]". Cross also had a secret impulse embedded into his subconscious that would drive him to assassinate [[The Mentor (2000)|the Mentor]] of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], should the opportunity to do so arise. In 2000, Cross met with the Mentor of the Assassin Order in their headquarters located in [[Dubai]], where he unwillingly killed the Mentor. He returned to Abstergo Industries' headquarters in Philadelphia, where Cross' own memories were used to find all the Assassin camps and exterminate the Assassins.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: The Fall">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Fall]]''</ref>
