Lucas Clarkson (c. 2004 – 2029) was a member of British Brotherhood of Assassins during the early 21st century. The twin brother of Darcy, he was a descendant of Jacob and Evie Frye.[2]
In 2029, Lucas traveled to London to protect a secret Assassin tomb in the city from the Templars, who had driven the Brotherhood out of London many years prior. However, he was eventually captured and tortured to death by the Templar Graham Westerly, who sought the tomb's location.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
Inspired by the acts of their Victorian era ancestors in liberating London from its stranglehold under the British Templars, Lucas wanted to follow in their footsteps and take the fight to the resurgent Templars in London. This caused friction with Darcy, who warned him that the British Brotherhood was too weak to fight back, though he in turn chided her for not showing initiative like their forbearers and warned his sister to not follow him.[3]
Despite his warning, Lucas knew Darcy would follow him anyway, so he marked intel and left audio files for her to find. During his investigation, Lucas discovered how rampant the Templars had become since the expulsion of the Assassins from the city, with them having agents in organizations such as SIRS, Albion, and Clan Kelley.[3]
Lucas was eventually captured by the Templar Graham Westerly and strapped to a machine at Albion Station Kennington to be tortured for the location of the Assassin tomb. At some point, he broke and told Westerly the tomb's location and what it housed. The Templar then monologued on how the Assassins were regularly reduced to nothing and were often made up of the unruly lower classes, before Lucas interrupted him by saying he would rather die than hear another word from him. In response, Westerly revealed that he wanted Lucas to be alive to witness the Templars' victory when they breached the tomb, though it was too late, as Lucas soon succumbed to his injuries.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Lucas is featured as a character in Watch Dogs: Legion, a game also developed by Ubisoft. Despite being made by the same company, the crossover is purely "fan service" according to Watch Dogs: Legion Live Producer Lathieeshe Thillainathan and is thus not considered canon within the Assassin's Creed series.[4][5]
