History[edit | edit source]
By 2015, Charlotte de la Cruz lived in an apartment in the city, where she spent her free time playing Abstergo Entertainment's Helix, preferring to play as the Assassins. On 15 September, she attended a job interview for World Share, only to storm out once she realized that the job would likely go to the interviewer's daughter.[2]
Charlotte then returned to her hated teller job at the Malta Banking Corporation. As an act of kindness, she transferred $10,000 to the account of Ms. Morehead, after learning that Morehead's insurance would not cover her daughter's healthcare. However, as she headed home, Charlotte realized this act would likely lead to her getting fired. Entering her apartment, she was unexpectedly greeted by the Assassins Xavier Chen and Galina Voronina, who introduced themselves to her.[2]
Already well-aware of the Brotherhood's existence, Charlotte instantly accepted their offer of recruitment, but within moments, the apartment was stormed by three Templar agents feigning to be from World Share. While Xavier and Galina dealt with the assailants, Charlotte attempted to leap from her balcony to the opposite roof to escape, only to be knocked unconscious. The two Assassins retrieved her and brought her to their hideout near the Salton Sea.[2]
Later, the Assassins returned to the city in their van and planned their infiltration of the offices of Treo Tea, a Templar front company, to rescue Joseph Laurier, a former member of their cell. After growing impatient, Galina and Xavier decided to go ahead with the mission, despite the uncertainty of where Joseph's true loyalties stood. Charlotte was left inside the van with Kody Adams and decided to finish reliving her ancestor Tom Stoddard's memories in the Animus, which confirmed that Joseph had lured the Assassins into a trap and was working with the Templars.[3]
Posing as a Treo Tea employee, Charlotte was able to infiltrate their offices and mounted her own rescue mission, hoping to reach Galina and Xavier before it was too late. However, Joseph had already killed Xavier and injured Galina, breaking her leg. Charlotte stopped him from finishing off Galina, and Joseph detonated a hidden explosive, resulting in the deaths of several high-ranking Templars, including Didier Hawking. He then explained that he had only used the Templars to pursue vengeance against the Assassins and invited Charlotte to join him, claiming the Brotherhood was using her.[4]
Charlotte refused and attacked Joseph, though they were both forced to escape as Templar agents arrived on the scene. The former grabbed Galina, and together they returned to the van, whereupon Kody drove them far away from San Diego to lose the Templars' tail.[4]
