By age 16, Desmond became tired of living in hiding and aspired to pursue his own dreams. Using the minimal training of Assassin skills he had obtained from his father, Desmond fled from the Assassin compound he had grown up in and managed to travel from [[South Dakota]] to [[New York City]], where he found employment as a bartender in the [[Bad Weather]] nightclub.

	In September 2012, Desmond was kidnapped and incarcerated by [[Abstergo Industries]], the front company of the [[Templars\|Templar Order]], and forced into a machine called the [[Animus]] in their [[Animus Project laboratory\|Roman facility]] to relive the [[Genetic memory\|genetic memories]] of his ancestor, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. It was Abstergo's aim to acquire a map that detailed many "[[Pieces of Eden]]" spread across the Earth, and Desmond reluctantly aided them. After succeeding in his task, he managed to escape from Abstergo with the help of [[Lucy Stillman]], an undercover Assassin, and joined an [[Assassin cell]] in [[Italy]], which consisted of herself, [[Shaun Hastings]], and [[Rebecca Crane]]. Utilizing an upgraded Animus of Rebecca's construction, Desmond relived the memories of Ezio Auditore, in order to improve upon his newly obtained skills.

Utilizing an upgraded Animus of Rebecca's construction, Desmond relived the memories of Ezio Auditore, in order to improve upon his newly obtained skills.

	Eventually, with the knowledge gained from Ezio's memories, Desmond and his fellow Assassins obtained the location of [[Apple of Eden 6\|Ezio's Apple of Eden]], which was hidden in a [[Colosseum Vault\|vault]] underneath the [[Colosseum]]. Though successful in obtaining the artifact, Desmond's body was taken over by [[Juno]], a member of the [[Isu]], and was made to stab Lucy after Juno revealed her to be a traitor.

	After finding the key, Desmond opened the sanctum but discovered he had been misled.

	Unbeknownst to his fellow Assassins, a fragment of Desmond's consciousness survived his sacrifice, being uploaded to [[the Grey]], a digital space created by the Isu. Losing all memories of his past life, this new incarnation of Desmond became known as '''The Reader''' and took it upon himself to analyze [[calculations]] for the rest of eternity to prevent future cataclysms, which were bound to re-occur.
