Erudito is a recurring character or collective of characters in the Assassin's Creed franchise. He was a main character in the Facebook game "Project Legacy", in which he used emails and his legendary hacking skills to keep the player from being confused by the Templars white washing of history and showing the Abstergo recruits in the program the truth. Later, in Brotherhood, Erudito was the person who delivered the email passwords of all of his team mates to Desmond Miles, warning him to stay in the loop, no doubt a reference to the secret double agent in their midst. In Assassin's Creed III, Erudito has gone on a full-scale assault on Abstergo's new online game, trying to hack into it to expose as many secrets and exploits to players as possible.
Hacking Files
Like in Revelations, as the player increases in level, they unlock new Abstergo Industries messages and videos, this time themed around their new public video game instead of being a closed test for Templar trainees like before. Unknown to Abstergo however, Erudito has programmed exploits into each of these files allowing players to unlock his hacked versions of the videos and text, showing players the true face behind the Abstergo mask. Completing these exploits involves doing challenges progressively over the multiplayer games, such as "Earn 25 Multi-Kill bonuses in any Team Mode or Wolfpack" or "Earn 50 ground finish bonuses".
Erudito Points
In an attempt to defeat the traditional Abstergo progression system in the game, Erudtio also created the Eudito Points system, which allows his fellow hackers to purchase a separate currency with real money rather than money earned in-game, allowing players to buy items and customization features at a much faster rate for much lower prices.
