Kody is the technician of the Assassin team led by Xavier Chen and consisting of Galina Voronina, and later Charlotte de la Cruz. He engineered the Animus their team uses, and calls it by the nickname "Red Rider."
Biography
When Galina and Xavier took Charlotte to their cell's hideout in the Salton Sea, they introduce her to Kody, who was the one who found her online.
It was explained an Assassin named Joseph Laurier had apparently gone to the Templars in San Diego to inform them of an artifact hidden by his ancestor during the Salem witch trials. They needed Charlotte to enter the Animus and relive her ancestor Thomas Stoddard's memories of the era to determine if Joseph was telling the truth and had betrayed the Brotherhood, or if he was just baiting the Templars.
While Charlotte struggles to stay inside the Animus as she fails to synchronize with Stoddard's methods, Kody attributes her struggle to her being inexperienced with the process. Galina and Xavier meanwhile, discuss her progress, with Galina implying that Charlotte would not be able to synchronize with Stoddard and Xavier disagreeing with her. Galina in turn compares her to Joseph, saying that people can't change who they are, and that Joseph was finally showing his true colors by allying with the Templars. Kody reports that Charlotte has stabilized but if she continues to struggle she could damage herself.
Later, it is revealed by him that Joseph is being held by Didier Hawking, a high level Templar with a specialisation in memory hacking. It is feared that Joseph will reveal their location, as such the team decides to load the Animus to a van to allow Charlotte to keep searching whilst they relocate.
Using the Animus, Charlotte witnessed Jennifer's death, and it was agreed Joseph's ancestor did not know where the relic was hidden, so he was luring the Templars. Xavier and Galina left the van to rendezvous with Joseph. Charlotte had her doubts, and insisted Kody return her to Stoddard's memories. Continuing, she realized Jennifer was not the only ancestor of Joseph present in Salem, and that he was indeed betraying the Brotherhood.
With the realization that Xavier and Galina have clearly been sent into a trap. Charlotte decides to go in after them, and Kody gives her the familiar Assassin hoodie attire.
Entering the Abstergo facility Xavier and Galina had gone to meet Joseph at, she manages to infiltrate deeper into the building by tricking an employee to open a secured door. She binds the man and presses on, declaring herself to not be a killer to Kody.
Just as she neared Joseph's floor, she slipped and fell, but was able to spin onto another shaft and hold on with her knife: Kody noted she had begun to inherit Tom's abilities via the Bleeding Effect.
