In 2019, Gavin Banks discerned that a coin pressed around the time of the Great Recoinage of 1696 contained a code that could help stop a virus program from spreading. Banks found a modern day descendant of the Assassin Omar Khaled, Aliyah Khan, and attracted her attention at an underground poker game in London's Chinatown. Banks employed her aid in exchange for help with her financial troubles, and along with My'shell Lemair, helped her explore her ancestor's memories in the Animus.[1]
