Evan Dean

Evan Dean is an employee at Abstergo Entertainment.

In 2013, Dean was involved in an email chain led by Abstergo's Chief Creative Officer Olivier Garneau regarding potential time periods for exploitation via Animus products. Unlike his colleagues, Dean cynically believed that their paying customers would not care for playing games that did not involve conflict. In a profanity-laced reply, he crudely suggested a number of violent historical periods to potentially explore, such Jack the Ripper's Whitechapel murders, the French Revolution, the American "Wild West", and the rise of Genghis Khan's empire. However, his unprofessional language prompted a terse response from Garneau to "take this offline".

Trivia

• All of the time periods Dean mentioned have been visited in later Assassin's Creed media. Jack the Ripper's murders were explored in the DLC pack of the same name for the 2016 video game Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, the French Revolution was the focus of the 2014 video game Assassin's Creed: Unity, the "Wild West" was featured in the 2015 comic series Assassin's Creed: Assassins, and the rise of the Mongol Empire briefly appeared in the second issue of the 2017 comic series Assassin's Creed: Reflections.
