Abstergo Industries
- "We change the world. Every day, in a hundred different ways."
- ―Warren Vidic to Desmond Miles regarding Abstergo.[src]
Abstergo Industries is one of the largest and most prominent multinational corporations of the modern era, serving as the primary front for the Templar Order. Outwardly labeled primarily as a pharmaceutical development company, Abstergo Industries, or its predecessors, have been responsible for the majority of human technological development for the past millennia.
Despite genuinely contributing to the technological development of society, Abstergo Industries' primary mission, as dictated by its Templar members, "is the destruction of the Assassin Order, the procurement of advanced technologies originally created by the First Civilization, and establishing a New World Order."
As of the year 2012, Abstergo Industries had come under investigation by the United States Government for the "New Fluoride" experiment and was due to have its accounts frozen, prompting the company to hasten their planned EYE-ABSTERGO Satellite launch.
History
The Plan
It is known that Abstergo's founders designed the "Plan" in 1910. Abstergo also brought up the Communists and said it was their duty to neutralize them and their followers.[1] Abstergo was founded in 1937, but until the last decades of the 20th century, it was a largely anonymous and shadowy corporation.[2]
Assembly lines
On July 22, 1944, an unknown member of the company sent out a memo to fellow members, mentioning using the assembly line to control both capitalists and workers, and acccredited Ransom "Ranny" Olds and Henry Ford for its creation.[1] The memo went on to later state that Abstergo hoped that they would not have to use such "ugly chains" in the future.
The memo later elaborated on Abstergo's goals, stating to that their duty was to "shepherd those beneath us through life, even if force is required".[1]
The memo also mentioned Templars known only by the initials "H" and "S" (Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin) who brought on the "turmoil and fear". Towards the end of this memo, they brought up the "successful ruse of Rockefeller's dimes".[1]
Creation of the computer
Abstergo was responsible for British mathematician Alan Turing's criminal prosecution and possibly his death. In a phone recording dating to June 1954, two Templars only known by the initials "V" and "N" mention the need for Turing to be arrested.[1]
They feared "mass unemployment" if the mathematician did end up creating a computer.[1] The two men also mentioned American economist and senior U.S. Treasury Department official Harry Dexter White.[1]
Apollo 11
Images shown that there was an Apple of Eden on the Moon, the picture being subtitled: "With Jack deep underground, it was easy." - "Jack" being former American President John Fitzgerald Kennedy; his nickname being Jack. "Deep underground" refers to his planned assassination in 1963, as where "it was easy", references the 1969 Moon landing to retrieve the Apple.
Kennedy's assassination was plotted by the Templars after they learned he had planned to do a joint moon landing with the Soviet Union. However, the Templars also knew that one of the artifacts was hidden on the Moon, and thus murdered Kennedy, went on with the moon project and assigned a Templar, Richard Nixon, for presidency, to recover the Piece of Eden in 1969.[3]
Global International Order
- "The price of bread and other staples must rise, therefore ensuring that the Chilean people remain in poverty, unable to resist."

Abstergo involved itself in the economic and political affairs of Iran, Argentina, and Chile. A memo on the subject of South America stated that "to ensure company's success, company agents must be able to move freely from country to country and maintain power within all of them. A global international order must be implemented".[1]
In Argentina, the memo told members to inform capitalists that if they helped ensure that the Junta stayed in power, Abstergo would pass all of their corporate debt onto the Argentinian people, thus quelling any attempts of a rebellion.[1]
The memo also added that Abstergo wanted Argentinian trade unions to be destroyed. The actions of Abstergo likely contributed to the disappearance of at least 30,000 Argentinian people in the 1970s.[1]
