Yanmei
Yanmei (died 2016) was a member of the Assassin cell operating in China.
Biography
There is not much known about her early life, however Isaiah suggested that her biological father was not a good person.
In 2016, the Assassin leader Gavin Banks ordered her to assist another agent, Griffin. Yanmei provided a jet to Griffin and the teenagers Natalya Aliyev, David Collins, and Javier Mondragón on their way to the Tomb, but the jet was shot down by the Templars. Surviving the crash, the Assassins confirmed the location of the Abstergo camp. As they made their way to the tomb on foot, David went towards the Abstergo camp, believing a series of lights were signalling him that Grace was there but was captured by the Templars.[1]
Upon reaching the spot where another of the teenagers, Natalya Aliyev had desynchronized, she still refused to give up the location of the tomb, refusing to trust the Assassins for their absolute obedience to their Creed. However, Yanmei managed to convince Natalya to lead them to the tomb. Natalya did not want to help the Assassins but Yanmei managed to convince her to help by explaining to them the meaning of true meaning of the Creed. She and Griffin were subsequently knocked out by Natalya using sleeping darts when Natalya thought the Assassins would use the Trident of Eden for their own ambitions like the Templars. Soon afterwards, the Templar Isaiah arrived; the Assassins regained consciousness and attacked Isaiah while Javier escaped with his friends. Isaiah emerged from the tomb with the fear prong and used its power against everyone. The vision she saw was of her father and the things he did to her. Yanmei tried to attack him, but Isaiah thrust the prong into her body ending her life before she could strike.[1]
Legacy
Yanmei's death left Natalya depressed—enough that Owen grew slightly concerned about her. She even considered leaving the Assassin-Templar War behind when Victoria Bibeau presented her with the opportunity. However, she remained determined to help both the Assassins and Templars rescue Sean from Isaiah.
Roughly twelve days after Yanmei's death, Natalya, Owen, and Grace located the last remaining Prong of the Trident and made their way to the getaway car, where they were confronted by Isaiah. Attempting to instill fear in the children, Isaiah told Natalya that, through the Prong, he could see the horrific things Yanmei’s father had done to her before killing her which made her cry.[2]
