'Watch Dogs' Easter Egg: 'Assassin's Creed 4' Character Spotted In Criminal Convoy Mission

Ubisoft is starting to make its very own universe of characters, and some games leak into others all the time. They've had a lot of fun with their latest release Watch Dogs, including a cameo from an unexpected player from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

In Watch Dogs you'll find many missions that see you going up against Criminal Convoys. They're really fun missions- they allow you to plot and plan for vehicle convoys that are coming along a set path through the city. To stop them you can set IEDs, use the city's infrastructure to rupture underground steam pipes, or simply crash into them with a vehicle and go on an all-out assault on them to stop it. You generally have to keep the target alive, however, so it's a good idea to take the security detail out first before dealing with the target.

Titled 'Requiescat In Pace', the particular mission sees you hunting down Olivier Garneau, the CEO of Abstergo Entertainment from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. "Oliver Garneau," Aiden Pearce texts Garneau at the start of the mission, who replies with a started "Who is this??"

"Welcome to Chicago and... Requiescat In Pace," he texts.

"This guy's involved in some heavy shit--patented genomes, genetic memory manipulation, sketchy pharmaceuticals," Aiden Pearce comments, and thus sets Garneau on his panicked run through the city. After taking him and his convoy out you can check his unconcious body with your cell phone profiler, where it reveals his name, age (he's 20?), and occupation as CEO. It also says that he's been "Targeted by the Brotherhood".
