The Aerie is an Abstergo Industries complex directed by Isaiah, which housed the Lineage Discovery and Acquisition Division. The facility was composed of five buildings linked to each other and surrounded by a large park. In 2016, after the Templars captured a team of teenagers using a stolen Animus to find the Trident of Eden, they were brought to the Aerie. There, Isaiah and Dr. Victoria Bibeau tried to learn more about the group's discoveries.[1]
History
In February 2014, Templar scientist Sofia Rikkin and Abstergo employee Layla Hassan exchanged emails regarding a "robotic arm" Animus prototype for the Aerie facility in North America, designed to offer users greater freedom of movement. Layla reviewed the Animus designs and suggested improvements, stating that Sofia was "looking at it the wrong way."[2]
Sofia was initially uncertain about the idea of suspending the Subject in midair, but she forwarded the concept to Gabriel King, the chief engineer at the Abstergo facility in Madrid. Gabriel, who was initially puzzled, showed a change in his expression, indicating he saw the potential of the idea. After some time without updates, Layla inquired on January 2, 2015, about the progress of the project.[2]
By August 2016, with Sofia's help, the Aerie housed a portable version of the Animus. However, Layla Hassan was both angered and confused, demanding an explanation from Sofia, as she had not only been left uncredited but also felt used. Later that same month, Sofia ended all contact with her and gently asked her to not contact her again for the near future untill she has proven herself more trust worthy to stay by the company's regelations.[1]
Later that same year, a Templar a strike team captured Sean Molloy, Natalya Aliyev, Grace and David Collins and brought them over the Aerie facility. There, Isaiah and Dr. Victoria Bibeau persuaded them to help them find the lost Trident of Eden and help them understand their mysterious connection to the Ascendance Event, which was of great interest to the Templars.[1]
Search for the Precursor Manuscript
At the Aerie, Isaiah was keen on exploring the memories of Sean Malloy's ancestor, Tommy Greyling, believing they held the answer to better understanding the Prongs of Eden. Inside the Animus, they discovered that Ulysses S. Grant had been in possession of a Precursor box which he used to decipher a Precursor manuscript, learning how to use the Prong of Eden more efficiently to win the Presidential election.[3]
During a short break in-between Animus sessions, Isaiah contacted Victoria on videocall, as the latter had left for London to aid Simon Hathaway with his research. As they discussed the importance of finding the manuscript, Victoria urged Isaiah not to take drastic measures as Sean was still recovering from his traumas, and using the Animus could prevent Sean from accepting his body's new limitations.[3]
However, Isaiah decided to still push boundaries. As a result, Sean's prolonged exposure to the Animus and Tommy's encounter with a Templar agent named Alice turned deadly, and the teen experienced a violent desynchronization and needed to be brought to the Aerie's medical wing. Natalya, angered by Isaiah's lack of care for Sean's well-being, confronted him, but stormed out of the room when Sean decided he would go back inside the Animus, much to Isaiah's delight.[3]
In the gardens of the Aerie, Natalya was comforted by David and Grace, as they, just like her, believed that Isaiah was using Sean and would "drop him like a fly" as soon as he was finished with him. However, they did not want to say anything for the time being, as they feared the Templars might keep a closer eye on them if they spoke up.[3]
After resuming his Animus sessions, Sean experienced Tommy's failed capture of Alice and the manuscript pages, leading Isaiah to conclude that the pages were presumably in Templar hands by now. He thus decided to abandon the search, much to Sean's disappointment. The teen subsequently went to speak with his friends, and Natalya, David and Grace all revealed that he was being used by the Templars. After Sean described Alice's escape with the manuscript pages, the teenagers felt that something did not line up and spoke to Isaiah about their theory.[3]
They deduced that Alice was smart and took the first steamboat back to America under a pseudonym, and that Tommy was most likely on the ship as well. Intrigued by their hypothesis, Isaiah allowed Sean to jump back into the Animus. Tommy's memories confirmed the teenagers' theory, revealing that after being confronted by Tommy on the ship, Alice jumped into the ocean to avoid capture, killing herself and destroying the manuscript. Isaiah subsequently thanked Sean for his intuition and gave the teens some time off to enjoy themselves, but in private declared that the hunt had only just begun.[3]
