Animi Training Program

The Animi Training Program was a secret Templar initiative to train Abstergo Industries employees in combat abilities to fight against the remnants of the Assassin Order by using the Animus, a device created by Abstergo that could have the user relive the genetic memories of their ancestors.

Initiated shortly after the escape of Subject 17 of the original Animus Project, Desmond Miles, the Animi Training Program was launched from Abstergo's facility where dozens of Animi were located. During the first stage of the program, subjects relived the lives of their primarily Italian Templar ancestors during the Renaissance, and used their genetic memories to face off against one another in various types of training.

During the second stage of the project, subjects were transported to ancestors who during around the age of the Ottoman Empire, and more types of training were made available in various locations throughout the and. One subject was eventually promoted to the rank of Master Templar and allowed entry into the Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order, before being assigned to take out the Assassin leader William Miles alongside his fellow Templars.
