Officially founded in 1937, Abstergo Industries was actually one small part of the Templar scheme to control the world through capitalism and scientific progress. Abstergo's origins lie in the perfection of the assembly line by Templar leaders [[Henry Ford]] and [[Ransom Eli Olds|Ransom "Ranny" Olds]] at the turn of the 20th century. The assembly line was an early means to control both workers and the capitalists who employed them, and it represented the first step in the Templar goal to subjugate the world through economics.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - Rifts"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' - [[Rifts]]</ref> | |||
In 1910, Templar leaders, including Ford and Olds, formulated the "[[World War II|Plan]]." This Plan combined economics, politics, and military conflict as a means to make the world safe for Templar rule. The defeat of Communism was a key part of the Plan, as it represented both an ideological and economic threat to the success of the Templar world vision. | |||
In 1937, the formulators of the Plan, as well as fellow Templar and President of the [[United States]] [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], established Abstergo Industries as a front for their activities, and as a means to accumulate wealth and accelerate scientific progress. Largely anonymous, Abstergo leadership claimed their duty was to "shepherd those beneath us through life, even if force is required."<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - Rifts"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' - [[Rifts]]</ref> | |||
During World War II, Abstergo remained quiet, but kept track of the progress made abroad by Templar members "H" and "S" ([[Adolf Hitler]] and [[Joseph Stalin]]). At home, Abstergo and other Templar-controlled corporations ceded rights to its workers and their labor unions, but only as a means to tie the people closer to the Templar capitalist vision. By 1944, Abstergo and the Templars were prepared for the inevitable postwar era, an era where they would "ensure the development continues in the proper direction."<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - Rifts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' - [[Rifts]]</ref> | |||

Abroad, Abstergo involved itself in foreign governments to insure the spread of capitalism and Templar control. In 1953, Abstergo agents backed monarch [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi|Shah Pahlavi]], Tehran strongman [[Sha'baan Ja'fari]], and the National Intelligence and Security Organization, otherwise known as [[SAVAK]], against the democratically elected Prime Minister [[Mohammad Mosaddegh]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - Rifts"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' - [[Rifts]]</ref> Abstergo and the Shah removed Mosaddegh from power and placed him under house arrest.

Abstergo's influence spread beyond the bounds of the Earth, as it helped establish and fund the [[NASA|National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] in 1958. Ostensibly, NASA was a civilian branch of the U.S. government, but in reality it was tasked with producing new space-going technologies for Abstergo and Templar use. When the Templars became aware of the existence of a [[Piece of Eden|Fifth Apple]] on the Moon, it tasked NASA with working towards a mission to land on the Moon and retrieve the artifact. When President [[John F. Kennedy]] planned a joint lunar landing with the [[Russia|Soviet Union]], the Templars decided to [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|remove Kennedy]] from power. Kennedy's successors, [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] and Richard Nixon (both Templars), continued the push towards the Moon.

In Chile, Abstergo planned to open up the markets and force the sale of all public companies to the private sector.

By the final decades of the 20th century, Abstergo emerged from the shadows as a powerful corporation leading the way in pharmaceuticals, though it also engaged in research in other fields, such as communications.

Abstergo Industries is one of the largest and most prominent multinational corporations of the modern era, serving as the primary front for the Templar Order. Outwardly labeled primarily as a pharmaceutical development company, Abstergo Industries, or its predecessors, have been responsible for the majority of human technological development for the past millennia.
Despite genuinely contributing to the technological development of society, Abstergo Industries' primary mission, as dictated by its Templar members, "is the destruction of the Assassin Order, the procurement of advanced technologies originally created by the First Civilization, and establishing a New World Order."
As of the year 2012, Abstergo Industries had come under investigation by the United States Government for the "New Fluoride" experiment and was due to have its accounts frozen, prompting the company to hasten their planned EYE-ABSTERGO Satellite launch.
History
The Plan
Officially founded in 1937, Abstergo Industries was actually one small part of the Templar scheme to control the world through capitalism and scientific progress. Abstergo's origins lie in the perfection of the assembly line by Templar leaders Henry Ford and Ransom "Ranny" Olds at the turn of the 20th century. The assembly line was an early means to control both workers and the capitalists who employed them, and it represented the first step in the Templar goal to subjugate the world through economics.[1]
In 1910, Templar leaders, including Ford and Olds, formulated the "Plan." This Plan combined economics, politics, and military conflict as a means to make the world safe for Templar rule. The defeat of Communism was a key part of the Plan, as it represented both an ideological and economic threat to the success of the Templar world vision.
In 1937, the formulators of the Plan, as well as fellow Templar and President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt, established Abstergo Industries as a front for their activities, and as a means to accumulate wealth and accelerate scientific progress. Largely anonymous, Abstergo leadership claimed their duty was to "shepherd those beneath us through life, even if force is required."[1]
During World War II, Abstergo remained quiet, but kept track of the progress made abroad by Templar members "H" and "S" (Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin). At home, Abstergo and other Templar-controlled corporations ceded rights to its workers and their labor unions, but only as a means to tie the people closer to the Templar capitalist vision. By 1944, Abstergo and the Templars were prepared for the inevitable postwar era, an era where they would "ensure the development continues in the proper direction."[1]
Postwar Domination
Following the war, Abstergo controlled global economic and technological development, though it always remained behind the scenes. In 1948, Abstergo eliminated former Templar and renowned economist Harry Dexter White.[1] White helped organize the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, two organizations that allowed the Templars to spread their capitalist world vision. However, White was also passing information to the Communists, and for this betrayal, Abstergo killed White and made it look like a heart attack.
Abstergo was also responsible for British mathematician Alan Turing's criminal prosecution and possibly his death. In a phone recording dating to June 1954, two Templars known only by the initials "V" and "N" mentioned the need for Turing to be killed. They feared "mass unemployment" if the mathematician successfully developed robots, and such an invention would threaten the progress of the Plan.[1]
Abroad, Abstergo involved itself in foreign governments to insure the spread of capitalism and Templar control. In 1953, Abstergo agents backed monarch Shah Pahlavi, Tehran strongman Sha'baan Ja'fari, and the National Intelligence and Security Organization, otherwise known as SAVAK, against the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh.[1] Abstergo and the Shah removed Mosaddegh from power and placed him under house arrest. Mosaddegh died in his home in 1967.
Internal memos stolen from Abstergo in 2012 implicated the corporation's involvement in the 1954 overthrow of Guatemala's socialist President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán and installation of Carlos Castillo Armas as his replacement.[1] In both instances, Abstergo worked through the CIA, a branch of the U.S. intelligence community it had controlled since its inception.
Abstergo's influence spread beyond the bounds of the Earth, as it helped establish and fund the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1958. Ostensibly, NASA was a civilian branch of the U.S. government, but in reality it was tasked with producing new space-going technologies for Abstergo and Templar use. When the Templars became aware of the existence of a Fifth Apple on the Moon, it tasked NASA with working towards a mission to land on the Moon and retrieve the artifact. When President John F. Kennedy planned a joint lunar landing with the Soviet Union, the Templars decided to remove Kennedy from power. Kennedy's successors, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon (both Templars), continued the push towards the Moon. In July 1969, Templar agents Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on Moon and retrieved the Piece of Eden.[2]

At the end of the 20th century, the Animus Program's Subject 4, given the codename “Daniel Cross,” infiltrated the Assassin Order as a sleeper agent and successfully attacked and killed their head, the Mentor.

Subject 17 successfully survived the rigors of the Animus and was able to provide Abstergo with the locations of the remaining Pieces of Eden, though he escaped soon after.[3]
Repeated attempts to reacquire Subject 17 have to date remained unsuccessful.[5] Recently, Abstergo sent its top recruits and Daniel Cross to eliminate Subject 17 and the de facto head of the Assassin Order, William Miles.[6]
Goals
As the greatest industrial force the Templars own, Abstergo shares the same beliefs as the Templars; order and discipline through power and control. Since the Third Crusade, the Templars started realizing the power the Pieces of Eden had over humans, and thus began searching for them. In Modern Times they have used numerous subjects from the Animus project to access the memories of their ancestors to get a hold of a map of these artifacts. This goal later formed into total control, and possession of all Pieces of Eden.
Their goals have changed as they have sought control to unify the entire world using these artifacts, going from "lasting peace, no matter what the cost" to the "New World Order". To accomplish this, they had to reach their ultimate goal; launching a Piece of Eden into orbit around Earth.
Known employees
The vast majority of Abstergo's employees are not Templars, including its scientists, enginners and CEOs. Abstergo also has hundreds of spies in other companies around the world. Among them include sleeper agents.[7]

- ―An Abstergo employee e-mailing Warren V. about the Fluoride failure.[src]
Abstergo is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, with their primary focus being anti-depressants. Desmond Miles first saw the word, "Abstergo", on a bottle of ibuprofen whilst he was still living on The Farm: according to his mother, "The average American household contains three dozen Abstergo-owned products at any given moment. If you tried to purge them from your life completely, it would be a full-time job."[9]
It was also stated in an e-mail to Warren Vidic, that Abstergo was secretly experimenting their products on people, and that one of their experiments had failed, poisoning an entire town. Information about this incident had partly been leaked, causing the whole pharmaceutical division of the company to be closed down for investigation. The product Abstergo was experimenting with was named "New Fluoride".
Vidic also told Clay Kaczmarek that Abstergo owned an entertainment studio.[10]
Sophia Project
The Sophia Project studies cellular information and the means by which information is passed genetically. The end goal is to be able to manipulate genetic information for medical purposes.[7]
Animus Project(s)
- Main article: Animus Project
Abstergo began their Animus project in September 1985, with Dr. Warren Vidic as the head of the project.[6] The Project initially relied on psychoanalysis, hypnosis and chemicals to unlock genetic memories in their subjects. That all changed with the invention of the Animus, which enabled subjects to synchronize with their ancestors' memories in a virtual reality environment.[7]
The Lineage Research and Acquisition acquires subjects to farm memories. Project Legacy was started for Abstergo recruits to decode the memories without requiring a descendant to lie in the Animus. However, it was put on hold after the individual or group known as Erudito began hacking into the Project and giving recruits memories Abstergo did not want them to see.[7]
The Animi Training Program was launched in 2012 to train recruits into becoming lethal agents, by having them synchronize with the skills of great Templar agents from centuries ago.
Archeology
Abstergo know of the First Civilization, and the Pieces of Eden. However, they have only discovered a few of the locations of vaults, and are unaware of how to access the information archive within them.[7]
Akashic Satellite Plexus
The Akashic Satellite Plexus was launched in 2008. On the surface, it is a collection of communications, weather and observation satellites. On December 21, 2012, Abstergo intends to launch its cornerstone, the Eye-Abstergo satellite, which shall amplify the powers of an Apple of Eden. Though the Assassins believe Abstergo will use it to control the world, this is denied in their internal documents for their top agents. Emphasis is placed on the ASP becoming able to locate "individuals with potential". The ASP is heavily shielded and is presumabed to be operational in the face of even the worst predicted solar flares.[7]
Trivia
- Abstergo is a Latin verb, meaning "I cleanse."
- In the Truth file regarding Apollo, scanning the American flag on the Eagle shows the Abstergo logo, suggesting that Abstergo Industries was behind the moon landings. Similarly, scanning the white flag planted on the moon reveals the Templar cross.
- During Ezio Auditore da Firenze's visit to the vault, the Abstergo logo can be seen on several images projected by Minerva.
- During the retrieval of the Apple, when Desmond activated the Apple of Eden, several symbols started to appear around him. Of the symbols that appeared, the Abstergo logo is one that appears quite frequently.
- In the concept art for the Vault, what looks like the Abstergo logo can be seen on the floor of the circular room in which Ezio fights Rodrigo.
- Abstergo's Animi room has a wall with a large window in the shape of the Templar cross.
- Abstergo has a Twitter page for Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy.[11]
- The multiplayer mode of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations is played from the point of view of Abstergo employees undergoing training in the Animi.
- In the game Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles, the Abstergo logo is present in many forms throughout the games.
- The Abstergo logo symbolizes the Penrose Triangle, first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd, who described the triangle as "impossibility in it's purest form".
