Biography
Sometime during the 19th century, Lucy acquired an occult manuscript, reportedly detailing the location of a mystical object, in an auction, outbidding Crawford Starrick in the process.[1]
In 1868, Thorne traveled to Croydon to encourage David Brewster to accelerate his experiment on the Piece of Eden in his possession. She then returned to London to oversee the transportation of a crate full of Assassin documents. However, two Assassins, Jacob and Evie Frye, stole the carriage carrying the crate when Thorne left it unattended. Though Thorne's men were able to recover the crate, though the Assassin were able to escape with a book with the Assassin insignia on it.[2]
Thorne later investigated Edward Kenway's mansion for any information leading to the Shroud of Eden. However, Evie and Henry Green infiltrated the mansion and found a hidden passage below the piano room. When Thorne discovered this, Green sealed the passageway, and by the time Thorne managed to force her way in, the Assassins had escaped.<ref name="ACS">
