Anjali

You cannot know anything. Only suspect. This article contains content from pre-release sources that may or may not be reflective of canon upon release. This article therefore likely contains spoilers.

Anjali (born c. 1988) is a British Assassin technician and a double agent for the Instruments of the First Will. Exceptionally skilled with technology, Anjali completed his PhD at Imperial College in London before joining the Assassins, who deemed his expertise an invaluable asset. Anjali preferred to operate from the safety of his mobile lab, disguised as a fake food truck, though he is also a skilled field operative.

Biography

In 2016, one of Anjali's programs detected the kidnapping of theater actress Regina Davies through CCTV camera footage and he tracked the kidnappers' jeep to the vicinity of a new Abstergo facility via hacked ANPR cameras. He then informed an Assassin cell, tasking them with the infiltration and saving while providing them assistance from his mobile lab. There, the group found Regina floating in an Animus inserted in a strange containment tube, seemingly unconscious. Anjali hacked into the facility's control system and pieced together that to save the actress from her semi-comatose state, the group would have to enter the simulation and relive the genetic memories with Regina. An arriving military helicopter landing in the courtyard gave the mission further urgency, though Anjali used the security system to delay their arrival.

Behind the scenes

Anjali is an Indian character introduced in the Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game's third supplementary book Forging History. He shares a few similarities with Jasdip Dhami, in that both are Assassins of Indian heritage who secretly work with the Instruments to further their plot of resurrecting Juno.

At the end of the "Lost in Time" campaign, the sourcebook gives a few suggestions on continuing the storyline, one of which includes Anjali's potential fate, suggesting that he could have escaped with data regarding Juno's attempted resurrection and brought it to his mentor. Though his master's identity is left ambiguous and could be an unrelated third party, the book proposes either the Sage Kumar or the Inner Sanctum member Álvaro Gramática, who, if selected, would tie the narrative into the Phoenix Project depicted in the 2017 comic series Assassin's Creed: Uprising.
