*'''July 3:''' Robert delivered his first report called “Childhood through Imprisonment". Aidan commended him about his thorough work and detailed report as well as other side notes made to highlight the customs of the time period, but also warned about forming a too personal attachment to Arno's life and emotions, reminding him that he was Robert Fraser and not the other way around. As he was venturing deeper into the memories it was becoming difficult for him to keep the two personalities separated, Aidan trying to remedy the problem supplied Robert with information on the Assassin Order tainted by Abstergo Entertainment, hoping to prevent him to empathize with them, hopefully decreasing his attachment to Arno.<ref name=":0" />

*'''July 4-10:''' As the days of investigation progressed, Fraser finished compiling his second report “Imprisonment through apprenticeship” analyzing even more in depth the feelings and ideals of Arno. Aidan finally informed him that he had the Bleeding effect and that he arranged a meeting with [[Victoria Bibeau|Dr. Victoria Bibeau]], to make sure that he was in optimal condidtion between sessions, as the memories he was relieving were full of interesting information on the Assassins and their customs and they needed his full potential to separate Arno's mind from his, so he could continue his investigation. The same afternoon of the meeting with Bibeau, she wrote a report and sent it to Aidan, in which she informed on Fraser's condition, detailing how albeit having passed the bleeding effect with negative results and not showing the classic symptoms, he was clearly having a hard time keeping distances with his project, believing himself to be Arno at some points, as he also thought he underwent Arno's initiation into the brotherhood causing havoc in Fraser's mind highlighting that ever since Robert experienced that specific memory something triggered in him. After Aidan received the psychological evaluation report, he informed Mélanie on the matter, which instructed Aidan to keep an eye on Robert as he was their most valuable asset at the moment that was capable of exploiting information on the era.<ref name=":0" />
===Existing===
*'''July 11:''' After his medical evaluations, Robert took the necessary precautions to keep up his work without getting consumed by the Bleeding Effect and continued his research, finally, handing in the first part of his third report called “Arno: Enemies and Allies” which detailed Arno's pursuit of De La Serre's murderers and the reunion with Élise. Aidan responded once again with positive feedback and congratulated him about his thorough and highly detailed work, but stressing nonetheless, that Robert could speak to Bibeau whenever he wanted to or when he felt overwhelmed. He also mentioned that the fact of Robert being able to sort out what might and might not trigger him, was already a sign of good progress in terms of rehabilitation. Aidan insisted on the task he had at hand, as it was important information he was getting out of Arno's memories, also advising him that he must remember that he was relieving memories of people who were long dead and that he must stay focused, as what he was experiencing through the Animus would be essential to the creation of the unbeatable gameplay Abstergo Entertainment wanted to include in their upcoming historical videogames, stating that it was also good to have Élise back in the crosshairs as Arno and Élise reunited under a partnership in that segment of Arno's memories, mentioning how Abstergo liked to include strong female characters in their games, even more if they were real.<ref name=":0" />

*'''July 12:'''  Robert kept on following Victoria's instructions on his designated medical treatment hopefully overcoming his seizures. Over the days, while being at home, Robert wrote some kind of memoir on a note as Victoria told him that it would help him separate his inner self from Arno's, but while he was writing down his feelings about his current situation, he went out of control and what looked like Arno's personality took over expressing feelings of anger towards the order of the Assassins as he couldn't understand why his mentor was killed by one of their own, after that, he started writing in perfect french about how much he loved Élise, and how they should escape the Assassins and Templars alike as their lives weren't their own.<ref name=":0" />
*[[American Revolution]] [REF Boston PR][REF NYC PR]
*'''July 14:''' During [[Storming of the Bastille|Bastille Day]], Robert sent an email to Victoria telling her that the flashbacks had struck him again and that it was the worst ones by far. He described how the festivities triggered smells of strawberries and tastes of pastries and also how he could feel every scratched knee, tree climbed and every moment spent with Élise. He also mentioned that Élise was a recurring subject in his dreams, ultimately leading him to break up with his real life girlfriend, Anne. He couldn't take it anymore, he was totally besotted with Élise. He asked himself whether he should continue on the case, asking Victoria to take him off the program, unless he wanted him to become Arno entirely, highlighting that from time to time he didn't even know if he was either Robert or Arno himself. He finished his mail by mentioning to Bibeau that if [[Sage|Sages]] could reincarnate in people why Arno couldn't, showing a clear state of dementia. After receiving Robert's email, Victoria worried even more about his case, advising him to take medication she had in stock that might help overcome the flashbacks until they could figure another way to deal with his dementia. Also, Victoria confessed to him that ever since the acknowledgement of the existence of Sages she didn't know what to think nor believe about the reincarnations, only knowing for sure that Arno's memories were the main cause of his hallucinations and nothing else according to her medical evalutations.<ref name=":0" />
*[[Battle of Bunker Hill]] [REF Boston PR]
*'''July 18:''' Robert was somewhat stabilized and resumed his work, right when he was contacted by Mélanie to inform him that the Licensing Division from Abstergo Industries was interested in creating action figures and that the Arno assignment was a source of interest to them. Mélanie wanted to know about Robert's insights on how they could deal with the designs tasking him to draw some sketches.<ref name=":0" />
*[[Battle of Yorktown]] [REF NYC PR]
*'''July 19-28:''' Victoria wasn't quite sure if Robert was ready to resume his work and instructed Abstergo to allow him a medical leave of absence. Robert spent a week and a half on recovery under the supervision of Victoria in order to prevent any other seizure until he was ready to be reinstated once again. During his recovery, Robert had the time to cope with his inner self and the personality of Arno, realizing that what Abstergo was doing with the memories of people was inhumane, and that he wasn't fully on board with it, alongside Victoria Bibeau they decided to have him reinstated back on the program in order to infiltrate Aidan's office, leak all the documents and files on his research to the Assassins and destroy them all afterwards to slow down Abstergo's progress.<ref name=":0" />
*[[Benjamin Franklin]] [REF Boston PR]
*'''July 29:''' Robert was declared healed of his dementia produced by the bleeding effect and reassigned to the Arno Dorian case, following his return, he wrote a general mail to the Abstergo Staff stating that he was grateful of the genuine concern received by the medical team, as well as his supervisor, Aidan St. Claire, over his mental state during the course of his investigation on Arno's memories and claiming that he was now clean and able to work at his best for the sake of Abstergo Entertainment development on their new game, inspired by Arno's life.<ref name=":0" />
*[[Boston]] [REF Boston PR]
*'''July 30:''' 
*[[British Army]] [REF NYC PR]
**Aidan greeted Robert back into the staff by sending him an email in which he noted how great it was to see that the week in recovery recommended by Victoria did its part on solving the problem with the Bleeding effect. Once Robert Fraser returned to his workstation, he put his plan of destroying the documents in motion. However, Robert was caught while doing so and subsequently terminated by the Templars. On Victoria's side, she pleaded misguided ignorance and thanks to her numerous friends in Abstergo who vouched for her, successfully convinced the Templars that she did what she did because she truly believed it was the right thing to do at the time. She was subsequently offered to join their cause and became a member of the Templar Order.<ref name=":0" />
*[[Charles Cornwallis]] [REF Boston PR][REF NYC PR]
**Upon Fraser's termination, Mélanie ordered Aidan to recover what was left from the files to give to Templar initiate [[Percy Westcreek]], an employee from the Abstergo Archival Department for him to review and to help finish Arno's genetic memories where Robert left off. Afterwards, Aidan was also terminated as the Templars thought it was unacceptable that an incident like Frasier's act of sabotage could happen under his watch. Percy was curiously enough one of the few individuals that possessed the [[Eagle Vision]], so Mélanie would sometimes pass him some artifacts to analyze them such as the Chalice of Initiation of the French Brotherhood of Assassins and the recovered watch from Arno himself. Eventually, Percy finally encountered the Sage and Grand Templar Master [[François-Thomas Germain]] on the 21rst of January 1793 at King Louis XVI's execution, which granted him a promotion amidst the Templar ranks as well as the title of [[Journeyman]] which allowed him full access to a document containing classified information such as the [[Isu|ISU]] research and technology and Abstergo's Project Phoenix. Once Percy had finished reading the full document, he was made aware of Abstergo's true intentions upon finding the remains of the sage: to recover them before the Assassins.<ref name=":0" />
*[[Crispus Attucks]] [REF Boston PR]
*'''July 31-August:''' Thanks to Percy's swift and methodic work on the Arno Dorian Case as well as the advantage of his Eagle Vision which helped accomplish his work,  Mélanie provided Percy with a trip on an Abstergo Entertainment private jet to investigate the French Assassins' hideout underneath the Sainte-Chapelle, hoping that Percy's Eagle Vision would help him discover some secrets others might have missed. Sometime later, Percy was assigned to investigate Fraser's apartment in which using his Eagle Vision he discovered a set of fingerprints that belonged to an individual known as [[Bishop|“Bishop”]] which was tied to the Assassins, meaning that they were on the same tracks as Asbtergo and that possibly they already had the information they needed. Nevertheless, all the work done by Percy was enough to be noticed by Alan Rikkin himself and after an unanimous vote he was inducted officially into the Templar order, and was assigned as replacement of Aidan St. Claire's post as Helix Project Coordinator, explaining that he had to be terminated due to his incompetence that caused the massive leak of information on the Dorian Case.<ref name=":0" />
*[[Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette]] [REF Boston PR][REF NYC PR]
*'''August 6:''' Mélanie Lemay called Álvaro Gramática to inform him of some periodic attempts by outside sources to access their storage servers, where they kept the helix memories for further analysis that had struck Abstergo Montreal's facility, and that in light of recent events, it was crucial that they had proper countermeasures to protect their data on their research as their only option as of then, was to shut down the servers in order to isolate the hackers and flush them out of their network. However, Álvaro advised not to worry about these grouped attacks as they were mere decoys for them not to focus in the right intruders. Álvaro sent out Violet D'acosta to help her secure their servers installing a new proprietary system that was able to detect and flush out rogue divers from the systems and protect them from any other attacks. However, albeit being reassured, Mélanie did not quite understand the endgoal behind the attacks. Álvaro then proceeded to explain that, in fact, the attackers were infiltrating Helix to sequence genetic memories just as they were doing for their own research, so it was imperative that violence should be used if necessary to maintain national security. Mélanie, committed to the cause as she was, agreed.<ref name="ACU" />
*[[King's College]] [REF NYC PR]
*'''August 21:''' [[Violet da Costa|Violet Da Costa]] informed Mélanie Lemay that their new security team installed at Abstergo Montreal to monitor the recent cyber attacks, discovered a huge amount of unauthorized data packs entering and leaving the Helix Servers. Violet outlined how they were just going to enter Beta version for Helix the previous week from that moment, but that this was an indicator of something troubling: That anyone could infiltrate the servers or communicate through them without prior authorization. Obviously, this was a problem, so, after some digging, they figured out how the attackers managed to get in and how they'd use to communicate between each other. Violet's team pulled some information out of those packs and discovered a conversation of two entities that talked about Humanity and control over the world, leaving everyone in the room troubled.<ref name="ACU" />
*[[Massachusetts]] [REF Boston PR]
*'''October 5:''' On behalf of what was happening around the world, [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane|Rebbeca Crane]] were always working to come up with new ways of helping the brotherhood. In order to better understand the origins of their enemy, The Templars, Shaun volunteered to delve into his genetic memories to explore various patrilineal and matrilineal lines into the past focusing on the 9th, 10th and 11th century in search of Assassins and/ or Templars in his bloodline. The research lasted for seven sessions over three weeks starting on the 5th of October.<ref name="ACV" />
*[[Philadelphia]] [REF NYC PR]
*'''October 13:''' Gavin Banks alongside Galina Voronina finally made their move on the Abstergo Laboratory in Paris where the Templars had John Standish's body and the original Shroud of Eden they were using to boost the progress on the Phoenix Project, leading a team of assassins to the facility to destroy them both. Sigma Team was dispatched to counter the Assassins, resulting in a harsh pursuit across the country all the way to La Rochelle where the Altaïr II was waiting for them, Sigma Team was ambushed and quickly outnumbered. [[Sorkin]], a survivor from [[Adriano Maestranzi|2012's Florence raid]] was stabbed seven times by Galina Voronina before the Assassins could make their escape, leaving Sigma Team no option but to retreat.<ref name="ACRG" />
*[[Queens]] [REF NYC PR]
*'''October:''' During the attack led by Gavin and his assassins, Álvaro was critically injured by the blast of a grenade tossed by Shaun Hastings. However, the [[Shrouds of Eden|Shroud of Eden]] managed to heal him for one last time, [[Consus]], the precursor entity that lived in the tissue of the shroud, revived him. Álvaro spoke with it before it faded away, thanking him and telling him goodbye. The original Shroud of Eden had lost its power and was now a simple piece of fancy looking cloth.<ref name="ACS" />
*[[Siege of Yorktown]] [REF Boston PR][REF NYC PR]
*'''October 20:''' Shaun and Rebecca discovered that one of Shaun's ancestors named [[Alrekr Thorvaldson|Alrek Thorvaldson]] had in his possession a wooden plank that had a carving of Thor's Hammer on it, which was without a doubt an ISU relic. Alrek was at some point captured and sold as a slave escaping his captivity 10 years later and settling down in Jutland losing the whereabouts of such plank in the process. Shaun grew somewhat irritated about the failure of their research but kept on a good spirit, proposing that they could explore the memories of his grandfather to “Give a Nazi a proper bollocking”.<ref name="ACV" />
*[[Thomas Jefferson]] [REF Boston PR][REF NYC PR]
*'''October 27:''' Mélanie Lemay called Álvaro Gramática to inform him that the previous group that hacked into Helix two months ago attacked again. Álvaro proceeded to ask what the intruders had stolen, but apparently nothing was taken out of their servers, all the files had just been scanned as a result of a massive data sweep. Mélanie was concerned that [[Erudito]] was responsible for this but Álvaro denied it as everything that had been scanned in the first attack would have already been spread in the media or publicly posted online, so he discarded them. She then suggested John Standish's group, the Instruments of the first will, but Álvaro also denied the eventuality as they were still low in numbers at that time, and too fractured to coordinate such attacks. Mélanie, stressed out, asked who could have breached their servers, he confessed that he had his suspicions but did not know yet, but that in the meantime, she should get someone to fast track the memories of Arno Dorian to check if they had missed something as he was worried that the Assassins knew something they didn't. Mélanie agreed, reassuring Álvaro that she would get someone on the matter immediately.<ref name="ACU" />
*[[William Dawes]] [REF Boston PR]
*'''October 28-30:''' Following the escape of Gavin and his Assassins after the destruction of Abstergo's Lab in Paris, [[Laetitia England]] requested a meeting with Juhani Otso Berg for a debriefing. She wanted to know how a top secret lab such as the one in Paris was discovered and subsequently destroyed by just a few Assassins. Berg expressed his frustration and outlined that she should have listened to him at the time she decided to disband his team to send him on a fool's errand around the globe in search of relics and that if they hadn't let the Assassins regroup for a year none of that would have happened, stating also that the group of Assassins which raided the lab weren't simple assassin brawlers. It was none other than Gavin Banks, a long time enemy among Templar ranks well known for his strategy and information network around the world, thus, it was a mistake to have underestimated him. Laetitia admitted her wrongs and authorized the reassignment of Sigma Team but that the research for Sages was still a priority. Berg asked for Violet Da Costa to be reinstated back with him, but she wasn't available as she was in Montréal trying to figure out how to stop the hackers interested in the Helix servers and Juno. Berg requested to be transferred alongside her so he could ensure her security if any other strike had to occur. Laetitia granted him his request and Berg left for Montréal to ensure the Building's protection and to protect Mélanie Lemay's leads on potential Sages.<ref name="ACRG" />
*'''Early November:''' 
**[[William Miles]] took over the leadership of the Assassins once again, he designated a woman nicknamed [[Bishop|The Enabler, a.k.a “Bishop”]] among the Initiates, to be the official handler of the Initiates and their worldwide network. After Shaun's callout for help, the Initiates allied with them and started working together as a whole. Bishop was put in charge of helping them synchronize genetic memories from Abstergo Industries cloud server, monitor the Assassins by assigning them wherever the Brotherhood needed them to be sent out, and acting against the Templars if necessary. Bishop spotted among her scannings a new [[Helix Initiate|Helix user]] that was working in Abstergo, that had just completed a set of memories involving a Sage and Grand Master Templar from the 14th century [[Jacques de Molay]], drawing her attention to this individual, thus contacting him instantly, hacking his interface. Bishop explained to the Helix user that he was being manipulated by Abstergo to sift through memories for their own benefit, following which she asked him to experience an unsequenced set of Arno Dorian's memories as an introduction to the Assassins and Templars to show him irrefutable proof that Abstergo was indeed a cover up for their true intentions on the world. Once the Initiate had completed the first sequence, Bishop offered him a chance to join the Assassins.
**After the Initiate accepted her offer, Bishop sent him a video file of Abstergo's Phoenix Project, explaining that the Templars were searching for Sages both in the present and the past so they could sequence a full Precursor genome. The Initiate was then tasked with exploring Arno's memories. In this way, the Assassins hoped to find out where the remains of the Sage [[François-Thomas Germain|François Germain]] had ended up and recover them before the Templars could, as it was reported by Abstergo that Arno crossed paths with said sage at some point in his life. After completing certain sets of memory sequences, Abstergo began performing a server sweep as they were on high alert due to the recent attacks by hackers in order to flush out any possible intruder or rogue element, forcing the Initiate's avatar to flee through Helix rifts to avoid being detected, transporting him into other historical periods in Paris. Eventually, the Initiate discovered that Arno buried the remains of François-Thomas Germain in the Parisian catacombs leaving Bishop satisfied with the results of the Initiate's investigation as the fact that Germain's body was within the catacombs all these years meant that the bones would be too degraded for Abstergo to collect genetic memory data from them. After awarding the Initiate for his thorough work, Bishop told him that she would stay in touch with him for further assignments, but until then, she urged him to continue searching Arno's memories for any information that could aid the Assassins. <ref name="ACU" />
**Sometime later, the Initiate had managed to access an additional sequence of memories that weren't part of the pack Bishop had passed him. When accessing them, he triggered a glitch in the system that locked them out of Helix alerting Bishop. However, she was able to stabilize the connection, allowing the Initiate to continue his work and eventually discovered that in the Early 1880's Arno discovered an Apple of Eden underneath the [[Saint-Denis|Saint-Denis Basilica]] and sent it out to Egypt where it would be guarded by the Brotherhood.<ref name="ACU" />
**Shortly after the arrival of Juhani Otso Berg at Abstergo Entertainment joining Violet Da Costa at her assigned workstation, a Helix research analyst nicknamed [[Numbskull|“Numbskull”]]  triggered a virus while exploring the genetic memories of colonial Templar [[Shay Cormac|Shay Patrick Cormac]]. The virus ejected all of the Employees from their animi and had to be escorted by Violet through an evacuation procedure overseen by Mélanie Lemay. Once the building was cleared, Violet insisted on destroying the memories as they were the source of the malware, but Berg proposed to study them instead, recruiting the analyst responsible for the release of the virus in the building's computer systems to fix them. Violet wanted the analyst to help her reboot the Helix software from the [[bunker]] so they could access Shay Cormac's memories, but the access elevator to the underground levels were also shut down as the virus had spread through the totality of the building's systems.<ref name="ACRG" />
**Over the next five days, Violet oversaw the analyst reviewing of the memory sequences that were available, as well as simultaneously performing maintenance on the rest of the systems throughout the facility in order to flush the virus out.<ref name="ACRG" />
**The analyst was able to explore Cormac's genetic memories during several sessions, however, the animus kicked him out from time to time due to the rogue files damaged by the virus, when this would happen, the Analyst would go on repairing colleagues' computers and tablets left in the offices by the panick that ensued as the evacuation took place, thus, restoring the majority of the devices overtime. After a week, Violet and the Analyst were able to completely restore the Helix servers. After completing their task, Mélanie Lemay, Berg and Violet Da Costa invited the analyst into the CCO's office where they congratulated him for his thorough work on the Shay Cormac case. At that moment, Berg told the analyst that his research served them well as they could send a powerful message to the Assassins by uploading Shay's memories to their network, stating that when pressed, what an Assassin truly wants isn't freedom, but order. It was then revealed to the analyst that Mélanie, Violet and Berg were all members of the [[Templar Order]]. From there, the analyst was given a choice to join the Templars, or refuse and be killed by Berg to ensure that no one outside the Templar Order knew of their continued existence.<ref name="ACRG" />
**Following the upload of Cormac's video file in the Assassin network under Berg's command, reports of assassins emptying a few safehouses, shutting down servers and installing new firewalls started to emerge, resulting in the evacuation of the infiltrated Initiates within Abstergo Entertainment, which, Berg had already spotted, and had been monitoring his communications with other Initiates as well as their desperate way to cover their tracks and escape, eliminating them before they could exfiltrate and regroup. After the threats at Abstergo Entertainment were finally neutralized, Violet and Berg were on stand-by for new orders and the possible reinstatement of [[Sorkin]] in their team, as the duo had the knowledge that he survived to his injuries but was still in rehabilitation.<ref name="ACRG" />
*'''November 2:''' Melanie Lemay lamented to [[Álvaro Gramática]] the [[Noob|analyst's]] departure, as it would have been skilled enough to explore [[Arno Dorian]]'s genetic memories. Since the analyst's departure, Abstergo had trouble finding researchers who were able to handle the memories of individuals with a high count of [[Isu|First Civilization]] DNA.<ref name="ACU" />
*'''November 5:''' Eric Cooper texted Emmett Leary to inform him that he had set up a headquarters in [[Paris]], and were waiting on him to connect to the servers of a local [[Helix]] hub.<ref name="ACI" />
*'''December 1:''' Álvaro Gramática, still in shock due to the massive loss of data caused by the destruction of the [[Abstergo Industries Paris facility|lab in Paris]], the complete degradation of [[John Standish|John Standish's]] body as well as the original [[Shroud of Eden 1|Shroud of eden]], tried to organize a new initiative that would accelerate the gathering of data by merging  industry and Entertainment, therefore, [[Helix]], in the lives of everyone. From [[Bodyband|wristbands]] to healthcare clinics that would allow them to take samples of every individual that interacts with them, Álvaro was convinced that this was the only way to hopefully research and acquire descendants with a high ISU DNA concentration.<ref name="ACS" />


=== 2015 ===


* '''Early January:''' Following Álvaro Gramática's plan to merge Helix and the everyday life of the people, [[Abstergo Industries]] in collaboration with [[MysoreTech]] launched the [[Brahman V.R.|Animus VR]] in the US at an affordable price and in many different versions, in order to target a wider range of consumers. In this way, the already important number of Abstergo products in the average american house would double within the year accompanied by the various healthcare products such as [[Herne+]] and [[Bodyband|bodybands]] that would be sold in new clinics installed around the world to provide them.<ref name="ACS" /><ref name="TEG2" />
*[[Boston Common]] [REF Boston An American Navy][REF Boston Minutemen]
* '''September 25:''' Isabelle Ardant visited Álvaro Gramática at his [[Phoenix Project|facility in Australia]], main base of operations for the Phoenix Project, to inform him of new findings related to a possible [[Shroud of Eden 2|second shroud of eden]] that would be located somewhere in London. She proceeded to explain that their findings a couple of years ago about the [[Koh-i-Noor|Kooh-i-noor]] made them unearth the genetic line of [[Arbaaz Mir]] who was an active Assassins during the 1840's. Álvaro was confused as to what that information had to do with the obtention of a new shroud, to which Isabelle brought up a file in which the genetic line exposed that Arbaaz's son, [[Jayadeep Mir]], was active in London in the 1860's and was assigned to help the Assassin twins [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye|Evie]] Frye look after another Shroud and secure it before the Templar [[Crawford Starrick]] could, Grand Master of the british rite, at the time. Álvaro was overjoyed by her findings and immediately demanded [[Juhani Otso Berg]] and [[Sigma Team|his team]] to be assigned on the obtention of the artifact.<ref name="ACS" />
*[[Boston Massacre]] [REF Boston Justice on Trial][REF Boston PR]
* '''October 4:''' Isabelle Ardant's calendar had her birthday marked on it for celebration.<ref name="ACS" />
*[[Boston Tea Party]] [REF Boston A Tea Party][REF Boston PR]
* '''October 10:'''  One of the new clinics installed in New York City as part of the initiative led by Álvaro Gramática, received the visit from a [[Elijah's mother|woman]] and her 10 year old child, which turned out to be the illegitimate son of [[Desmond Miles]], [[Elijah]]. Isabelle Ardant immediately reported to Gramática as she was in desperate need to prove herself to Abstergo, wanting to get the breakthrough of her career. Isabelle informed Álvaro that when the mother walked her son in the clinic, the boy's DNA not only revealed that he was Desmond's child but that he also was a Sage. Álvaro expressed his excitement to Isabelle stating that he wanted to cut the boy to pieces as he had done before with [[Desmond Miles|subject 17]] in order to expand his research, but Isabelle opposed herself to this claiming that it was her project and allowing such treatment would be inhumane. Instead, she proposed it would be better to place him in an Animus for the next 50 years to come, highlighting the massive amount of Data they could extract from his genetic memories. Álvaro was somewhat irritated at the idea of not having him on his table of operations, but Isabelle's insights suggested that it would be better to let the child grow and have him monitored until the time to capture him was due.<ref name="ACS" />
*[[Bowling Green]] [REF NYC Tearing down the King]
* '''October 15:'''  Isabelle Ardant arranged a meeting with [[Mitsuko Nakamura]], director of research of Abstergo Industries' [[Lineage Discovery and Acquisition]], to inform her about her project of monitoring Elijah to subsequently use him in the future, putting him inside an animus to exploit his genetic data, as his heritage was one of the most unique high isu-concentrated DNA Abstergo ever recorded. Proposing to wait until he was mature enough for his body to resist the effects of the animus and study his DNA for the next 50 years to come.<ref name="ACS" />
*[[Charles Grey, 1st Earl Grey]] [REF NYC Passing Judgment]
* '''October 17:'''  [[Alan Rikkin]], grand master of the templar order and CEO of Abstergo Industries at the time, summoned Isabelle at a conference as he had heard of her new initiative. Isabelle, hungry for renown as she was, saw this as her ultimate opportunity to stand out once and for good, presenting her project and obtaining her long desired approval from Alan Rikkin and the board, charging Isabelle to handle the research and acquisition of the new Shroud of Eden and monitoring of the descendant of Subject 17.<ref name="ACS" />

** Bishop dispatched Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane to Isabelle's office in London to gather information on pieces of Eden in order to identify what Abstergo was looking for. The duo arrived at the office and hacked Isabelle's personal computer revealing meetings, plannings for new projects and ancestry lines with the names of all the existing assassins in the UK. While Rebecca was scanning her files, she noticed that Isabelle was having a meeting later that evening in her office. Rebecca saw this as an opportunity to assassinate Isabelle and decided alongside Shaun to go off-books and take their chances. They rigged the place with explosives to secure an escape route in case they needed to flee and waited to ambush her.<ref name="ACS" />
*[[Continental Navy]] [REF Boston An American Navy][REF Boston PR]
** Several hours later, Isabelle arrived and called Álvaro Gramática to inform him that Sigma Team was called in to search for the Shroud of Eden and that she would inform him whenever they obtained results. Right when she ended the call, Shaun and Rebecca emerged from their hiding spots and confronted Isabelle. However, Sigma team operatives Juhani Otso Berg and Violet Da Costa intercepted the two assassins before they could make their move. Isabelle ordered Berg to apprehend them but Rebecca activated the explosives causing an explosion shattering the office's main window allowing them to jump, performing a leap of faith, thus, escaping the complex. <ref name="ACS" />
*[[Culper Ring]] [REF NYC Colonial House][REF NYC PR]
** After escaping Isabelle's Office, Shaun and Rebecca headed to a secret hideout where they would rest and recover, once there, Bishop contacted them, informing Rebecca that the data she had downloaded hours earlier contained the genetic lines of two individuals named Jacob and Evie Frye, two Assassin twins that operated in Victorian London in the 1860's and at some point got in contact with another Shroud of Eden that had been hidden in London ever since they recovered it. Shaun stated that they would need backup to overcome Sigma Team as they were alone. Bishop reassured them that she would send help and that an [[Helix Initiate|Initiate]] was already synchronizing with the memories by the time they managed to download them, so they only had to focus on securing the Shroud once it was located by the Initiate. However, after she had checked on the hideout, she contacted the Initiate to instruct him that he needed to double up his work as the attempt at assassinating Isabelle compromised the Assassin anonymity in London, therefore, Bishop wanted to be one step ahead of Abstergo at all times.<ref name="ACS" />
*[[Declaration of Independence]] [REF NYC Tearing down the King]
* '''October 25-26:''' Overnight, Bishop checked upon the duo to see if everything was alright and noticed Shaun was still awake, surprised, she asked him what was wrong. Shaun confessed that he was still grieving over the loss of Desmond and felt bad for the hostile persona Shaun always displayed everytime Desmond was around him because of jealousy. However, his confession was abruptly stopped when [[Galina Voronina]] made her entry behind Shaun's back, scaring him. After a few formalities, Galina instructed Shaun to rest as they had a tough task ahead of them.<ref name="ACS" />

**The following days after Galina's arrival, the Initiate finally managed to discover the location of the Shroud through the memories he was tasked to explore. The artifact was hidden inside a vault under [[Buckingham Palace vault|Buckingham Palace]]. Bishop dispatched the team to retrieve the artifact before the Templars, but Isabelle was already on site with Sigma operatives. Rebecca, baffled by the setback the presence of Templars represented, wanted to abort the mission. However, Shaun proposed that it was the perfect time to get rid of Sigma and retrieve the artifact at the same time. Galina agreed and tossed a smoke grenade into the vault as Sigma Team and Isabelle were about to leave with the Shroud, causing a distraction. Galina engaged in hand to hand combat with Juhani Otso Berg, while Shaun used his [[Hidden Blade|shock blade]] to assassinate Isabelle taking advantage of the fight's havoc. Berg ordered Violet Da Costa to take away the Shroud and secure it, though, before leaving with the shroud she waved her gun at Shaun in an attempt to kill him, but Rebecca stood across the trajectory of the bullet in order to save him, thus, taking the shot instead. Galina managed to knock out Berg and was about to finish him but was forced to retreat as a Templar strike team arrived and opened fire over her. Shaun ordered Galina to find an exit while holding Rebbecca who was badly injured. Galina used another smoke grenade to eliminate the strike team, offering the opportunity to escape from the vault.<ref name="ACS" />

**Shortly after escaping from the vault under Buckingham Palace, Violet delivered the Shroud of Eden to Álvaro Gramática at his top secret lab where he worked on Project Phoenix. There, she learned about Álvaro's true intentions with the newly acquired piece of eden: Recreate from scratch a fully functional precursor body. Álvaro explained that it would be possible as the shroud heals and reconstructs tissue on a cellular level, so, folding it over precursor tissue or DNA would slowly but effectively end up regenerating a precursor being. Violet handed over the Shroud to Gramática, and as she saw him go away to report to Alan Rikkin about the obtention of the Shroud, Violet summoned Juno through a computer to inform her that she had delivered the Shroud as she asked, but that she was scared for her. Juno greeted Violet stating that she served her well and that she was ought to save all of humanity, reassuring her that there was no reason whatsoever to fear anything.<ref name="ACS" />

Boston People of the Revolution[edit | edit source]

John Adams was a foundational figure of the American Revolution. A Harvard-educated lawyer from Massachusetts, Adams rose to prominence by opposing the 1765 Stamp Act, serving as a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, and working to build the newly formed American navy. While sympathetic to the patriot cause, his belief in the rule of law led him to successfully defend British soldiers involved in the 1770 Boston Massacre. In Congress, he was instrumental in persuading delegates to declare independence, nominating George Washington as commander of the Continental Army, and playing a key role in drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Later, he was central in negotiating the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. Adams later authored the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution, influencing the future U.S. Constitution. He served as the first vice president under Washington and as the second president of the United States.

Born in Boston, Samuel Adams was a pivotal Founding Father, political philosopher, and civic leader who galvanized colonial resistance against British authority. He strongly opposed the Stamp Act and other parliamentary taxation measures, leading to his involvement in the formation and operation of the Sons of Liberty in Boston. During the 1760s and 1770s he coordinated anti-British activities both within Boston and across the colonies, including the Boston Tea Party.

As a delegate to the Continental Congress, Adams was a firm advocate for separating from Britain, signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776. He was also involved in drafting the Articles of Confederation and, after the war, served as governor of Massachusetts.

Crispus Attucks was one of the first casualties of the American Revolution. As an escaped slave working as a sailor and dock worker in Boston, he became a protest leader and the first victim of the Boston Massacre. During the confrontation with British soldiers on King Street, Attucks stood at the forefront of a crowd, demanding that the soldiers leave. When the soldiers opened fire, Attucks was shot twice in the chest, dying instantly.

Although his death was used as political propaganda to fuel anti-British sentiment during the period, his status as a martyr was cemented by 19th-century abolitionists who highlighted his sacrifice as a testament to Black patriotism.

Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers. A seasoned diplomat in London, he initially opposed the Stamp Act and, upon returning to America, he helped draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776. One of his most significant contributions to the Revolution was serving as the primary American envoy to France from 1776 to 1778. Using his fame as a scientist and diplomatic expertise, he secured essential French financial and military support. This support is widely regarded as being instrumental in turning the tide of the war.

Franklin is the only Founding Father to sign all three major documents establishing the United States: the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Treaty of Paris ending the war (1783), and the U.S. Constitution (1787).

John Hancock was an American merchant, statesman, and prominent Patriot leader during the American Revolution. Inheriting a massive fortune from his uncle, Hancock became one of New England's wealthiest men and used this wealth and influence to oppose British taxation policies. His defiance made him popular in Boston, particularly after customs officials seized his ship, the Liberty, in 1768 on charges of smuggling.

Hancock served as the President of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1777, and after the war, he served as the first and third Governor of Massachusetts. He is best known for being the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776, doing so with a large, bold signature to defy King George III.

Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies' break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness".

Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay.

He quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.

After returning to France after the war, Lafayette remained a lifelong friend of the United States and was granted honorary U.S. citizenship in 2002.

Paul Revere was a prominent Boston silversmith, industrialist, and dedicated Patriot. A leading member of the Sons of Liberty, Revere organized intelligence networks to monitor British troops and co-originated anti-British agitation, including taking part in the 1773 Boston Tea Party. During the war, Revere served in the Massachusetts Militia and manufactured gunpowder for the Continental Army.

He is most well known for his dramatic midnight ride on April 18, 1775, to warn colonists of advancing British forces. Following instructions, a "one if by land, two if by sea" signal was placed in the Old North Church, alerting Revere to the British route across the Charles River. Along with William Dawes and others, Revere spread the alarm from Boston to Lexington, enabling leaders John Hancock and Samuel Adams to escape and allowing militiamen to prepare for the crucial battles of Lexington and Concord. Though captured by a British patrol shortly after his ride, his mission was successful. This was later immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1861 poem, "Paul Revere's Ride" transforming him into a lasting symbol of American independence and civic bravery.

Joseph Warren was a Founding Father of the United States and a central leader in the Patriot movement in Boston during the early American Revolution. A respected physician and member of the Sons of Liberty, Warren became a key political organizer. He often acted as a master spy, utilizing his intelligence network to stay ahead of British movements. Notably, on April 18, 1775, it was Warren who dispatched Paul Revere and William Dawes on their famous midnight ride to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the British march toward Lexington and Concord.

Despite having little formal military training, Warren was later appointed a major general and showed immense courage by volunteering as a private soldier in the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, where he was killed in action at age 34.

George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence.

Unanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.

Boston Mem[edit | edit source]

NYC People of the Revolution[edit | edit source]

Caesar was one of hundreds of sailors, White and Black, who helped the Continental Army escape from Brooklyn in 1776, enabling the rebellion to survive. Born in Africa, he was enslaved as a child and brought to North America.

Somehow, he earned his freedom, and in 1775 he joined the Revolution as part of the Marblehead regiment. This group of seamen manned the boats in the New Jersey and New York campaigns, including the famous crossing of the Delaware River. Black New Englanders like Caesar were among the Continental Army's first recruits, 150 of whom carried Washington's troops from Brooklyn Heights to Peck Slip in August 1776. The amateur military, greatly outnumbered, was badly defeated in Long Island. But they were saved by a thick fog, an early historian writing that no one in the region could remember any such weather “within the space of twenty or thirty years\". If not for the skill of mariners like Caesar, military historians agree, no more than half of the decimated rebel army would have escaped.

Nathan Hale is one of the American Revolution's most famous spies and one of its earliest martyrs. Having volunteered to stay in New York after the Battle of Long Island in order to pass information to the Revolutionary cause, the 21-year-old Patriot was hanged by the occupying British government on September 22, 1776. This underscored the importance of effective espionage practices for the rebels.

Alongside George Washington's spy ring on Long Island, intelligence-gathering was far more commonly done by everyday unsung heroes of the cause. Knowledge is typically passed mouth to mouth, through both formal and informal communication networks. Waitresses overhearing conversation between officers in a tavern passed information on to rebel informants. Slaves moving goods from city to country reported on the British army's health. Families permitted to cross battlefield lines to visit relatives shared observations in conversation and correspondence.\n

Alexander Hamilton was one of George Washington's trusted advisers during the American Revolution and the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Born in 1757 in the West Indies, he was orphaned at the age of 11. His cleverness showed early, and his employers pooled their money to send him to university. Hamilton moved to New York in 1773 and began attending King's College (later Columbia University). By 1774, he was writing pro-rebel articles, and by 1775 he'd joined the volunteer militia to oppose the British. \n \nIn 1776 he formed his own artillery company, becoming a captain, before being appointed as aide-de-camp to Washington in 1777. A skilled military commander, his leadership was decisive in the Battle of Yorktown. After the war Hamilton went on to become a respected statesman, representing New York and the nation in the preservation of the principles of the revolution and formation of the new government.

William Howe was the commander in chief of the British Army in North America (1776–78). Despite several military successes, he was unable to destroy the Continental Army and stem the American Revolution.\n \nWilliam Howe had been active in North America during the French and Indian War a few years earlier, where he earned a reputation as one of the army's most brilliant young generals. He initially captured New York in 1776 when the British defeated the Americans at the Battle of Long Island and later led the campaign to capture Philadelphia. These victories were, however, not enough to defeat Washington's armies, and he resigned in 1778 to return to Britain.

Thomas Jefferson was a pivotal figure in the American Revolution, acting as a leading intellectual, a political activist, and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the conflict, while he did not fight on the battlefield, he sought to transform the American colonies into a modern republic, advocating for the separation of church and state, the abolition of feudal inheritance laws, and widespread educational reform. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1776, the 33-year-old Virginian was tasked with drafting the document that justified the colonies' break from Great Britain, articulating the foundational American ideals of \"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness\".\n

Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a crucial role in the American Revolution, acting as a vital link between the American colonies and France. Inspired by the American cause of liberty, the 19-year-old defied King Louis XVI and traveled to America in 1777, volunteering to serve without pay. \n \nHe quickly formed a close bond with George Washington and was commissioned as a major general in the Continental Army. Lafayette proved his bravery and skill in battle and was wounded in action. This led him to return to France and lobby for increased military aid, successfully securing French troops and supplies for the colonies. Returning to America in 1781, he led American forces against Lord Cornwallis in Virginia, setting the stage for the decisive American-French victory at the Siege of Yorktown.

Francis Lewis was a Welsh-born merchant and patriot who signed the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. As a dedicated radical in New York, he served in the Stamp Act Congress and was a member of the Committee of Sixty and the New York Provincial Congress before joining the Continental Congress from 1775 to 1779.

During the Revolutionary War, Lewis utilized his commercial experience to help secure supplies for the Continental Army, particularly through his work on the Continental Board of Admiralty. His commitment to the patriot cause came at a high personal cost. Following the Battle of Long Island in 1776, British forces destroyed his estate in Queens and imprisoned his wife. While she was later released in a prisoner exchange, the harsh conditions of her captivity severely affected her health, leading to her death in 1779. Devastated by his wife's death, Lewis subsequently retired from politics, leaving Congress in 1779 and retiring completely by 1781.

Hercules Mulligan was a vital spy for the Continental Army and a dedicated patriot during the American Revolution. Raised in New York City, he was an early member of the Sons of Liberty and a close associate of Alexander Hamilton, whom he mentored and introduced to revolutionary ideals. Working as a successful tailor, Mulligan cultivated relationships with high-ranking British Officers, allowing him to gather crucial intelligence directly from the enemy. Despite the dangers of operating within British-occupied New York, he operated as a confidential correspondent for George Washington, supplying information that helped shape the war's outcome.

Mulligan is credited with saving Washington's life on two occasions by revealing plots to capture him. Even after being suspected of spying and briefly arrested, he continued his intelligence work with the help of his enslaved assistant, Cato. Following the war, Washington solidified Mulligan's reputation as a patriot by having breakfast with him shortly after the British evacuation of New York.

Isaac Sears was the public face of the Sons of Liberty in New York City, the second and perhaps most active chapter in the colonies. He was a prosperous merchant, like so many leaders of the underground rebel group. During the mid-1700s, he made fine income as a privateer, hunting the ships of imperial rivals for the British. Only when the Sugar Act brought an end to his trade in the West Indies did the sea captain turn against Britain. During the revolution he was a member of the Committee of Sixty and was involved in raids on British troops and in the destruction of Loyalist property throughout New York City.

Anna Smith Strong was the only recorded female member of the Culper Spy Ring, a secret network established to gather intelligence for General George Washington in British-occupied New York. Living in Setauket, Long Island, she utilized her position to pass messages while avoiding suspicion, partly because her relatives were Loyalists.

Strong's fame stems from the ingenious clothesline code which she used to signal Caleb Brewster, a courier who transported intelligence across the Long Island Sound. When a message was ready to be picked up, she would hang a black petticoat on her clothesline, clearly visible from across the bay. She would add a specific number of white handkerchiefs to indicate which of the six designated coves Brewster should use to meet his contact.

George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Tasked with fighting a superior British force, Washington formed the colonial militias into a disciplined fighting force. Despite losing more battles than he won, his resilience, strategic retreats, and crucial victories, such as the final victory at Yorktown, secured American independence. \n \nUnanimously elected, Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797, where he implemented a strong, well-financed national government, including the creation of a national bank. His dedication to civilian control of the military, together with his voluntary retirement after two terms, helped secure the stability of American democracy.
