- ―Charlotte de la Cruz, 2015.[src]
Charlotte de la Cruz is an employee of Malta Banking Corporation from San Diego who undertook Assassin training in 2015. She is a descendant of Tom Stoddard, an Assassin that was active during the Salem witch trials.
Biography
As a child, de la Cruz watched her family go almost bankrupt scrounging cash for her uncle's healthcare after he was denied his insurance, causing her to distrust big businesses and corrupt politicians. She became aware of the Assassin–Templar War after browsing conspiracy websites and playing Abstergo Entertainment's Helix products.
She made contact with the Assassin Kody online, who noted her sympathy towards the Assassins. Returning home from work, she was greeted by Xavier Chen and Galina Voronina, and immediately ambushed by Templars seeking to kill them. De la Cruz was knocked unconscious during their escape and taken to Chen's cell's hideout in the Salton Sea. There, she was introduced to Kody and the Animus, and learned that they needed her to explore her genetic memories to determine an artifact's location.
Personality and characteristics
De la Cruz is a headstrong, opinionated and witty woman who deplores the inequality of the world. Before meeting the Assassins, she illegally transferred ten thousand dollars to her customer, Ms. Morehead, so the latter could pay her daughter's healthcare. However, she quickly regretted this brash "Robin Hood" act of heroism.
Similarly, Charlotte's principles led her to storm out of an application for a job at World Share when her opinions that they should only give to less corrupt governments were dismissed. She also expressed discomfort with reliving the memories of her white male ancestor, and subsequently having to synchronize with his decision to not prevent the deaths of women accused of being witches.
Trivia
- The name Charlotte is a French feminine diminutive of Charles, which is derived from an old Germanic element meaning "free man". "De la Cruz" is a Spanish surname meaning "of the cross".
