Project Horus

Project Horus was an Abstergo Industries operation led by Laetitia England, and later William McCoy, to obtain the eyeball and so the genetic memories of the Assassin Jonathan Hawk to eventually relive these memories by transfering the DNA into that of the subject, Mike.

In October 2012, the Templar agent Vernon Hest was tasked to retrieve the eyeball. Hest attended a secret meeting in a hotel in Cairo concerning the eye and eliminated his contact during the price negotiations for the information regarding Hawk's eye. Hest then contacted Laetitia to bring word of his succes and waited for further instructions.

Some time later, Hest was informed that he was put off the project due to new information regarding the Scepter of Aset, for which Hest was now responsible of finding it.

With the eyeball now in Templar hands, Abstergo was able to transfer Hawk's DNA into that of another person. Led by the scientist William McCoy, the DNA was transplanted into the genotype of Mike; a test subject with incredibly flexible DNA. The DNA transfer was successful and Abstergo was able to view the genetic memories of their enemy, through Mike.
