Lucy Stillman

Lucy first appears as she and Warren argue about whether to leave Desmond in the Animus or pull him out during a fragmented memory sequence. Afterward, while Vidic explains to Desmond what the Animus does and what 'genetic memories' are, Lucy explains Abstergo's goal in very broad and non-specific terms. Vidic wants to hurry Desmond along, seeing no reason to 'coddle' him, but Lucy manages to convince Vidic that Desmond will be useless without time to rest from his experience.

During Desmond's time in the Animus, Lucy is his chief defender, pressuring Vidic to allow Desmond more time to rest. In breaks between Animus sessions, Lucy begins to warm to Desmond, and answers what questions she can about the Animus, Abstergo and Vidic. Lucy also mentions that Desmond was not the only person Abstergo was detaining; she, too, is an unfortunate captive. Abstergo tried to silence her to keep her from speaking publicly about the Animus, but her attackers were ordered to stand down by Dr. Warren Vidic. She claimed that he saved her life that day, and she told Desmond not to judge Dr. Vidic so harshly, as he was under a lot of pressure. After a few days, Lucy hides the access codes for Desmond's door in his wardrobe so that he can roam freely about the Animus chamber, and 'forgot' her security pen on the Animus so that Desmond could access her e-mail account. Eventually, she reveals herself to Desmond as an Assassin, working undercover to learn more about Abstergo's goals.

After Desmond successfully retrieves the suppressed memory sequence, Abstergo executives order Desmond's murder, but Lucy convinces them to keep him alive to extract more information. Several hours later, Lucy returned and broke Desmond out of the Abstergo facility, eventually escaping to an Assassin safehouse, where Rebecca Crane and Shaun Hastings waited with the Animus 2.0, an improved and upgraded Animus machine of Rebecca's own design. They inform Desmond that they're going to attempt an unorthodox training regime: by using the Animus and the Bleeding Effect, they're going to try and 'imprint' his ancestors' skills on Desmond himself, turning him into a master assassin-by-proxy. Eventually, Abstergo tracks them to the safehouse, and the Assassins are forced to flee to a secondary facility in the north; on the way, Desmond goes back into the Animus to search Ezio and Altair's memories for any information that may help them.

Shortly thereafter they arrive at Monteriggioni, and establish their second base. There Lucy continues to help Desmond through the Animus. After Desmond finds the location of the Apple of Eden through Ezio's memories, Lucy, Shaun, and Rebbecca accompany him deep beneath the Colosseum, to a hidden vault where it resides. As Desmond holds the Apple, Goddess Juno controls him through it. She then forces him to stab Lucy, demanding a "sacrifice in order to be awakened". Her current fate is unknown.
