John F. Kennedy
John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917 – 1963), also known as "Jack" and often abbreviated as "JFK", was the 35th President of the United States.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Kennedy was a supporter of equal rights for all races at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, including the ubiquitous right to vote.[1] He also proposed a joint venture to the Moon with the Soviet Union as part of the Apollo program during the early 1960s, despite the hostile mood of East-West relations at the time.[2] Though initially a pawn of the Templars,[3] both of these events marked him as an enemy of the Order and Abstergo Industries, who plotted his assassination.[1]
The CIA director and Assassin William King Harvey, who was secretly a double agent for the Templars, manipulated Boris Pash and his extremist Bloodstone Unit into carrying out the assassination,[3] while the Templar sleeper agent[4] Lee Harvey Oswald would be publicly framed as the gunman.[1] William Greer, a member of the Bloodstone Unit and Secret Service agent,[3] was tasked with stealing the Apple of Eden that had been passed down to Kennedy from previous presidents, and received special training from Abstergo using another Apple in their possession.[1]
On 22 November 1963, while Kennedy was being driven through Dallas, Texas, Assassins from the Bloodstone Unit killed him, coordinating the attack in such a manner to frame Oswald. Greer, who served as the president's driver, quickly grabbed his Apple of Eden in the resulting confusion,[3] while the Templars used yet another Apple to make a "phantom" on a nearby hill, creating further commotion.[1]
As Greer attempted to flee with the Apple, he was stopped by fellow Assassin Alekseï Gavrani, who wanted to disrupt Boris Pash's plans. He stole the Apple from Greer and brought it to William King Harvey, unaware of the latter's true affiliations.[3] That same day, Kennedy's Vice President and secret Templar Lyndon B. Johnson was initiated as President of the United States. During Johnson's presidency, the Templars finally used the Apollo program to reach the Moon and retrieve an Apple of Eden from its surface.[1]
