Biography
Graham Westerly was an intelligence liaison to the Crown and ran the the SIRS office in Buckingham Palace. He made his name overseas for his ability to extract information from detainees through violent torture that relied on the removal of teeth and fingernails.[1]
Westerly once brokered a deal between the Templars and the weakened British Assassins, giving the Brotherhood the chance to leave London with what few numbers they had left in exchange for them never setting foot on London again. In 2039, he discovered that two Assassins had broken their promise, Lucas and Darcy Clarkson, and promptly kidnapped Lucas. Darcy attempted to negotiate, wanting him to let Lucas go so they could leave the city and forget the incident, though Westerly declined, since Lucas had information he wanted.[3]
The Templar strapped Lucas to a machine at Albion Station Kennington and tortured him for the location of the Tomb of the Assassins, which he eventually told. Westerly monologued on how the Assassins were regularly reduced to nothing through purges and often made up of the unruly lower classes, before Lucas interrupted him, saying he would rather die than hear another word from him. Westerly corrected him on this, stating that he in truth wanted Lucas alive when they breached the tomb. The torture had been too much, however, and Lucas passed away due to his injuries.[3]
By this point, Westerly's agents who had searching the tomb's location at the Buckingham Palace grounds were neutralised and his security system scrambled by a DedSec operative, allowing Darcy to enter the tomb first, though he managed to infiltrate it with a team of Templars. Darcy dealt with the guards, found Westerly, and assassinated him with her Hidden Blade. Westerly remained scornful in his final moments, saying that he held no respect for a group of killers who left the city instead of fighting him and that his death would merely delay the Templars' grander plan rather than stop it entirely, before dying from his wounds.[1]
Behind the scenes
Westerly is featured as a character in Watch Dogs: Legion, a game also developed by Ubisoft. Despite being made by the same company, the crossover is purely "fan service" and is thus not considered canon within the Assassin's Creed series according to Watch Dogs: Legion Live Producer Lathieeshe Thillainathan.[4][5]
