Blowing the lid off the Ubiverse conspiracy

[Administrator]

It all starts with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
The game's sort-of villain, Olivier Garneau, disappears around halfway through a trip to meet with shareholders in Chicago, as you learn from emails. The character is never heard from again. As villain arcs go, it's disorienting in its mundanity. Olivier is the boss of Abstergo Entertainment, the video game publishing arm of a vast Templar conspiracy designed to crush freedom of thought in the pursuit of order. He's far too nice to not be sinister. He's a bad man. And then, he just disappears.
(Shadowy regimes are good at 'unexplained disappearances' - see also Agatha Christie, Brendan Fraser.)
