#while they're dancing to the whims of the inner sanctum

[teecupangel]

Since I have a balance complex, !unnamed employee bleeds with quite a lot of templars over the course of their career under abstergo, (they are a corporation and are all too willing to cut corners) producing the most effective templar/assassin hunter maybe ever, as a cost for Desmond getting to live.

We can do this to a canon character, if you’d like.

As far as we know, Numbskull is still working for Abstergo and is, for all intent and purposes, a Templar.

Not only that, they already started with Shay Cormac’s memories, a well known Assassin hunter. So we can just keep it coming.

They still had records of Subject 17’s genetic memories which can be used to let them relive Haytham Kenway’s memories next although Berg might say no to that because of how Haytham Kenway’s life ended. It might be too risky to have them get Haytham’s Bleed as they may become ‘affected’ by Desmond Miles.

And that’s the reason why they’re making other people relive the memories of past Templars.

Because Desmond Miles’ continuous appearances were slowly destroying the Templars’ foothold.

Sure, his methods may be old school (sabotage, assassination, the occasional arson) but it was working. He was known as a terrorist but no one could track him down because of the boons he received from both his Bleeds and the Apple currently under his possession.

No one in the Inner Circle even knew that the Apple could be used the way he did.

So Numbskull becomes one of the ‘test subjects’.

And the only one to survive.

Other than Shay Cormac, they decide to have them relive Robert de Sablé’s memories.

It was still pending if they should have them relive a Borgia and which one, Rodrigo or Cesare?

Other possible Templars for them to Bled as:

one of the Sengoku Period Templars for their martial and military prowess, either Mochizuki Chiyome as the leader of a band of highly skilled kunoichi or Uesugi Kenshin, known as the Dragon oe Echigo (also could double as Abstergo’s bet in finding a Sword of Eden). Of course, depending on when this is, we can also go for Shimazu Saito for a closer connection (and maybe get Shimazu Sei as part of this project)

Vali cel Tradat, an Assassin turned Templar that they should have records of using Ezio’s memories

Micheletto Corella instead of one of the Borgias because he is a trained Assassin.

Élise de la Serre, trained to be a Templar at such a young age and a capable one during her time, Abstergo higher ups might question this considering her relationship with an Assassin (also… if they can find enough DNA of her to use)

Lucy Thorne for both her intelligent and strength… as well as her tenacity.
