M.-O. Boudreault is an employee of Abstergo Entertainment, a subsidiary of Abstergo Industries.[1] They are a colleague of the subsidiary's CCO Melanie Lemay and often exchanged correspondences with her.
In July 2014, Melanie sent Boudreault a series of emails concerning the genetic memories from Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore, and Ratonhnhaké:ton taken through the Sample 17 Project and proposed different Abstergo Entertainment products, despite previous market analyses having passed on using them. Boudreault had concerns, but Melanie thought of reframing the memories in different ways, using Altaïr as the first of a series tentatively named "History's Hitmen", removing Ezio altogether and creating a virtual tourism feature set in the Italian Renaissance, and focusing on George Washington rather than Ratonhnhaké:ton.[2]
