"Once the target has been downed, either by Oswald or Z., use PE1 to stage a distraction."
―A member of Abstergo Industries in a message to an associate, 1963.[src]

Lee Harvey Oswald (1939 – 1963) was a Templar sleeper agent,[1] who is known to this day as the assassin of 35th American President John F. Kennedy.

Biography[edit | edit source]

On 22 November 1963, Oswald, acting as the main gunman, was backed by Abraham Zapruder as the second gunman and William Greer as Kennedy's driver, during a secret Templar operation to assassinate the President and obtain his Apple of Eden. Greer, who was supposed to steal the Apple, had been specially trained by Abstergo Industries ahead of the mission using another Apple of Eden;[2] unbeknownst to the Templars, however, Greer was in fact a double agent for the Bloodstone Unit, an extremist Assassin cell that sought the Apple for their own ends.[3]

Oswald and Zapruder were ultimately unable to kill Kennedy as Greer's Bloodstone Unit cohorts hijacked the operation and shot Kennedy before the Templars had the chance to do so. During the resulting confusion, Greer successfully took the Apple and fled the scene while Oswald was left to take the fall for the assassination.[3]

Personality and traits[edit | edit source]

Oswald willingly subjected himself to memory suppression techniques in order to live a falsified life manufactured by Abstergo, and no longer had any knowledge of the company itself or his involvement with them.[1]
