Plot appearances

Assassin's Creed

Desmond goes to New York and becomes a bartender. He lives under assumed names to protect himself. He uses only cash to hide his true identity, but is eventually tracked down by Abstergo and captured. Once inside Abstergo's facility, Desmond is forced to enter the Animus, a machine that allows him to relive the memories of his ancestors stored in his DNA under the watch of Abstergo scientists Dr. Warren Vidic and Dr. Lucy Stillman. The scientists explain they are searching the memories of Desmond's ancestors, specifically those of Altaïr ibn-La'Ahad, for specific information, which they refuse to disclose. Without much choice, Desmond agrees to help them.
