The Surrogate Initiative was Abstergo Industries' first attempt at exploring the genetic memory of an individual through a different different subject, using Warren Vidic's Animus technology. The project lasted from 1980 to 1981.

Spearheaded by Project Director Aileen Bock, the Surrogate Initiative borrowed its first genetic memory sample from Bock's son Seamus. Using herself as the subject, Bock explored the memories of Miriam Kurtz, her ex-husband's mother and a Navajo woman during World War II.

Wanting his Animus Project to stay ahead of the Surrogate Initiave, Warren Vidic wire-tapped Bock's office to record the Surrogate Initiative sessions.
