	William sat by Layla while she relieved Bayek's memories in her Animus. When Layla woke up and threatened William with a makeshift Hidden Blade, he offered her a place with the Assassins to work on the Animus. Despite her reluctance to join up with the Brotherhood, she agreed to at least accompany him, needing protection against Abstergo.

	After leaving Egypt, Layla accepted William's offer and officially joined the Assassins. A year later, William assigned Layla to an Assassin cell in order to search for the [[Staff of Hermes Trismegistus]] and the Isu city of [[Atlantis]]. The cell consisted of Layla, the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins\|Japanese Assassin]] [[Kiyoshi Takakura]], the historian [[Alannah Ryan]], and the former Abstergo employee Dr. [[Victoria Bibeau]]. ~~While~~ the cell managed to locate the Staff in addition to the [[Spear of Leonidas]],<ref name="ACOD">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[21st century conversations\|Modern day]]</ref> Victoria was inadvertently killed by Layla while under the influence of the Staff in the Atlantean ruins beneath [[Thera]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]] – [[The Fate of Atlantis: Torment of Hades]]'' – [[21st century conversations\|Modern day]]</ref>		After leaving Egypt, Layla accepted William's offer and officially joined the Assassins.

	Layla's actions strained her partnership amongst the Assassins. Because of this, William reassigned her to work ~~alongside~~ his former associates Shaun and Rebecca. Under William's orders, Shaun placed a mood stabilizer on Layla's neck to prevent her from succumbing to the control of the Staff.<ref name="ACV">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[21st century conversations\|Modern day]]</ref>		Layla's actions strained her partnership amongst the Assassins.

	In 2020, Layla sacrificed herself to save the world much like Desmond had done eight years prior, by entering [[the Grey]] via the Isu computer known as [[Yggdrasil]]. In doing so, she freed the Hidden One [[Basim ibn Ishaq]], an [[Isu incarnation\|incarnation]] of the Isu [[Loki]] trapped in the Grey since the 9th century. Upon meeting Shaun and Rebecca, they informed Basim of the differences between the Hidden Ones and the modern Assassins, including the fact that they were led by a single Mentor. When Basim asked to meet this Mentor face-to-face, Shaun and Rebecca, although distrustful of Basim's motives, left to bring William.<ref name="ACV" />		In 2020, Layla sacrificed herself to save the world much like Desmond had done eight years prior, by entering [[the Grey]] via the Isu computer known as [[Yggdrasil]].

	Rather than risk an in-person meeting, William remotely accessed Basim's Animus simulation while he was reliving [[Eivor Varinsdottir]]'s memories, in order to converse with him. Curious to learn about Basim's true nature as well as how he had survived for so long in suspended animation, William agreed to work with him, but first requested a sample of his blood so the Assassins could relive his genetic memories.<ref name="The Last Chapter>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]] – [[The Last Chapter]]'' – [[21st century conversations\|Modern day]]</ref>		Rather than risk an in-person meeting, William remotely accessed Basim's Animus simulation while he was reliving [[Eivor Varinsdottir]]'s memories, in order to converse with him.

	After experiencing Basim's early life as a Hidden One, William was reluctant to share the genetic memories with the rest of the Brotherhood, fearing the wrong lessons might be learned from them. However, he later changed his mind and, believing Basim had many things to teach them, tasked one of his Assassins with researching the former Hidden One's memories.<ref name="ACMir">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[21st century conversations\|Modern day]]</ref>		After experiencing Basim's early life as a Hidden One, William was reluctant to share the genetic memories with the rest of the Brotherhood, fearing the wrong lessons might be learned from them.
