What is the name of the fictional corporation in Assassin's Creed?

Abstergo Industries is the fictional corporation in Assassin's Creed.

Abstergo is presented as a powerful modern company whose public operations conceal the activities of the Templars. Its name comes from the Latin verb abstergo, meaning “to wipe away” or “to cleanse,” a reference that fits the organization's interest in controlling historical knowledge and human behavior.

The corporation uses the Animus to access genetic memories inherited through descendants. In the early games, Abstergo employee Warren Vidic supervises Desmond Miles's sessions, while later stories show that the company also develops entertainment products based on simulated historical experiences.

Abstergo is not simply a normal technology company within the fiction. It is the modern face of the Templar Order, although its subsidiaries and public image vary across the series. This distinction explains why the corporation repeatedly appears in both present-day plotlines and fictional in-universe media.
