Revision as of 01:24, 18 September 2025
|
He who increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow. This article contains spoilers, meaning it has information and facts concerning Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Claws of Awaji. If you do not want to know about these events, it is recommended to read on with caution, or not at all. |

The Database is a collection of informative articles that can be accessed by the users of Animus or Helix devices. These articles provide background information on people, locations, items, and events encountered during the exploration of genetic memories. The information presented in the database entries is not always correct however; occasionally, the wrong year is noted for date of birth, such as Vieri de' Pazzi and Duncan Little. Sometimes the entry is updated with new information as the session progresses as with Pearl Attaway, or a new entry is published as with Lambeth Asylum. However, there are instances where the entry is left in error, for example Kára or Abbo Cernuus.
Animus 2.0

The database was introduced in the Animus 2.0, a version of the device created by the Assassin Rebecca Crane. The articles were created by Shaun Hastings and would become available when Desmond Miles happened upon a person or object of interest while exploring Ezio Auditore da Firenze's memories, allowing him to find out more information about the entry's subject. Both Shaun and Rebecca could add comments or details of their own, including mentions of Glyphs and other important items of interest in the database.[1][2]
Most of the files were obtained from Abstergo Industries, as they possessed better and larger archives, which Shaun frequently pointed out, although various databases commonly held incorrect information on birth years. For example, Francesco de' Pazzi and Vieri de' Pazzi, who were father and son, were stated to have an age difference of 10 years.[1][2]
The Animus 2.0 database entries were as listed below.
Animus 2.01
Some of the entries from this version of the Animus were unchanged from its previous incarnation.[2][3][4]

Animus 2.03

The database incorporated into the Animus 2.03 was created by the virtual construct of Clay Kaczmarek, who took over Shaun's role when Desmond fell into a comatose state due to the events in the Colosseum Vault. As with the previous version, database entries became available when Desmond encountered the person, location, or object of interest they were about.[5]

The Lost Archive, which contained some of Clay's own memories, could be accessed via the Animus Island's portals and contained its own database. It kept track of the decipher fragments and letters collected by Desmond while reliving Clay's memories, as well as transcripts of voice logs.[6]
The voice logs became available for viewing only after completing the first memory, and the logs for the decipher fragments and letters by gathering them.[6]

Animus 3.0

The database incorporated into the Animus 3.0 was once more created by Shaun, who would frequently update entries with information learned while Desmond was exploring Haytham Kenway's and Ratonhnhaké:ton's memories. Information on the various tribes of Indigenous peoples was provided by a friend of Shaun, who believed the data was for a presentation. The database also included a folder on animals, describing their behavior and the various tactics that could be used to hunt them. Like the Animus 2.0 database, many files also came from Abstergo's larger records.[7]

Animus Console

The database incorporated into the Animus console was created by Abstergo Entertainment employees. As Liberation was designed to cast the Templars in a more positive light, important information was frequently left out, misrepresented, or outright false. To counteract this, the hacking collective known as Erudito actively worked to re-introduce the truth into the game, allowing the player to view the information from an unbiased perspective. Curiously, the documents collected were found under "Inventory" rather than under "Database".[8]

Animus Omega

While the Abstergo Entertainment employee "Noob" explored Edward Kenway's memories in 2013, they had access to a database incorporated into the Animus Omega that consisted of drafts written by other Abstergo employees. As such, the material within them was subject to change, with people such as Melanie Lemay, Olivier Garneau, and others frequently adding in remarks. There also was another document collection called "My files".[9]
A decade later, the Japanese Templar and doctor Shimazu Sei added a database for her subject and Edward's descendant Noa Kim to read in the Animus while he relived his ancestor's memories in Southeast Asia. The database collected information about the people and locations encountered during Edward's journey, from any historical records that were available.[10]

Aveline de Grandpré, 1784
When Abstergo viewed more of Aveline de Grandpré's memories from later in her life, the "database" consisted of a mere three entries once again using the Animus Omega system.[12]

Identity Project

For Abstergo Entertainment's Identity Project,[13] its database was stylized after a Codex Scroll.[14] Unlike the Sample 17 Project, the entries for the Caribbean had no Abstergo employees' remarks and were unlocked by the public obtaining in-game achievements.[13] The project originally ran on the Mobile Helix Navigator,[15] but it later ran on the Animus Omega. It is unknown why some entries were later removed.[13]

Helix-based Animus Omega
While the Abstergo employee "Numbskull" explored Shay Cormac's genetic memories during the Seven Years' War, they had access to a database incorporated in the Animus Omega through the Helix servers. Like the previous incarnation, there was another collection of files not under "database", but under "My files".[16]

Various databases were available through the Helix navigator. In addition to information about the subjects encountered in the simulation, the database could also collect digital documents collected from outside sources and could be edited from outside the servers,[17] as demonstrated by Shaun Hastings.[18] The Helix navigator database had many iterations with different subject matter depending on the time period simulated and the user.[19][20][21]
Revolutionary France
While the Helix Initiate explored the memories of Arno Dorian during the French Revolution[17] and its immediate aftermath in Saint-Denis,[22] the database had four main categories—Case files, People, Locations, and Misc—with all but the first category having subcategories, as seen below.

While the Helix Initiate explored the memories of Evie and Jacob Frye during the Victorian era, as well as Jacob's granddaughter Lydia during World War I, the database consisted of five categories: People, Locations, Collectibles, Present Day, and Miscellaneous, with many subcategories as seen below.[23] The categories remained the same when the Initiate ventured into both Evie and Jack the Ripper's memories during the Whitechapel murders of 1888.[24]

When Layla Hassan used her modified Animus HR-8.5 to explore the life of the Raven Clan member Eivor Varinsdottir during the Viking expansion, she had access to a database referred to as the "Codex". Like past iterations, it was written by Shaun Hastings and also offered user-friendly Animus tutorials to help navigate the simulation.[26]

Basim Ibn Ishaq's memories

When William Miles had Basim Ibn Ishaq's memories from his time in the Abbasid Caliphate's capital of Baghdad examined from his blood sample,[26] the Assassins had access to a "Codex" with a general-purpose database and another focused on the history of Baghdad.[27]

Animus EGO

While a user interfaced with the Animus EGO that granted access to multiple memory streams, they also had access to a general-purpose database that Abstergo called the "Vault",[29] though this was separate from the "Codex" accessible while reliving Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke's memories in Sengoku era Japan.

Initiates
- Main article: Initiates Database
After the Second Disaster was averted on 21 December 2012, the hacker group Initiates began compiling database entries covering information known by the Assassins and Templars.[30]
Rebellion
- Main article: Rebellion
Abstergo Entertainment's product Rebellion did not have a database section like their original title Liberation. Although a section existed that sought to shed light on the background of some of the characters, it was marked as "Bios".[31]
Behind the scenes
Later entries in the series refer to this feature as the Codex. This is a misnomer as a codex technically refers to a style of compiling manuscript pages bound along one edge, as in modern physical books, replacing the earlier rolled scroll format. As such a codex is an analogue method of storing information.
