Alan Turing

Alan Turing (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954), was an English mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and computer scientist who is considered the father of computer science.

Turing was an employee of Abstergo Industries, and a confidant of fellow Templar John Maynard Keynes. He was directed by his contractors not to actually build a robot, but rather simply fake it for the press: the Templars leading Abstergo feared genuine robots would lead to mass unemployment and a drop in the human birth rate.

Turing chose to ignore this directive. In 1952 the Templars had Turing arrested for gross indecency in an effort to silence him. When this failed, the Templars killed Turing on 7 June 1954 and made it appear Turing had killed himself with a cyanide-laced apple.
