Assassins creed why does lucy die

There, Lucy told Desmond that she intended to have him train to be an Assassin, using the Animus 2. As they entered the main room, Lucy's fellow Assassins, Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane, introduced themselves to Desmond and began preparations for the sessions.

Later that day, Lucy evaluated Desmond's progress by tasking him with setting up the security system. In between sessions, they also discussed issues such as the Templars and the status of other Assassin teams.

After Desmond had discovered the Vault in Rome through Ezio's memories, the alarm went off as Abstergo invaded their hideout. When they encountered Warren Vidic in the warehouse, he reminded Lucy that he had saved her life, before sending some Abstergo guards to try and incapacitate them. However, both Lucy and Desmond engaged in a fight with the guards, quickly defeating them. With little defense left, Warren climbed into the back of a truck, stating that the attack was only the beginning, before fleeing the hideout.

As Desmond started to go after him, Lucy stopped him and said that they would eventually bring Warren to justice for what he had done, and that Abstergo would surely be back with reinforcements if they did not leave. Following this, Lucy and the others evacuated the hideout, [3] though not before Lucy left behind several important updates on what they had discovered from Desmond, for Warren to find later on. The Assassins left in a van to hide in the mountains, and Desmond prepared to enter the Animus again to continue their search for clues.

Meanwhile, Lucy continued to study the session notes to try to figure out what the message Desmond had received from the "goddess" Minerva had meant, telling Desmond that everything she had feared was starting to happen. After a long drive, the Assassins finally arrived in modern-day Monteriggioni on 16 September, setting up their new hideout in the Sanctuary underneath the Villa Auditore. Lucy and Desmond opened the door to the Sanctuary by passing through the underground sewers and tunnels.

As Desmond continued to relive Ezio's memories, he eventually discovered another message from Clay Kaczmarek. Clay warned Desmond that "she is not who you think she is" and everything he wanted "was already gone". He instructed Desmond to find Eve and Eden , though Desmond was not able to fully understand what Clay meant.

At this time, Lucy monitored Desmond's condition alongside the other two Assassins, but began to grow concerned that the Animus was having too great a toll on him.

Warren replied to her through e-mail - while posing as William Miles - to not fail them now, as they had been waiting nearly a decade to get their hands on a Piece of Eden. On October 10, , the team left to retrieve it.

As soon as Desmond reached the Apple within the vault, Juno, who was aware of Lucy's true allegiance, took control of Desmond's body and warned him that "the cross darkens the horizon". Desmond was then forced to stab Lucy in the stomach with his Hidden Blade, killing her. These events put Desmond under a great deal of emotional stress, and he fell into a coma as a result; [4] Desmond would later elaborate to the rest of his team that when Juno forcefully influenced him through the Apple, he had brief visions of Lucy's acquisition of the artifact and its ramifications.

He also stated that he could have fought Juno's hold on him but upon seeing the visions, he was reluctantly compelled to stop Lucy at any cost. Shortly thereafter, Lucy was buried in a small cemetery in Marino, Italy.

William admitted that he honestly could not guess, though he cautioned against believing her sincerity, saying that even he had believed Daniel Cross , who had betrayed the Assassin Order twelve years prior.

Years later, in , the Assassins used a camera drone named Lucy during Shaun and Rebecca's London operations. In contrast to Warren Vidic's personality, Lucy was a warm and appreciative individual with a bright personality. She always lent encouraging words and sympathy to Desmond, though this often annoyed him. On a few occasions, when Warren attempted to force Desmond to go deeper into the Animus memory, Lucy stopped him from doing so, and pleaded with him to allow Desmond to rest, as forcing Desmond to continue would cause more harm than good.

However, it appeared that after Lucy left the Assassin Order, she became much more jaded and disheartened by the world. In a letter to Clay, she explained that William Miles was using them to fuel the war, while Abstergo cared about people and understood humanity's limitations. However, she still showed Clay compassion, as she promised to protect him. Lucy proved to have a gift for deception, since she was able to hide her Assassin ties during her infiltration of Abstergo, and later, her affiliation to the Templars from her Assassin colleagues.

Her demise was to help Desmond develop as a character, even though Lucy was an intriguing member of the series herself.

She had been in the Assassin's Creed franchise from the start and played an important role in helping Desmond realize his abilities as an Assassin -- making her death all the more sudden and unwarranted. Even though Lucy was seemingly aligned with the Templars, she still seemed to be inherently good and genuinely cared for Desmond.

Her story would have been perfect to explore the different ideologies between the Assassins and Templars and how difficult it is for one to claim moral superiority over the other, as is done in AC 3. It would also have been compelling to see whether Lucy would eventually side with her friends -- Desmond, Shaun and Rebecca -- or the Templars, as she was clearly conflicted having served both sides in the past.

Lucy's desertion of the Assassins was also a response to her distrust of William Miles, a character who only appears after her death. Three years later, at age 17, William Miles revealed he had a mission for Lucy — one that would take her far away from the safety of the Brotherhood, but which would also allow her to see the world outside of the narrow view of the Assassins.

Lucy accepted the mission, whether willingly or otherwise, and said goodbye to the life she knew. To truly succeed in this mission, Lucy had to cut off almost all of her contact with the Brotherhood so that nobody would suspect her affiliation. For the first time in her life, Lucy was completely alone. Lucy attended university, under the orders of William Miles, with the view to eventually gain employment as an Abstergo scientist. Lucy chose to study cognitive neuroscience, but the University told her she had no future if she continued to pursue pseudoscience.

Having seemingly failed in her mission to get into Abstergo, Lucy began applying everywhere for work. Lucy spent years at Abstergo — and it was during that time that her loyalties began to shift. However, Vidic stepped in and saved her, saying she was too important for his project.

The Assassins were oblivious to this, and William Miles gave her a new mission: to have Clay Kaczmarek kidnapped and brought to Abstergo where she would give him unrestricted access to the Animus. Lucy told Clay she would uphold her promise to protect him, but she could not let him leave — for which she apologised. This death haunted Lucy and made her far more cautious when dealing with Desmond, afraid of repeating her previous mistakes.
