I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
This individual was a hitman based in Chicago.
Biography
On 30 May 2014, he was hired to assassinate Abstergo Entertainment's Chief Creative Officer (CCO) and Templar ally Olivier Garneau. After attacking and destroying his vehicle on the freeway, the hitman shot Garneau as he tried to crawl away. The hitman's actions, however, were covered-up by the company and kept deep under wraps.[1]
In late 2017, CCTV footage of the assassination was obtained by Layla Hassan, which she kept in her personal files on other mysterious disappearances and deaths related to Abstergo Industries.[1]
Behind the scenes
The CCTV image of the man is an allusion to Aiden Pearce, the main protagonist of the first entry in the Watch_Dogs series, as the two appear to be identical. In Watch_Dogs (2013), the player is assigned a target by the name of Olivier Garneau in the mission "Requiescat In Pace". They are instructed to "immobilize" his car and only to "knock down the target"; killing Olivier will automatically fail the mission, although it is possible to execute him after a mission success. Although this Olivier is described as being "targeted by the Brotherhood" and involved in "genetic memory manipulation", there is a discrepancy between what is presented here and in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (2013).
Specifically, Olivier's company position changes, since Black Flag has him as Abstergo Entertainment's Chief Creative Officer while Watch_Dogs puts him even higher as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), a job that at the time was still occupied by Grand Master Alan Rikkin. While it would be chronologically consistent for this Olivier to be the same one as in Black Flag, since both games are set in 2013 and hacked security camera footage from Black Flag's post-game reveals Supervisor Melanie Lemay's worry at suddenly losing contact with Olivier just two days after his departure, Assassin's Creed: Origins (2017) reveals though the Abstergo employee Layla Hassan's collected files that Olivier was still alive according to a recovered Quinkie's receipt dated 25 May 2014, five days before his murder was captured on CCTV.
Even all this aside, Ubisoft's stance on any connection between the two is that it is a non-canonical "Easter egg", with Black Flag's Lead Writer Darby McDevitt saying the Watch_Dogs development team asked for an idea and accepted his "little joke",[2] and Brand Manager Aymar Azaïzia twice refuting the alleged link, once in March 2017 during a Reddit AMA session when he stated that "[Watch_Dogs] and [Assassin's Creed] are different universe[s]"[3] and again in a November 2017 tweet in which he asserted there was "no multiverse. [The games] are not part of a join[t] narrative" before requesting that fans stop asking him, adding "[he's] said it a lot, can't make it more clear than that".[4]

"@swordmaster123: Hey there, thanks for doing this AMA!. If you could pick any of these characters to revisit in another game which would you pick and why? Connor, Arno, Shay, Edward, Jacob and Evie. Not including Altair and Ezio as they've appeared in other games. Another thing, and I can understand if you cannot answer this, but there are some people who theorize Assassins Creed and Watch dogs are directly connected and exist within the same universe. Do they? Also really loved the movie, excited for more AC!!!
@AymarMtl: Nice questions, I may go with Shay, full fledge next gen game, I love the character, the setting, I would never get tired of naval, and I would love to have more Templar games! Haha, no WD and AC are different universe, despite the fact we are all colleagues from Ubi Mtl and WD is having a few easter eggs. I mean people have theories about every Disney, Tarantino, Pixar movies being part of the same universe. They share references, and elements, but it's not a big multiverse :) Thanks!" - ↑ venngar_0011 (@venngar_0011) on Twitter "@AymarMtl another question in our mind ;) pic.twitter.com/DN-_hW2W0A" (screenshot)
