	'''~~The~~ Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center''', commonly referred to as the '''Abstergo Foundation''' or simply '''Abstergo Madrid''', was a subsidiary of [[Abstergo Industries]], founded in the 1980s in [[Madrid]], [[Spain]], by [[Alan Rikkin]].

	Around 2011, Abstergo located a criminal named [[Moussa]] in Atlanta, who was a descendant of the [[Saint-Domingue Brotherhood of Assassins\|Haitian Assassin]] [[Baptiste]]. He was taken to the Madrid facility, where he was forced to relive his ancestor's memories for research purposes. Initially compliant, Moussa's cooperation caused suspicion among other inmates. Over time, however, he came to distrust Abstergo's motives and aligned himself with fellow Assassin descendants [[Nathan]], [[Lin]], and [[Emir]]. Eventually, he gained their trust and became an informal leader among the captives.<ref name="~~FilmNovelization~~">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Official Movie Novelization]]''</ref>		Around 2011, Abstergo located a criminal named [[Moussa]] in Atlanta, who was a descendant of the [[Saint-Domingue Brotherhood of Assassins\|Haitian Assassin]] [[Baptiste]].

	Under Alan Rikkin's supervision, the facility also conducted research to improve the Animus technology. However, unlike his daughter, Rikkin was not an expert on the machine, and by 2014, Sofia was placed in charge of the ~~Abstergo Foundation~~ Rehabilitation Center. She focused on studying the roots of violence and attempting to develop a cure through the use of the Animus, a project that Rikkin allowed her to pursue.<ref name="ACfilm" />		Under Alan Rikkin's supervision, the facility also conducted research to improve the Animus technology.

	In February 2014, Sofia contacted [[Layla Hassan]] for advice on improving the Animus 4.3 schematics. Layla suggested incorporating an inverted six-axis motion rig that would allow subjects to move freely while reliving their ancestors' memories. Over the next two years, Layla repeatedly asked Sofia to join her research team in Madrid. On 31 August 2016, she finally sent Layla a message instructing her to cease contact, stating that despite Layla's expertise, her disregard for protocol made her unsuitable for the [[Animus Project]].<ref name="ACO">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Layla Hassan's emails]]</ref>		In February 2014, Sofia contacted [[Layla Hassan]] for advice on improving the Animus 4.3 schematics.

	On October 22, 2016, Sofia Rikkin had personally overseen the abduction of Callum Lynch and brought him safely over to the Madrid facility, from [[Huntsville Department of Criminal Justice\|Texas State Prison]]. Upon waking in the Madrid facility, Lynch was placed in the Animus. After multiple sessions, he began experiencing the [[Bleeding Effect]], granting him the skills of his ancestor. His repeated [[Synchronization\|desynchronization]] frustrated Alan Rikkin, leading him to propose a deal: if Lynch cooperated and stopped resisting the Animus, he would be given the opportunity to kill his father, who was still imprisoned at the facility.

			Abstergo Rehabilitation Foundation The Abstergo Rehabilitation Foundation was established by [[Alan Rikkin]] in the 1980s as part of Abstergo Industries’ efforts to suppress free will through the search for [[Aguilar's Apple of Eden\|Aguilar’s Apple of Eden]]. The facility was built around and upon a 12th-century chapel.<ref>[[YourBloodIsNotYourOwn.com]]</ref> and was later overseen by Dr. [[Sofia Rikkin]], who believed her research was on the verge of a scientific breakthrough. The Foundation housed several convicts, who were forced to use the [[Animus]] to explore their [[Genetic memory\|genetic memories]]. Many of these subjects were descended from [[Assassins]] or had ties to the Brotherhood.<ref name="ACfilm">[[Assassin's Creed (film)\|''Assassin's Creed'' film]]</ref>

			Through the Foundation's work, Abstergo made progress in its pursuit of Aguilar’s Apple of Eden, a long-sought artifact believed to be central to the Templar cause for world domination. Their research led them to trace [[Aguilar de Nerha]]’s bloodline to the Assassin [[Mary Lynch]], who was believed to be the last known descendant of his lineage. In 1986, Alan Rikkin personally led a strike team to capture Mary Lynch in [[Baja California]], [[Mexico]], intending to force her into an Animus at the facility to uncover the Artifact’s location. However, upon their arrival, Lynch had already taken her own life to prevent the Templars from acquiring the information. Her son, [[Callum Lynch]], also evaded capture, though Abstergo managed to detain her husband, [[Joseph Lynch]], who surrendered and was subsequently placed in the Animus.<ref name="ACfilm" />

			===Later Operations===
			Around 2011, Abstergo located a criminal named [[Moussa]] in Atlanta, who was a descendant of the [[Saint-Domingue Brotherhood of Assassins\|Haitian Assassin]] [[Baptiste]]. He was taken to the Madrid facility, where he was forced to relive his ancestor’s memories for research purposes. Initially compliant, Moussa’s cooperation caused suspicion among other inmates. Over time, however, he came to distrust Abstergo’s motives and aligned himself with fellow Assassin descendants [[Nathan]], [[Lin]], and [[Emir]]. Eventually, he gained their trust and became an informal leader among the captives.<ref name="FilmNovelization">[[Assassin's Creed: The Official Movie Novelization]]</ref>

			Under Alan Rikkin’s supervision, the facility also conducted research to improve the Animus technology. However, unlike his daughter Alan Rikkin was not an expert on the machine, and by 2014, Sofia was placed in charge of the Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center. She focused on studying the roots of violence and attempting to develop a cure through the use of the Animus, a project that Rikkin allowed her to pursue.<ref name="ACOModernDay">[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]</ref>

			In February 2014, Sofia contacted [[Layla Hassan]] for advice on improving the Animus 4.3 schematics. Layla suggested incorporating an inverted six-axis motion rig that would allow subjects to move freely while reliving their ancestors’ memories. Over the next two years, Layla repeatedly asked Sofia to join her research team in Madrid. On August 31, 2016, she finally sent Layla a message instructing her to cease contact, stating that despite Layla’s expertise, her disregard for protocol made her unsuitable for the [[Animus Project]].<ref name="ACOModernDay" />

			===Capture of Callum Lynch ===

			On October 22, 2016, Sofia Rikkin had personally overseen the abduction of Callum Lynch and brought him safely over to the Madrid facility, from [[Huntsville Department of Criminal Justice\|Texas State Prison]]. Upon waking in the Madrid facility, Lynch was placed in the Animus. After multiple sessions, he began experiencing the [[Bleeding Effect]], granting him the skills of his ancestor. His repeated [[Synchronization\|desynchronization]] frustrated Alan Rikkin, leading him to propose a deal: if Lynch cooperated and stopped resisting the Animus, he would be given the opportunity to kill his father, who was still imprisoned at the facility. Lynch initially agreed but ultimately refused after learning the truth about his mother’s death, believing his father was not responsible for it and thus it being her own choice.<ref name="ACfilm" />

'''The Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center''', commonly referred to as the '''Abstergo Foundation''' or simply '''Abstergo Madrid''', was a subsidiary of [[Abstergo Industries]], founded in the 1980s in [[Madrid]], [[Spain]], by [[Alan Rikkin]]. Like its parent company, it operated as a front for the [[Templars\|Templar Order]]. In the final years of the facility, Alan Rikkin transferred control to his daughter, [[Sofia Rikkin]], before ultimately deciding to shut it down when it was deemed no longer useful.<ref name="FilmNovelization" />

			The facility was part of the [[Animus Project]] and a subsidiary of the [[Lineage Discovery and Acquisition]] division of Abstergo Industries. Its primary objective was to utilize the [[Animus]] to explore [[Genetic memory\|genetic memories]] in order to develop methods of controlling human free will. This research was conducted in pursuit of the Templars' vision of a "[[New World Order]]" and involved the search for [[Piece of Eden\|Pieces of Eden]], as well as an initiative to find what was described as a "cure for violence."<ref name="FilmNovelization" /> <ref name="BoSJ" />

			Abstergo Rehabilitation Foundation The Abstergo Rehabilitation Foundation was established by [[Alan Rikkin]] in the 1980s as part of Abstergo Industries’ efforts to suppress free will through the search for [[Aguilar's Apple of Eden\|Aguilar’s Apple of Eden]]. The facility was built around and upon a 12th-century chapel.<ref>[[YourBloodIsNotYourOwn.com]]</ref> and was later overseen by Dr. [[Sofia Rikkin]], who believed her research was on the verge of a scientific breakthrough. The Foundation housed several convicts, who were forced to use the [[Animus]] to explore their [[Genetic memory\|genetic memories]]. Many of these subjects were descended from [[Assassins]] or had ties to the Brotherhood.<ref name="ACfilm">[[Assassin's Creed (film)\|''Assassin's Creed'' film]]</ref>

			Through the Foundation's work, Abstergo made progress in its pursuit of Aguilar’s Apple of Eden, a long-sought artifact believed to be central to the Templar cause for world domination. Their research led them to trace [[Aguilar de Nerha]]’s bloodline to the Assassin [[Mary Lynch]], who was believed to be the last known descendant of his lineage. In 1986, Alan Rikkin personally led a strike team to capture Mary Lynch in [[Baja California]], [[Mexico]], intending to force her into an Animus at the facility to uncover the Artifact’s location. However, upon their arrival, Lynch had already taken her own life to prevent the Templars from acquiring the information. Her son, [[Callum Lynch]], also evaded capture, though Abstergo managed to detain her husband, [[Joseph Lynch]], who surrendered and was subsequently placed in the Animus.<ref name="ACfilm" />

			===Later Operations===
			Around 2011, Abstergo located a criminal named [[Moussa]] in Atlanta, who was a descendant of the [[Saint-Domingue Brotherhood of Assassins\|Haitian Assassin]] [[Baptiste]]. He was taken to the Madrid facility, where he was forced to relive his ancestor’s memories for research purposes. Initially compliant, Moussa’s cooperation caused suspicion among other inmates. Over time, however, he came to distrust Abstergo’s motives and aligned himself with fellow Assassin descendants [[Nathan]], [[Lin]], and [[Emir]]. Eventually, he gained their trust and became an informal leader among the captives.<ref name="FilmNovelization">[[Assassin's Creed: The Official Movie Novelization]]</ref>

			Under Alan Rikkin’s supervision, the facility also conducted research to improve the Animus technology. However, unlike his daughter Alan Rikkin was not an expert on the machine, and by 2014, Sofia was placed in charge of the Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center. She focused on studying the roots of violence and attempting to develop a cure through the use of the Animus, a project that Rikkin allowed her to pursue.<ref name="ACOModernDay">[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]</ref>

			In February 2014, Sofia contacted [[Layla Hassan]] for advice on improving the Animus 4.3 schematics. Layla suggested incorporating an inverted six-axis motion rig that would allow subjects to move freely while reliving their ancestors’ memories. Over the next two years, Layla repeatedly asked Sofia to join her research team in Madrid. On August 31, 2016, she finally sent Layla a message instructing her to cease contact, stating that despite Layla’s expertise, her disregard for protocol made her unsuitable for the [[Animus Project]].<ref name="ACOModernDay" />
