| ==Known Subjects==
| |
| === Subject 4===
| |
| In Subject 16's truth cluster 8, Subject 4 was mentioned in a letter dating back to September, 1985. meaning that animus experiments are much older than previously believed. In the letter, an unknown person going by W.V. (probaly [[Warren Vidic]]) reported making a prototype [[Piece of Eden]] replica and would use it on Subject 4 between his/her animus sessions.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

| === Subject 12===
| |
| Subject 12 was the direct descendant of an individual involved in (or subjected to) the Philadelphia Experiment; an event wherein the [[wikipedia:USS Eldridge (DE-173)#Philadelphia Experiment|USS Eldridge]] manifested itself in a future state for approximately eighteen minutes.<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

| ===Subject 15===
| |
| Subject 15 was mentioned by [[Lucy Stillman]] to be female and pregnant. She suffered through the bleeding effect by seeing memories of her ancestors and other people from different time periods. She also experienced "memory-within-memory" patterns, due to being pregnant and the memories of the fetus's father conflicted with Subject 15's own ancestors' memories. After Lucy discovered some adverse effects of the Animus on the subject she e-mailed [[Warren Vidic]] warning him of said effects. Warren told Lucy that the experiments on Subject 15 would stop, and then sent a disposal unit and had [[James Morse]] file an accident report.<ref>http://abstergoindustries.com/portal/</ref>

| |
| Subject Sixteen was, as his moniker suggests, the sixteenth individual to undergo Abstergo's experiments. 16 was the first subject to noticeably suffer from the [[bleeding effect]], although this was not picked up on until after his death. As a result of the "[[Bleeding effect]]", Subject 16 went mad and wrote the [[cryptic messages]] throughout the [[Abstergo laboratory]] and his sleeping quarters, with his own blood.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />
| |
| | |
| Like his successor, Subject 16 was a direct descendant of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref> During his time at Abstergo Industries, 16 managed to hack into the Animus and placed several hidden [[rifts]] throughout the Animus' projection of Ezio's genetic memories; these puzzles were later happened upon by Subject 17, who upon solving them was granted access to one of 16's own memories.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />

| Brought to Abstergo against his will, he was threatened with a coma and death if he did not participate in the [[Warren Vidic]]'s experiments. Giving in to the threat, he entered the Animus and was forced to relive the memories of his ancestor: [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], in order to find the location of a number of [[Pieces of Eden]]. Like Subject 16 before him, Desmond quickly begun to experience the bleeding effect.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" /> Although at first he only suffered from relatively minor changes, after his escape from Abstergo Industries, Desmond willingly choose to relive the memories of another ancestor – Ezio Auditore da Firenze – in order to exploit the bleeding effect and learn the skills necessary to become a true [[Assassins|assassin]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />
