"I've always known that in your heart, you were a scientist first, a Templar second."

―Alan Rikkin to Sofia, 2016.

Sofia Rikkin (nacida en 1980) es científica y directora del Centro de Rehabilitación de la Fundación Abstergo en Madrid . Ella es también la hija de Alan Rikkin , el ex director general de Industrias Abstergo y parte de la Orden del Temple 's Inner Sanctum , con el que tuvo una relación difícil.

In December 2016, Sofia came into contact with Callum Lynch, a criminal whose Assassin ancestry was of interest to the Council of Elders within the Templar Order.  

Biography

In 1984, Sofia's mother was killed by an Assassin when she was still a toddler. After achieving brilliant studies in her adolescence, Sofia soon followed in her father's footsteps and joined the Templar Order.

In 2006, she discovered Layla Hassan, a college dropout, and recruited her into Abstergo's Young Innovators program. Promising her a place on the Animus Project, the two became close acquaintances, but cut ties from each other some years later.

By 2014, she was put in charge of the Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center in Madrid, where she studied violence and tried to find a cure for it. In 2016, she witnessed the death of her father at the hands of Callum Lynch.

Personality and characteristics

An idealist, Sofia believes she can better the world through her work at Abstergo and seeks to eradicate humanity's violent impulses using science and the Pieces of Eden. In doing so, she hopes to create a more peaceful society.

A hard working scientist above all, she could be quite distant at times and often disregarded giving credit to others, such as taking credit for the Animus 4.3 concept art conceived by Layla Hassan.

Her relationship with her father Alan Rikkin was difficult and estranged most of the time; where he sought to contain the Assassin threat, she only sought to contain violence itself.

Trivia

Callum's ancestor

• The name Sofia is derived from the Greek Σοφια, which means "wisdom". In the movie novelization, Alan Rikkin mentions that she was named for this reason.
• Sofia speaks three languages fluently.
• Sofia seems to share some of Callum Lynch's ancestry, as one of his ancestors appearing through the Animus was a female Assassin whose appearance was identical to Sofia's.
