Rebecca Crane was the creator of the Animus 2.0 - which she affectionately refered to as "Baby". She also provided technical support for the other Assassins alongside her partner, Shaun Hastings. [1][2]
Biography
Early Life
Little information is known about Rebecca's past, though it appears that she was not born into the Brotherhood, as she comments that the Assassins contacted her when she was older. Prior to being an Assassin, Rebecca was into sports, including extreme snowboarding. However, one day she broke her leg, and began pursuing an interest in computers and coding, finding them more interesting than her previous hobbies.[2]
Before being contacted by the Assassins, Rebecca was dating an electronics expert. When Desmond questioned her further about the outcome of the relationship, she replied by saying that she had a boyfriend, and then didn't, implying that he may have been killed. Shocked by this, Desmond asked her if she was kidding, which she was. She continued to say that death is only funny when it's not happening in front of you, and that "(she) should know", and then refused to say any more about the topic.[2]
She also appears to be an old friend of Lucy Stillman, although, prior to Desmond Miles and Lucy's escape from Abstergo, the two purportedly did not see one another for seven years, because of Lucy's internment at Abstergo.[1]
Later on, Desmond asked her if she had ever used the Animus to learn about her ancestors, she commented that it was pretty boring compared to his ancestors, and that she spent the whole day firing guns as a Prussian mercenary.[2]
The Hideout
In the Hideout, Rebecca served as technical support for the Animus 2.0, ensuring that nothing goes wrong, with the machine or Desmond. She often left notes within the database entries that Shaun created for Desmond while he was in the Animus, especially if the entries indicated the presence of a Glyph or Assassin's Tomb therein. As well as this, the memory core that Rebecca had received from Lucy with the records of the Animus Desmond used at Abstergo, allowed Desmond to interact with the encrypted files Subject 16 left behind in Ezio Auditore da Firenze's memories.[1]
While Desmond was outside of the Animus, he, Rebecca, and Shaun, discuss the Assassin Order. According to Shaun, he began spreading the word about Abstergo and the Templars, provoking unwanted attention by the latter. Rebecca however, "saved" Shaun, and recruited him into the Order. When Shaun commented that the Assassins were killers, and not exactly the "good guys", Rebecca rebutted this statement, and assured Desmond that taking a life, though never easy, is sometimes needed for things to change.[1]
After Desmond received the message from Minerva, Abstergo found and broke into the hideout. Rebecca helped Shaun pack up the Animus gear, while Desmond and Lucy defended themselves from the Abstergo guards. As they escaped in the truck, Rebecca was able to get the Animus activated inside it, which allowed Desmond to reenter the Renaissance, and finish any remaining memories while on the way to their second base up north.[1]
Monteriggioni
Once again, Rebecca took the role of monitoring the Animus while in the Sanctuary. After the modern day Assassins were forced to leave their hideout, due to being discovered by Abstergo, they fled to Monteriggioni, where Rebecca set up the Animus 2.0 under the Villa Auditore, inside its secret vault.[2]
During Desmond's breaks from the Animus, he talked to Rebecca about the Animus' performance, as well as her past, and a few other topics. Whilst reading her e-mails, it was implied that Shaun and Rebecca have a budding relationship.[2]
After Desmond found out the location of the Apple, and they arrived at the Colosseum, Lucy took Rebecca and Shaun on an alternative route through Capitoline Hill at Shaun's suggestion, as himself and Rebecca did not possess the necessary free-running abilities to reach the Apple's location. When Juno spoke to Desmond, she, as well as the others could not hear or see her.[2]
As Desmond retrieved the Apple, everything around them froze. He was then taken over by the goddess, and forced to stab Lucy, but once Juno relinquished her control over Desmond, Rebecca and Shaun appeared physically unharmed.[2]
Characteristics and personality
Rebecca was an energetic, and somewhat immature young woman, and despite the fact that she saved his life, Shaun was quick to belittle and gibe at her. She was rather tolerant and optimistic, representing Shaun's foil – being the polar opposite of her colleague, 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 means, the Assassins are, as Desmond puts it, "the good guys."
Trivia
- When in the Animus 2.0, Rebecca adds information to the database using the name REBECCAC84. This username holds her first name, the initial of her last name, and implies her birth year. This may mean that she is 28 as of 2012.
- When Lucy Stillman and Desmond Miles first enter the hideout, Rebecca greets Lucy happily and exclaims: "It's been so long... seven years!" This means that the last time the two friends saw each other was in 2005.
- Her e-mail password is Snowmass84, likely to reflect her previous hobby, as well as implying her birth year.
- After losing her MP3 player, Rebecca sends an e-mail to her teammates about it, claiming that she "can't sleep without it."
- In one of her e-mails, Rebecca talks about sometimes missing her family, and her dog.
- Rebecca was originally going to have shorter hair in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, but was scrapped and replaced with her usual clothing with a jumpsuit.
- In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it is suggested she is a reckless driver, as evidenced at the Colosseum, when she wants to drive.
- Oddly enough, some civilians in Brotherhood appear to have her hairstyle.
- The name "Rebecca" is driven from the arabic name "Rifqah" which means "Company".
- During Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood it is implied that Rebecca is either a vegan or vegetarian as she calls Desmond a carnivore for eating a burger, which is ironic as in Assassin's Creed 2, while arguing, Shaun calls Desmond "The first vegan assassin in history".
