Subject 16 (spoilers!)

[Glitch010]

So I haven't seen this anywhere else so I am posting it here.
I noticed that Subject 16 in the Animus looks almost identical to Altair's son in some of the flashback memories. Does anyone else see this?
So I am thinking that Desmond and 16 are related and maybe 16 or Altair's son could be the main character in AC III or whatever they call it!
Someone back me up on this!

I can't say I saw the resemblance you point out on my own, didn't strike me at the time, but it's true they have the exact same mouth and look quite similar.

Here's the Wiki page for Altair's son Darim:
http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki..._Ibn-La%27Ahad

and for Subject 16:
http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Subject_16

and a side by side picture of them:



The wiki says Subject 16 is a "descendant of primordial Adam and Ezio Auditore da Firenze"...not sure where that comes from, same as the name he's given, Clay Kaczmarek...must be one of the novels or other expansion stories. Anyway, it means Desmond and he do share some ancestors.

What caught my eye about him was the symbol on his jacket: looks like an ancient greek building, the Parthenon or something. Since Desmond always wears Eagle symbols, I thought this was a hint about the memories we're likely to explore in a future game. The wiki says "While at Abstergo, Clay relived the lives of his ancestors in the Far East and ancient Africa, as well as one at the Battle of Gettysburg, one in the Roman forum, and one who was connected with Queen Isabella"...again, don't know where that comes from.

I think the second or third to last Altair memory is what really made it stand out for me. And the last one where Altair goes into his library sealed it!
I would love to learn more about 16...he was one of my favorite parts of the games.

Glad I wasn't the only one who caught the resemblance.

As much as it would be nice to think this was an intended resemblance, the cynic in me says it's simple re-use of resources with minimum of effort/cost to make two people look different.

I do wonder where they will go with 16 if anywhere given his more active presence in Revelations.

Didn't 16 get deleted from the animus at the end of Revelations? Maybe they could have more clues or something from him, but I can't see him being a character in the next game since he was "killed off" already. I do wish they'd develop some more story around him though.

Since I still don't see an AC happening in real life (no Animus : no checkpoints, no repeat memory, no synch... basycally no AC) maybe 16 merged his DNA or something with Desmond when he gave him that hug before disappearing. We could play 16's memories in the animus then.

I was thinking more along the lines of him somehow inserting his consciousness into Desmond's because, technically speaking, they both have the same DNA strands concerning Ezio and Altair (hence why he's in the Animus already).

I'm probably thinking a little far ahead here but I get the feeling, sometime when Desmond completes/is doing "what he needs to do" subject 16 is gonna try taking over Desmond's body. This is just speculation since 16 was suggesting going with Desmond and sharing his body until he got his own. Maybe done with the Apple and maybe Lucy's dead body since they can't really leave it lying around as a clue for Abstergo.

All the subjects were assassins so I guess they are related in someway.

Probably not brothers, maybe cousins or second cousins. They could both be from the same Assassin's hideout because if I remember right 16 knew Desmond. He could be roughly 20 years older than him technically and Desmond might not be able to recognize him since he was a kid when he ran away from home.

[xTGMx INF3RNO]

Desmond and 16 r.prob related. But 16 wont be altairs son

[XToastySniperX]

Well, there was one moment where 16 started to go a bit psycho, and said he was tired of being trapped on the island. So, it is possible that at the last second he decided to merge himself into Desmond.

But... There is one thing that goes against this theory. When 16 hugs him, Desmond goes, "What are you doing?!?!"

His reply, "Saving your life!!!" *throws him to safety* So perhaps he was just saying goodbye to him, or leading him away from the danger so he wouldn't be erased/deleted by the Animus.

When is the next one supposed to be comming out, heard they were not making anymore after 2012...with the myans and all lol

[xTGMx INF3RNO]

This. 16 probably saved Desmond, 'cause 16got erased with the rest of the Animus Island (or so it seems), while Desmond regained his consciousness.

However, losing 16 for good would be a shame, and I'd like to see him being a little "dent" in Desmond's very calm, calculated and never-intimidated stance that he usually has - maybe as a second voice in his head, or giving "bleeding effect" hints while you're in Eagle Sense, or something like that.

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say in this post. Can you type out full words/sentences and use better grammar so I understand what you're trying to get across?
