Regarding Assassin's Creed....
I haven't played it in a little while, but IIRC, Desmond is a direct descendent of Altair. The machine that they have him lying on apparently places his mind into the memory of Altair, whose own memories were somehow "dug up" from Desmond's mind.
Apparently their (the Dr. and his assistant) theory was that even though Altair has long since passed away, his memories would somehow be passed down genetically through the generations. That is why Desmond was abducted.
It turns out, though, that the fight between the Assassins and the Templars was still going strong in the present, and that the Templars were after a relic of some kind but did not know it's location until Desmond/Altair's memories were completed. The doctor turns out to be a Templar, but the female assistant later gives a hint that she's an Assassin.
