Charlotte de la Cruz

Charlotte de la Cruz

Charlotte de la Cruz is a woman who undertook Assassin training in the 21st century.

An overeducated and underemployed woman of mixed heritage in her mid-twenties, Charlotte spent her free time chasing down conspiracy theories on the Darknet. She was known to enjoy Abstergo products, mainly their games about the Assassins and Templars. Despite the fact that the Assassins were usually presented in these products as villains, Charlotte saw them as heroes.

At some point, by using the Helix system, she began to relive the genetic memories of her ancestor, Tom Stoddard, an Assassin present during the Salem witch trials, and came into contact with the Assassin Brotherhood via Assassins Galina Voronina and Xavier Chen. This made her a target for the Templar Order, who quickly moved against her.

While initially enthusiastic about reliving her ancestor's memories, Charlotte began to question Stoddard's actions and character, leading her to doubt whether she wanted to become an Assassin herself.
