Biography

Kennedy was a supporter of equal rights for all races at the height of the Civil Rights Movement including the ubiquitous right to vote.[1] He also proposed a joint venture to the Moon with the Soviet Union as part of the Apollo program during the early 1960s, despite the hostile mood of East-West relations at the time.[2] Though initially a pawn of the Templars,[3] both of these events marked him as an enemy of Abstergo Industries and the Templars.[1] The Central Intelligence Agency's Director William King Harvey, who was secretly an Assassin defector to the Templars, devised a plan to assassinate Kennedy by hiring the extremist Boris Pash and his Assassin cell Bloodstone Unit to kill Kennedy and recover the President's Apple of Eden.[3]

On 22 November 1963. while Kennedy was being driven through Dallas, Texas, Bloodstone Unit's Assassins killed him[3] while the Templars' sleeper agent[4] Lee Harvey Oswald was publicly framed for the murder.[1] In the ensuing confusion, Kennedy's driver, the CIA agent and Assassin William Greer grabbed the President's Apple of Eden,[3] in accordance with his secret training by Abstergo using an Apple of Eden. Furthermore, using yet another Apple of Eden, the Templars made a "phantom" appear on a nearby hill, creating more commotion.[1]

While Greer attempted to flee with the Apple, he was stopped by fellow Assassin Alekseï Gavrani, who wanted to disrupt Boris Pash's plans. He stole the Apple from Greer and brought it to William King Harvey, unaware of Harvey's true affiliations.[3] That same day, Kennedy's Vice President and secret Templar Lyndon B. Johnson was initiated as President of the United States. During Johnson's presidency, the Templars finally used the Apollo program to reach the Moon and retrieve an Apple of Eden from its surface.[1]
