Alan Turing
Alan Turing (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954), was an English mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and computer scientist who is considered the father of computer science.
Turing was an employee of Abstergo Industries and a Templar, and a confidant of fellow Templar John Maynard Keynes.[1] He was directed by his contractors not to actually build a robot, but rather simply fake it for the press: the Templars leading Abstergo feared genuine robots would lead to mass unemployment and a drop in the human birth rate.[1]
Turing chose to ignore this directive.[1] In 1952 the Templars had Turing arrested for gross indecency in an effort to silence him.[1][2] When this failed, the Templars killed Turing on 7 June 1954 and made it appear Turing had killed himself with a cyanide-laced apple.[1][2]
