The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States and its principal federal law enforcement agency. An agency of the United States Department of Justice, the FBI is a member of the U.S. Intelligence Community and reports to both the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence.[3] A leading U.S. counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigative organization, the FBI has jurisdiction over violations of more than 200 categories of federal crimes.[4][5] Although many of the FBI's functions are unique, its activities in support of national security are comparable to those of the British MI5 and NCA, the New Zealand GCSB and the Russian FSB. Unlike the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which has no law enforcement authority and is focused on intelligence collection abroad, the FBI is primarily a domestic agency, maintaining 56 field offices in major cities throughout the United States, and more than 400 resident agencies in smaller cities and areas across the nation. At an FBI field office, a senior-level FBI officer concurrently serves as the representative of the director of national intelligence.[6][7] Despite its domestic focus, the FBI also maintains a significant international footprint, operating 60 Legal Attache (LEGAT) offices and 15 sub-offices in U.S. embassies and consulates across the globe. These foreign offices exist primarily for the purpose of coordination with foreign security services and do not usually conduct unilateral operations in the host countries.[8] The FBI can and does at times carry out secret activities overseas,[9] just as the CIA has a limited domestic function. These activities generally require coordination across government agencies. The FBI was established in 1908 as the Bureau of Investigation, the BOI or BI for short. Its name was changed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1935.[10] The FBI headquarters is the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C. The FBI has a List of the Top 10 criminals.

Any individuals who join the Assassins or Templars in several ways to participate in their secret, global war spanning human history. The outsiders can be recruited if they align with the faction's ideology or prove their worth. Wherever if some or most people join the Assassin Brotherhood or the Templar Order as part of a secret global elite controlling human history in the change of course of the events. In modern times, the ceremony is less formal, but still involves an oath to the Order's principles. Individuals are often recruited based on their skills and alignment with the cause of preserving free will. The Templars operate primarily through the mega-corporation Abstergo Industries, which was officially founded in 1937. Recruitment often happens within Abstergo's ranks, with individuals being chosen for their abilities and adherence to the Templar philosophy of a "New World Order" controlled for humanity's own good. Historical figures like Henry Ford and Ransom E. Olds were influential Templars who helped build the economic and industrial foundation that led to Abstergo's creation.
