- "Here's the problem. Your brain is hash. Too many ghosts in your head, too many voices. So how do you fix that?....You claw your way back into the stored data, you finish unfinished business, and you crack them open. Finish what you started, until your ancestor has nothing left to show you. THAT is a synch nexus."
- ―Subject 16 to Desmond[src]
Synch Nexus is the moment achieved when an Animus Subject concludes reliving the genetic memories of an ancestor with nothing left to see or experience.
Known Occurence
- "For now the Animus is keeping you intact. Keeping all of your ancestors from collapsing into one big mess. But if you can't find a synch-nexus, all those personalities will smash together. That won't be pretty."

In the year 2012, after the events following the retrieval of the apple, Desmond Miles fell into a coma after stabbing his fellow Assassin Lucy Stillman under the influence of Juno. Upon being plugged into the Animus and being sent to the Black Room by William Miles, Desmond met the visual representation of Subject 16. Subject 16 eventually told Desmond that the only way to escape from the Animus was to achieve a synch nexus, the complete conclusion of his ancestor's memories.
Desmond then began to relive the later memories of his ancestor Ezio Auditore da Firenze, as he searched for the Masyaf Keys that would, in turn, allow him to relive key moments in Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's life.
Completing the memories of Ezio and Altaïr, Desmond achieved a synch nexus and was pulled into the "Nexus of Time". Once there, Jupiter elaborated on the location of the Grand Temple and the First Disaster. He also charged Desmond with going to the Grand Temple.
After this, Desmond was sent back to the Black Room. The Animus had scheduled Desmond and Subject 16 for deletion. However, at the last moment, 16 pushed Desmond out of harms way and sacrificed himself. Waking up from his coma to find his fellow Assassins Rebecca Crane, Shaun Hastings, and his father, William Miles looking over him, Desmond told them that he knew what they needed to do.
