Things don't seem to be going well for Callum Lynch and Aguilar de Nerha (Michael Fassbender) in these latest images from 20th Century Fox and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed. The images feature another look into what it's like for Callum as a test subject for Abstergo Industries, the multinational corporate conglomerate that is also secretly known as the Templar Order.
It's been confirmed by Ubisoft that the film would tie-in or be considered canon to the video game series. If Callum is under the control of Abstergo as one of their test subjects, which one is he? We know from the video game series that Desmond Miles, the main protagonist, was known as Subject 17 during his time at Abstergo. With the film be considered canon, only one real question remains: Did Abstergo take Callum before or after Desmond joined the Assassins?
