Case Fisher

Case Fisher was an agent employed by Abstergo Industries as the head of their Recovery Unit #3, a team of specialized technicians who located and examined the body of Desmond Miles only hours after his death within the Grand Temple.

In the early hours of 22 December 2012, under Fisher's direction, Recovery Unit #3 performed an autopsy on Desmond's body, determining the time of death to be 0:07 that morning, and the likely cause of death to be "spontaneous burn tramua". He noted that besides Desmond's scorched right arm, the rest of his body was in perfect conditon. After examination, Fisher selected his finest agents to retrieve fluid samples and to extract Desmond's vital organs. These were analyzed and genetically decoded, and submitted as material to be used in Abstergo Entertainment's Sample 17 Project.

Fisher personally examined Desmond's backpack, removing and bagging items of interest that would be analyzed by Abstergo later. These items included Desmond's phone, notebook, and airline tickets.

The following day, Fisher submitted an audio/visual report of his findings to Abstergo, noting that thanks to the work of his team, Desmond's legacy as Subject 17 would live on as "Sample 17". This video would later be discovered by an Abstergo Entertainment research analyst and passed on to the Assassins.
