Alannah Ryan

Alannah Ryan is an American student and Assassin who was part of Layla Hassan's cell during the search for the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus in 2018.

Biography

A student from Boston, Massachusetts, Alannah was recruited by William Miles into the Assassin Order at some point in 2017. In August, Alannah was one of the candidates chosen by fellow Assassin Layla Hassan to accompany her on a mission to Quebec due to her expertise on ancient documents and church construction. However, as she was still in training, Alannah was not allowed to accompany Layla on the field.

In 2018, Alannah became part of Layla's cell in search for historical artifacts, in particular the ancient scholar Herodotos' Lost Histories. Alannah served as the team's historian, providing historical details regarding Herodotos to Layla while she relived the memories of the Spartan misthios Kassandra.

After discovering the location of Atlantis beneath Thera, Alannah and the cell travelled to the island using the Altaïr II, a ship belonging to Gavin Banks. When Layla was deep within Atlantis trying to unlock the throne room, the Altaïr II was attacked by Sigma Team. The cell was able to fight them off, but Kiyoshi Takakura was wounded. Alannah called Layla to tell her that someone was listening in on their communications, so they were forced to go dark until it was safe to open up Atlantis.

When Layla regained communications with Alannah and the rest of the team, she informed her of her confrontation with Sigma Team's commander, Juhani Otso Berg, and the death of their doctor, Victoria Bibeau. She then requested the team to pick her up from the vault. After this incident, Alannah and Kiyoshi's relationship with Layla became strained and they went their separate ways.

Skills

Alannah is fluent in English, Latin, Ancient Greek, and Sanskrit.

Behind the scenes

Alannah Ryan is a character introduced in the 2018 video game Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. She is voiced by Elana Dunkelman, who also voiced the Pythia and a servant helot.

During an optional conversation in the first modern-day sequence of Odyssey, Alannah tells Layla that her great-great-grandfather was an Irish sailor and adventurer, prompting Layla to comment that Alannah makes her own luck. This is a reference to the catchphrase commonly said by Shay Cormac, the protagonist of the 2014 game Assassin's Creed: Rogue, and could possibly hint at a familial connection between Shay and Alannah.
