There isn't much information regarding the character of Anson Peake, the only known fact is that he is the Project Manager for Abstergo Industries, dealing in User Stability and that he is the link between the recruits in Project Legacy and Abstergo Industries. He provides some intel about the overall objective of Project Legacy, helps recruits in case of some problems, and he's the one that provides the news in the Fan Page of the Project.
Anson Peake loves to play Solitaire, considering it a good therapy after a long day. He himself says that he is a skilled player, information that Erudito contradicts. According to Erudito, Anson Peake also has an unconditional love for his cats, owning more than 200 pictures of them.
On the 30th of June 2011, the management of Abstergo Industries announced that Anson Peake had gone missing and asked their recruits for cooperation in case he contacted any of them.[1]

A. Peake: Good morning sir, it would appear that we have a situation. Project Legacy has been compromised. Err… This morning we noticed that a component was installed in the DDS firmware, allowing outside interaction with the recruits.
???: Mr. Peake, what exactly do you mean by interaction?
A. Peake: Err, well, it would seem that some of the new memories have appeared completely out of sequence with our itinerary, originating in the early 16th century and they’re all over Europe, the only binding that ties these memories is the fact that all persons originate from Italy.
???: Can you isolate the source subject?
A. Peake: That's just it. There is no source subject in our records. They are coming from an outside console, they appear to be memories from all across the map, I mean, Paris, Lisbon, Cologne, Moscow, err, Calicut, Constantinople, the locations are just so random.
???: Have the(eee), what do you call them, recruits, been exposed?
A. Peake: No, no, they've yet to been deployed.
???: Are you unable to remove them?
A. Peake: I’m afraid not.
???: Leave it then.
A. Peake: Err, sir, are you certain that's wise?
???: Just continue to monitor the subjects, Mr. Peake, that's what you're paid for. I want the memories decoded as soon as possible.
A. Peake: As you wish sir.

???: You-- You warned me?! You warned me! The hell's that supposed to mean? This is completely unacceptable, Peake! We're going into full lockdown! From now on all information is distributed through me, you understand? Emails, documents, read-outs, the freaking cafeteria menu, everything!
