'''Rebecca Crane''' was a [[Modern times|modern-day]] [[Assassins|Assassin]] and the creator of the [[Animus|Animus 2.0]] - which she affectionately referred to as "Baby."

She was a part of [[Lucy Stillman]]'s team, who concentrated on acquiring the [[Ezio's Apple|Apple of Eden]] before [[Abstergo Industries]], as well as training [[Desmond Miles]] through the use of the [[Bleeding effect]]. She was the person who provided technical support for the other members of the Assassin Order alongside her fellow Assassin, [[Shaun Hastings]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
{{Quote|I was into sports, but then I broke my leg and started playing with computers. Who knew that coding could be just as exhilarating as strapping on a board and dropping out of a helicopter?|Rebecca Crane|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
Rebecca was one of the few Assassins who were not born into the Assassin Order, but recruited instead. Prior to joining the Order, Rebecca engaged in sports, including extreme snowboarding and skydiving. However, when she broke her leg, she began pursuing an interest in computers during her recovery, and found coding to be as exhilarating as her previous hobbies. Rebecca also dated an electronics engineer before she was contacted by the Assassins. <ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

Some time after her own recruitment into the Order, Rebecca was responsible for the recruitment of Shaun. Since he had discovered some of Abstergo's secrets, Shaun had begun spreading the word about their plans, thus provoking unwanted attention. Rebecca attempted to warn him off, saying that he was ''"messing with the wrong people"'', though Shaun did not believe her and continued his work. Shaun later admitted that he would have wound up at the bottom of a river had Rebecca not stepped in to save his life, and brought him into the Order.<ref name="AC2" />

Rebecca was [[Clay Kaczmarek]]'s teammate, when he was tasked to infiltrate Abstergo Industries.<ref name="ACR Lost Archive">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]-[[The Lost Archive]]''</ref>

Rebecca was also an old friend of Lucy Stillman, though the two did not see each other for seven years after 2005, during which Lucy worked at Abstergo. The two only reunited in 2012, after Desmond and Lucy's [[Escape from Abstergo Industries|escape from Abstergo's laboratories]].<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

At one point, Desmond asked Rebecca if she had ever used the Animus to learn about her ancestors, at which she commented that the lives she had relived were "lame" compared to those of Desmond's ancestors. She elaborated on this, complaining on how boring it had been spending the whole day firing guns as a Prussian mercenary.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

My coder is trying to dasruepe me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

===Stay in Monteriggioni===
{{Quote|Wait a minute guys. We need power down here. There's a line nearby that I can hook into but the wattage is weak.|Rebecca in the Sanctuary|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
[[File:Retrieval 19.png|thumb|250px|Rebecca plugging Desmond into the Animus in the sanctuary.]]
After the team had arrived at [[Monteriggioni]] and gained access to the [[Sanctuary]], Rebecca was again responsible for the Animus and their other equipment. To power the underground chamber, Rebecca gave Desmond several devices of her own making, which would re-route small amounts of power to their new base, upon being attached to circuit boxes across the town.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

Throughout their stay in the [[Villa Auditore]], Rebecca regularly sent [[Rebecca's e-mail|e-mails]] to her teammates, usually involving minor matters, such as her missing MP3 player, and how Shaun had stolen Lucy's yogurt. She also informed Lucy, seemingly worried, that Desmond had been yelling in his sleep.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

===Journey to the Colosseum===
{{Quote|Those beams poking out of the wall look like switches. If you hit all of them, you might get some power to the central platform.|Rebecca in the Colosseum vault|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}
[[File:Retrieval 16.png|thumb|250px|left|Rebecca, Shaun and Lucy frozen in time.]]
When Desmond found out the location of the Apple, and the team had arrived at the [[Colosseo|Colosseum]], Lucy took Rebecca and Shaun on an alternative route through Capitoline Hill at Shaun's suggestion, as he and Rebecca did not possess the necessary [[Free Running|free-running]] abilities to reach the Apple's location. When [[Juno]] spoke to Desmond, Rebecca - along with Shaun and Lucy - could neither hear nor see her.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

As Desmond retrieved the Apple, he was taken over by the "[[Those Who Came Before|goddess]]", and forced to stab Lucy. However, once Juno relinquished her control, Rebecca and Shaun appeared physically unharmed.<ref name="Brotherhood" />

===Presiding over Desmond===
After Lucy´s death and [[William Miles]]' arrival, Rebecca presided over the comatose Desmond, who had been placed back into the Animus. After Desmond had relived Ezio's [[Search for knowledge|adventures in Constantinople]], Desmond managed to regain his consciousness. When he woke up, the Animus had once again been placed inside a van, and Rebecca occupied her usual spot besides him, keeping an eye on the machine and Desmond's health. <ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

==Characteristics and personality==
{{Quote|Look, it's not ideal. And taking a life is never easy. But sometimes there's no other way. Sometimes, Desmond, people have to die for things to change.|Rebecca speaking about an Assassin's duties.|Assassin's Creed II}}
[[File:Becky2.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Rebecca at her computer in the hideout.]]
Rebecca was an energetic, and somewhat immature young woman. Also, despite the fact that she had saved his life multiple times, Shaun was quick to belittle and gibe at her; though she would rarely be provoked. At one point, when she commented about a movie as Shaun was speaking of the historical background of the [[Bonfire of the Vanities]], he irritably told her to be quiet since ''"the grownups are talking."''

Rebecca was rather tolerant and optimistic, representing a foil to Shaun's more cynical and brash personality. As the polar opposite of her colleague, she was friendly and talkative. She showed great pride in her work, praising her redesign of the Animus as having a far more enlightened and creative construct; a "competitive edge" as she called it.

She also remained convinced that, despite Shaun's dubiousness of their methods, the Assassins were, as Desmond put it, "the good guys".

==Trivia==

*The name "Rebecca" is derived from the Arabic name "Rifqah," which means "company".
*When in the Animus 2.0, Rebecca adds information to the database using the name REBECCAC84. This username holds her first name and the initial of her last name.
*Her e-mail password is Snowmass84, likely to reflect her previous hobby.
*Based on her usernames and password, she may have been born in the year 1984.
*In one of her e-mails, Rebecca talks about sometimes missing her family, and her dog.
*Rebecca was originally intended to have shorter hair in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', though this was reverted for the actual game.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', it is suggested that Rebecca is a reckless driver, as when she offers to drive the van, Shaun refuses, saying, ''"Ah, nice try. I've seen your car."''
*It is implied that Rebecca is either a vegan or vegetarian, as she calls Desmond a "carnivore" after seeing him eat a burger.
*In [[The Lost Archive]] DLC trailer you can hear Rebecca saying "Vidic kept him in [[Animus]] too long". However, she doesn't appear in the DLC.
