History

Utilising the Assassins

John was, at some point, approached by two Assassins - Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane - in order to infiltrate Abstergo Entertainment and gain access to its servers, in the hopes of uncovering information regarding the fate of Desmond Miles' body following the events in the Grand Temple. John took advantage of this opportunity and eagerly set about using the Assassins to gain him access to the building, so that he could affect his own plan to reincarnate Juno, the former wife of his past incarnation.

Over the first few weeks of his employment John asked a number of different researchers for "favours", but was repeatedly rebuked by them. Eventually, on October 29, a new research analyst joined the company, and became the first to agree to help John. He first spoke with the analyst over the company-issued earpiece, giving the employee varying levels of security clearance in order to access the Abstergo mainframe and download files, he then tasked the analyst with delivering the files to Rebecca Crane, who would be waiting in the building's main lobby disguised as a courier.

Eventually, after several repeated hackings, Abstergo began to suspect the research analyst and placed the entire research team under isolation. John, not wanting to lose his proxy, promised Melanie Lemay, the acting head of the Sample 17 Project, that he would positively identify the the hacker, while at the same time directing the analyst to Abstergo's cloud server, ostensibly in order to wipe away any evidence of their wrongdoing.

Listening in over the earpiece, John waited patiently as his plan for Juno to possess the analyst body failed; Juno was not yet strong enough to possess a host, existing only in a state capable of occupying various information networks across the globe. Realizing his plan had failed, John became enraged, screaming down the comm-link as the analyst returned to the Animus.

Shortly thereafter, as the analyst finished their work with Edward Kenway's memories, John injected a powerful poison into their bloodstream, in the hopes of weakening them enough to allow Juno to assume control of the body.

Meeting face to face with the analyst for the first time, he revealed himself to be a Sage –a reincarnation of Aita, of the members of the First Civilization.

By this time, Abstergo had come to take the research analyst into custody, but found themselves locked out of the room by John. As John revealed his motives to the research analyst, the security team managed to force their way in. After he made movements to fire upon the security guards, they were forced to eliminate him. John's actions subsequently convinced Melanie that he had been solely responsible for the hacks.

Trivia

  • John could be seen wearing a portrait necklace, depicting a visage of a woman, identical to the one worn by one of Aita's previous reincarnations; Bartholomew Roberts.
