'''Bishop''' is a member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]]. She contacted an [[Helix initiate|individual]] and tasked them to relive the memories of [[Arno Dorian]] in order to find the [[Sages|Sage]] operating during the [[French Revolution]].

==Biography==
In 2014, Bishop contacted a [[Helix]] user, showing them the memories of a [[French Templar (1307)|Templar]] at the service of [[Jacques de Molay]], [[Templars|Templar]] [[Grand Master]], before changing the focus to the memories of Arno Dorian. Once the initiate had completed the first sequence of memories, Bishop revealed herself and offered them a chance to join the Assassins.

Once the initiate accepted, Bishop transmitted footage of [[Abstergo Industries]]' [[Phoenix Project]], explaining that the Templars were searching for Sages both in the present and the past to map the Precursor genome. Arno Dorian encountered a Sage some time during his lifetime and Bishop wanted to find that Sage's remains before the Templars did.

To accomplish this, Bishop supervised the initiate's Helix sessions, keeping Abstergo from finding out what they were doing, as well as decrypting Abstergo's confidential data during the initiate's forays into Helix rifts.

The initiate's research determined that Arno had buried [[François-Thomas Germain]]'s remains in the catacombs beneath Paris, leaving Bishop pleased with the results. She informed the initiate that Abstergo would determine the bones were too degraded for DNA extraction. She requested that the initiate continue researching Arno's memories and gather information that could help the Assassins.

As the initiate researched another sequence of memories, Bishop detected a glitch in the system that locked them out of the Helix data. She managed to stabilize the connection so the initiate could find out more. Ultimately, the initiate discovered that Arno found an [[Apple of Eden]] underneath Saint-Denis.

==Trivia==
*In the credits of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'', she is referred to as "The Enabler".
* Bishop sometimes mentions during some online Heist missions that herself and [[Rebecca Crane]] had worked on the current mission together, where Rebecca is during the modern day events of ''Assassin's Creed: Unity ''is unknown.

The '''Abstergo Entertainment research analyst''', known amongst their fellow researchers as '''"Noob"''' due to their recent arrival, and referred to as '''"Cipher"''' by [[Juno]], is an employee of [[Abstergo Entertainment]] assigned to the [[Sample 17 Project]]. They were tasked with reliving the memories of the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]], in order to gain footage for a product that would feature him. On their first day of work, they started a [[Abstergo Entertainment research analyst's diary|diary]] detailing their experience at the company.

Not long after their induction, the employee was enlisted by IT head [[John Standish]] to hack computers, [[Animus|Animi]], security cameras, and servers around Abstergo Entertainment's [[Montreal]] facility in order to obtain information on Abstergo's actions for the [[Assassins]], though the employee was not originally aware of this. The employee was also charged with passing on this information to [[Rebecca Crane]] and [[Shaun Hastings]], who routinely collected it at Shaun's coffee stand in the building's lobby. While the employee first believed these activities to be innocuous, they soon became suspicious of John, regarding him as "mentally ill".

Eventually, the hacking activity was discovered at the same time that the company's Chief Creative Officer, [[Olivier Garneau]], went missing. In response, Olivier's stand-in, [[Melanie Lemay]], reluctantly imprisoned the analyst and several other employees in bunkers in the basement, where they would continue their work until the hacker could be identified.

Subsequently, John raised the employee's security clearance so that they could leave their bunker, and instructed them to hack the main server in order to cover their tracks. Unbeknownst to the employee, following John's instructions activated a program designed to transfer Juno's consciousness into another body; unfortunately for John, Juno was not yet strong enough to maintain a physical form, and this aspect of the plan failed.

John then entered the employee's bunker while they were using the Animus and revealed himself to be a [[Sages|Sage]], a reincarnation of [[Aita]]. He attempted to poison the employee, weakening them enough that their body could host Juno. However, he was shortly caught and killed by Abstergo's security [[guards]].

The employee later woke in Melanie's office, where she apologized for imprisoning them. She claimed that while she originally believed them to be the hacker, information recovered from John's computer proved that he was responsible. After Melanie revealed the completed trailer for ''[[Devils of the Caribbean]]'' as a token of good will, the analyst was allowed to return to work.

While the analyst headed back to their Animus, Shaun and Rebecca contacted them, apologized for getting them into such a mess with John, and offered to recompense the employee if they continued to obtain information on Abstergo Entertainment. The analyst considered their offer, given that having level three security clearance made it unlikely they would be discovered again.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*As stated by developers, the research analyst is meant to be the embodiment of the player themselves in the ''Assassin's Creed'' universe, and thus their identity is left ambiguous.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/03/04/the-dawn-of-assassins-creed-iv-black-flag IGN - ''The Dawn of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag'']</ref>
*According to Melanie Lemay in regards to the memories of Arno Dorian, Abstergo had trouble finding the researchers with required potential, in order to extensively explore the genetic memories of individuals with a high count of First Civilization DNA.
** She mentions that there was a worker at Abstergo Entertainment who showed great skill at exploring these memories, but that the worker soon quit, suggesting that the Abstergo researcher had quit their job sometime after the events with John, explaining the [[Helix research analyst|new employee]] using the former employee's work station a year later.
