| This article is about the Abstergo Entertainment employee. You may be looking for another John. |
John (unknown – 2013) was an IT technician working for Abstergo Entertainment, a subsidiary of Abstergo Industries.
He secretly worked in association with Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane, in order to gain access to Abstergo Entertainment and its servers, using an analyst working on the Sample 17 Project to do so.
When Abstergo got wise to a hacker in the building, they put the analyst team on lockdown. John took the initiative, promising Melanie Lemay to find the hacker, while directing the analyst to Abstergo's cloud server to wipe away any evidence of their wrongdoing.
At the same time, John intended for Juno to possess the analyst, only for the attempt to fail, as Juno was not strong enough to possess a host. John became enraged, screaming down the comm-link as the analyst returned to the Animus.
Just as the analyst finished with Edward Kenway's memories, John injected a powerful poison into their bloodstream, in the hopes of weakening them enough to allow Juno to possess the body.
Meeting face to face with the analyst for the first time, he revealed himself to be a Sage – looking exactly the same as Bartholomew Roberts – a reincarnation of Aita, one of the members of the First Civilization and the husband of Juno.
At this moment, Abstergo's security guards entered the room and killed the Sage before he could further weaken the analyst. John's actions subsequently convinced Melanie that he had been solely responsible for the hackings.
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.
