He demanded being taken off this case as he even starts wondering sometimes whether he’s really Arno or not. He also started relating this feeling to being Arno himself reincarnated into his 21st century self as Robert Fraser, similar to how the Sage is in a continuous cycle of reincarnation. Shortly afterwards, Bob started showing more noticeable and physical signs of the Bleeding Effect, shaky hands, overlapping identities, memories and feelings.

Later, Fraser experienced an impossible memory trip as Arno, witnessing locations and events that Arno couldn’t have possibly lived through. There were no people, except Fraser exploring these worlds and memories through Arno’s avatar. He witnessed monuments that could never have existed during Arno’s lifetime such as The Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty during its construction phase. But then the world started to unravel. Bits and pieces fading in and out of existence. And at some point, he heard a woman’s voice, Elise. She was calling to him, yet soon he discovered that it wasn’t her. He also heard music that he recognized in the session, yet he never knew before that, as if this is someone else’s memory.

It can’t be his and it can’t be Arno’s, yet he could still recognize it. Fraser was given a leave of absence due to his obvious signs of dissociation from reality. He later requested reapplication for Project Arno Dorian from Melanie Lemay. He promised to prove his ability to continue to contribute to this project which is certain to be a great hit for Abstergo Entertainment as a game, not as real life. Robert wrote one final diary/letter and his whereabouts and allegiances remain unknown.

However, it is evident from his words that holds a massive grudge against the Templars, as he wanted to avenge his love, Elise. He also mentioned how he knows that they’re after him and Victoria Bibeau. Here’s a transcript of his letter: “I have finished my “assignment.” there is, therefore, no more use for me, Robert Fraser. She’s gone. My Elise is gone—dead, falling the way she always wanted to—in fulfillment of her quest for revenge. I wanted her more than I wanted revenge. But she… She did love me. Does. Did..? I don’t know which tense to use anymore.

“Come back to me,” she once said. Elise, ma cheri (my dear), did you know even then that I would come back? Your lesson lingers with me, like the scent of your perfume on your letter. And that lesson is that it is no hardship to die, if one can be avenged. I know what I was being used to do. What the Animus is really for.

Victoria told me. She told me exactly what I need to get my revenge on the Templars for what they did to Elise. Well, they’ve come for Victoria, and they’ll be coming for me too, soon. But I still can do this. If I were a true Assassin, I’d make use of teh shadows, or hide in plain sight. But I’m just a mid-level employee at an entertainment corporation. Arno managed to outfox both Templar and Assassin.

My act of defiance must be different—and permanent. “Come back to me,” God, Elise, I hear you whisper it even now, I think if I just turn my head quickly enough… I will come to you. But not just yet. When I’ve done all I can, with this feeble brain of Robert Fraser. I’m going back one more time. I know computers and Victoria has told me what to do with—with Arno. I won’t make it out, and that’s all right because I’ll be with you then, mon coeur (my hear). Je t’aime (I love you)”
