Animi Training Program
The Animi Training Program was a secret Templar initiative to train Abstergo Industries employees in the skills they needed to fight against the remnants of the Assassin Order, such as combat and free-running, through the use of the Animus, a device created by Abstergo that could allow a person to relive the genetic memories of their ancestors.[1]
Initiated shortly after the escape of Subject 17 of the original Animus Project, Desmond Miles, the Animi Training Program was conducted at Abstergo's campus in Rome where dozens of Animi were located. During the first stage of the program, subjects relived the lives of notable Italian Templars and non-Assassins during the Renaissance, and used their genetic memories to face off against one another in various types of virtual training.[1]
During the second stage of the project, subjects were transposed onto individuals who lived during the age of the Ottoman Empire (though the memories of one Templar came from the High Middle Ages), and more types of training were made available in various locations throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East. One recruit was eventually promoted to the rank of Master Templar and allowed entry into the Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order, before being assigned to take out the Assassin leader William Miles alongside his fellow Templars.[2]
