{{quote|Desmond, shut the fuck up...please.|Lucy and Desmond escaping Abstergo}}
'''Lucy Stillman''' (born 1988) is a member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] and former [[Genetic memory|genetic memory]] researcher, working for [[Abstergo Industries]] on the [[Animus|Animus project]]. During her time at Abstergo, she spied on the company and helped [[Desmond Miles]] escape the [[Abstergo Laboratory]]. She then aided in Desmond's training to be an Assassin, alongside [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]].

==Biography==
=== Early life===
Before starting work with Abstergo Industries, Lucy Stillman attended a university to study cognitive neuroscience, but was forced to leave when her mentors began to hold issue with her topic of study (considered pseudoscience). Forced out of the university, she applied at a variety of locations and tried close to everything to achieve employment, at one point joking to Desmond, "I was ''this'' close to waiting tables." <ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

Eventually, she was contacted by [[Warren Vidic|Dr. Warren Vidic]], offering her a position at Abstergo Industries. She accepted the offer, and began working with Dr. Vidic on his Animus project immediately. For the first three years, Lucy was largely responsible for the design of a number of the Animus's functions and interfaces. While Lucy was on fairly cordial and friendly terms with a few other employees at Abstergo, such as [[Richard (Abstergo)|Richard]], these same individuals were later ordered to have Lucy killed, before Vidic intervened, seeing her as a valuable employee.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

===Working for Abstergo===
Lucy was first seen after she pulled Desmond out of the Animus, seeing that his subconscious would not let him view the specific memory that Abstergo wanted. As Warren explained to Desmond what the Animus does and what genetic memories are, she explained Abstergo's goal without revealing too much information to Desmond.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

[[File:Lucyanimus.png|thumb|300px|left|Lucy seen from Desmond's eyes.]]
In between sessions, Lucy asked Desmond questions concerning his past, or answered Desmond's questions with what little she could reveal about Abstergo's goals. Lucy also mentions that he was not the only person Abstergo was detaining, and that she too was an unfortunate captive. She then told him a story of how, in the past, Abstergo had decided to silence her, to keep her from speaking about the Animus; but before her assailants could commit her murder, they were ordered to stand down by Dr. Warren Vidic. She claimed that he had saved her life that day, and she told Desmond not to judge Dr. Vidic so harshly, as he was under a lot of pressure.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

As more time passed on, Lucy leaves the access codes behind in Desmond's wardrobe, so that he could finally leave his room. On top of the Animus, Desmond found Lucy's pen, which was also left there for him to find. This gave him access to her computer, in order to read her [[e-mails]]. Later, Lucy revealed to Desmond that she to is also an Assassin and was only undercover to learn more about Abstergo's plans.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

When Desmond finished his time in the Animus, reliving the memories of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], three Abstergo CEO's, along with Warren, decided to kill Desmond, seeing as they had already retrieved the information they needed. Lucy intervened, and convinced them to keep Desmond for more testing, as his memories could still reveal more about the locations of the [[Pieces of Eden]]. In turn, she had to leave him behind in the lab.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

===Escape to the Hideout===
[[File:Lucybash.jpg|thumb|340px|Lucy incapacitates an [[Abstergo]] guard.]]
A few hours after Lucy and Vidic left, Desmond was still trapped in the lab after he had first used his new skill, [[Eagle Vision]]. Suddenly, Lucy rushed inside with blood splatters on her shirt from fighting her way through the Abstergo facility. Lucy told Desmond that there was no time to waste, and that he had to get into the Animus to retrieve the memory core data. Lucy wrote the data on a disk and decided it was time to flee. The two successfully fought their way down the facility, and made it to the parking lot. There, they found themselves confronted by guards. Quickly disposing of them, Lucy told Desmond to go into the trunk of a car ''"for [his] own protection"''. When the ride was over, the pair arrived in the [[Hideout]]. Before entering the main room, Lucy told Desmond that she had brought him to the Hideout to train to be an Assassin, by using the [[Animus 2.0]] and its [[bleeding effect]] to imprint skills through [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]. Entering the Animus 2.0 room, Lucy's fellow Assassins, [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]], introduced themselves to Desmond, and set preparations for the sessions. Later in the day, Lucy evaluated Desmond's progress in between the sessions. The night after, Lucy and Desmond talked once more, where Desmond promised that he would protect her.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

[[File:Desmondlucy.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Lucy talking to Desmond in the Assassins' hideout.]]
After Desmond made his new discovery through Ezio from the [[the Vault]] in [[Rome]], the alarm went off as Abstergo invaded their hideout. In a rush, Lucy gave Desmond a [[Hidden Blade]] similar to Ezio's, and made her way downstairs. When Lucy encountered Warren Vidic again in the warehouse, he reminded her that he had saved her, which was why she came to work for Abstergo in the first place. Vidic burst out in anger as he stated his disappointment in her for her "betrayal". Both Lucy and Desmond engaged in a fight with the Abstergo guards, and managed to defeat them. Vidic was last seen in the back of a truck, stating that the attack was only the beginning, and fled. When Desmond started to go after him, Lucy stoped him and said that they will bring Vidic to justice for what he has done ''eventually''. Lucy and the others evacuated the hideout, despite having defeated the guards from Abstergo, as their location had been revealed, and Abstergo would most likely be back with reinforcements. They left to hide out in the mountains, while Desmond was preparing 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 "[[Those Who Came Before|Goddess]]" [[Minerva]] meant and also told Desmond that everything she feared is starting to happen.<ref name="Assassin's Creed II"/>

After a long drive, the Assassins finally arrived in [[Monteriggioni]], setting up a new hideout in the [[Sanctuary]] underneath the [[Villa Auditore]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref> She and Desmond access the sanctuary together via underground sewers and tunnels.

After reliving Ezio's last memories in the Animus, the Assassins discover that the Apple of Eden was hidden by Ezio in a vault underneath Santa Maria Aracoeli. After retrieving the Apple, Juno takes contol of Desmond's body saying "The path must be opened. The scales must be balanced.". Juno then proceeds to force Desmond to kill Lucy. It is unknown at this time wheither Lucy will survive, however, when she and Desmond passed out the Apple fell in-between them, with Desmond unconcious the player is returned to play as Ezio in "free roam".

==Personality==
In contrast with Warren Vidic's personality, Lucy is a warm and patient woman with a bright personality. She always lends encouraging words and sympathy towards Desmond Miles, though it obviously irritates him sometimes. At times, when Warren Vidic attempts to force Desmond to go deeper to the Animus memory, Lucy will stop him from going and plead with Vidic to allow Desmond to rest, showing her caring personality. <ref name="Assassin's Creed" /> <ref name> Assassin's Creed: Official Game Guide </ref>

During ''Assassin's Creed II'', it is shown that she is cunning and resourceful for keeping Desmond's night-time explorations of the Animus room secret, but becomes irate or worried under too much pressure. She becomes sensitive to the death of her collegues like her friend [[Leila Marino]], her role to [[Subject 16]]'s loss of sanity, and the stress over the death of two more (eight Assassins) teams in the field. <ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

==Trivia==
* She is modeled after and voiced by [[Kristen Bell]].
* The [[Assassin's Creed Achievements|achievement]] "Conversationalist" can be unlocked in the 360 version of the first game by talking to Lucy every time Desmond comes out of the Animus. Note that you must talk to her completely, until she says that she's too busy to talk, or asks if he's tired. <ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref> <ref name> Assassin's Creed: Official Game Guide </ref>
* Lucy's character model is drastically altered between games. In the first ''Assassin's Creed'', she is dressed in appropriate business/work attire. In ''Assassin's Creed II'', her clothes are much more casual, and she has a slightly more curvaceous figure, and different facial structure: larger eyes and lipstick. Lucy's eyes also go from blue-grey to completely blue. In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', she wears a brown jacket over her clothes from ''Assassin's Creed II''.<ref name="Assassin's Creed" /><ref name="Assassin's Creed II" /><ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" />
* In ''Assassin's Creed II'', it is revealed that she is a very successful fighter, taking down many Abstergo guards while she and Desmond were escaping the Hideout and in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' she is seen to have a simalar level of free-running abilities like Desmond and his ancestors.
*It's implied throughout ''Assassin's Creed II'' that Lucy and Desmond have feelings for each other. There is evidence of this by her caring for his well-being due to the Bleeding Effect, as well as hugging him and saying that she's glad he's with the Assassins before Desmond's training. It is also implied through Desmond by example of him trying to be humorous around her and always asking how she is and trying to make her feel better about Subject 16, saying that its not her fault about what happened to him. Desmond has also said that he would protect her, further implying feelings between them.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', she seems to have a scene from [[Project Legacy]] on her computer in the [[Sanctuary]].
*Lucy's e-mail password in ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' is "Juno57". This is proves to be foreshadowing, as [[Juno]] is the one who controls Desmond to apparently kill Lucy.
*While traveling in the tunnels of the Sanctuary, it is revealed that Lucy has a fear of bats.
*lucy also may be a secret templar setting desmond up. things throughout the game can prove,it is also known near the end of assassins creed brotherhood that she gets an email from abstergo

Rome hideout

2010-11-14T04:22:17Z

69.141.129.45:

[[File:4640749520_4ce20e0ebc.jpg|frame|Panoramic view of the hideout.]]
The '''hideout''' was the base for a group of [[Assassins]] – consisting of [[Lucy Stillman]], [[Shaun Hastings]], [[Rebecca Crane]], and [[Desmond Miles]] – during the year 2012.

The building itself appears to be in [[Italy]] possibly [[Florence]] or [[Rome]], as evidenced by signs written in Italian, and the architecture outside. The loft area of the hideout contains three doors that cannot be opened throughout the whole game, one of which is a reinforced metal door. Given that there is only one bed visible in the rest of the building, it is likely that at least one of the hidden rooms is for accommodation. Various equipment in the Hideout is branded with the [[Abstergo]] logo, perhaps indicating that it was stolen.

The Animus room contains the [[Animus 2.0]] otherwise referred to as "Baby" by Rebecca. Lucy is usually found sitting at her desk with her computer. Her role is keeping track of the Assassin parties outside of the "hideout", fighting the [[Templars]]. Shaun acts as a researcher, and he writes for the Animus' [[database]] as well as provide tactical support of other Assassins out in the field. Rebecca works next to the Animus, keeping record of its performance. Maintaining and fixing the machine is her responsibility. She also adds notes to the database using the username "RebeccaC84", sometimes noting that there is a hidden "[[Glyph]]" on a nearby building. During the interludes when Desmond steps out of the Animus, he can interact with these characters to learn more about them and the story. Unfortunately, there is nothing else to do in these segments.

The ground floor of the building contains a large warehouse with piles of boxes, which later serve as a makeshift climbing tutorial for Desmond. It is possible that the Assassins bought the building after it had already been built as a warehouse. This area also contains the building's security systems.

==Trivia==
*When first entering the temporary base of the assassins, while using [[Eagle Vision]], the road blockers on either side of the garage door are seen in blue, as if they were allies.
*It is suspected that the Hideout and [[Abstergo laboratory]] is in Italy, considering that the outside of the hideout looks exactly like Florence in Ezio’s time, and that the parking lot in Abstergo and the Assassin’s hideout have signs that have words in Italian, including "sezione", which means "section" in English. In Abstergo’s garage there are signs in Italian saying "Parcheggio riservato" meaning "Reserved parking" and "Altezza totale" meaning "Altitude". In the end of [[Assassin's Creed II|''Assassin's Creed II'']], Lucy says that they can hide out in a cabin up north and Rebecca later says that it's a long drive. The cabin is later revealed in [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]] to be the [[Sanctuary]] underneath [[Monteriggioni]].
*The keyboards used by Lucy and the other assassins are unusual in that they seem to "mirror" standard keyboards, with number pads on the left side and the main enter key also being on the left side. Presumably the rest of the keyboard is also reversed in a similar fashion.
*A picture and the word "alert" can be seen on Lucy's and Shaun's computers at the hideout.
*A glitch occurs if the player turns off the game after DNA sequence 11 is completed (during the cutscene when Desmond comes out of the Animus then immediately asks to go back in for the next DNA sequence). The player will be in the warehouse section of the hideout, but Lucy, Rebecca and Shaun will be nowhere and you cannot re-enter the Animus anymore, you are stuck in the hideout with nothing, although there is a missing wall down in the warehouse section that you can jump through, but it will lead you to a pool of water with no way back up and nowhere to go. This glitch was fixed in an update.
*In PlayStation Home you are allowed to roam free around the hideout once you find all the glyphs in the [[Abstergo laboratory]] but you can only be in the room where the Animus is located, you can't go to the lower level in the Hideout.
*If you look closely when you talk with Shaun, you can see the Animus map of [[Venice]] and complete one of Florence.
*The interior design of the main area in the hideout is strikingly similar to that of the Ubisoft Montreal office; it is not known if this similarity is intentional or not.
*at the ending of the game, if you look through a window you will noticed it has changed to night
*aftert you complete the miny game of activeting the security if you back after Desmond wakes from his hilusination about altiar the security has been deactiveted for some strange reason.
