Lynch family

The Lynch family is a family of Assassins that consisted of Joseph Lynch, Mary Lynch, and their son Callum Lynch.

History

Kidnapped by Abstergo

On 21 September 1979, Callum was born to both his parents Mary and Joseph, who were Assassins, in Alcalde, New Mexico. At some point, they moved to Baja California, Mexico. In 1986, the parents learned that Abstergo tracked them down to their home as they wanted to use Mary's ancestral bloodline to Aguilar de Nerha and his connection to an Apple of Eden. Faced with a tough option, Mary had Joseph help her commit suicide and ensure their own son's death to stop the Templars from getting their blood. However, when Joseph saw his son Callum return from bike-riding, he orders him to run away while Abstergo vehicles come and find Joseph over Mary's body, they kidnap him for their Animus. As a result, Joseph was forced into the Animus to relive his ancestors' memories but resisted. As a result, he suffered neurological damage and became blind.

Prisoners

Callum became an orphan after running away and truly believed his father killed his mother. As an adult, he hated men who hurt women. However, his principle landed him in jail due to him killing a pimp, who was beating his underage prostitute. He was later sentenced to death because of his crime and his criminal record. However, Abstergo faked his death sentence and had him sent to their facility in Madrid. Met by both Alan Rikkin and his daughter Sofia Rikkin, Callum was initially convinced to aid the Templar cause after Mr. Rikkin showed him both his father and his father's hidden blade. After Callum confronted his father, Callum entered the Animus and helped the Templars learned the location of the Apple of Eden.

Escape

After Callum's work was done, a group of Assassin prisoners mutined in order to stop the Templars from acquiring the Apple. However, Alan left with Sofia and ordered the death of all the prisoners. Joseph, holding his blade given by Callum to take his own life, fought and took down some Abstergo guards before being overwhelmed and killed. However, while Callum was still connected to the Animus, his ancestors, including his parents, manifested in front of him as he came to terms with his mother's death and forgave Joseph. After reciting the Creed, Callum pledged his allegiance to the Assassins and helped his remaining captives take down the remaining Abstergo guards. In the end, he, Moussa, and Lin survived the onslaught and escaped the facility.

Trip to London

On 14 December 2016, Callum and his fellow Assassins tracked down the Apple and the Rikkins to Holborn Hall, where Alan Rikkin began a demonstration showcasing the Apple. However, Callum confronted Sofia about not completing her own goals of stopping aggression and violence but she stated she could not help Callum anymore. While Alan Rikkin activated the Apple in front of his fellow Templars, Callum used his blade and slit Rikkin's throat before taking back the Apple. Escaping with a light outage, he and his fellow Assassins recovered the Apple and striked a blow to Abstergo Industries.
