==Overview==
===Background===
She was a member of the Assassin Order and former genetic memory researcher for Abstergo Industries' Animus project. During her infiltration of Abstergo, she reported back information to the Assassins on the company's recent activities.
Once Desmond Miles had finished reliving his ancestor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's memories, Lucy helped him to escape the Abstergo laboratory. She then took him to the hideout, where he began his Assassin training, with the aid of new allies, Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane. The group worked on getting the memories of Desmond's ancestor, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, but had to leave the location right after Ezio defeated the bishop. She was later revealed as a Templar who used to be a spy in the Assassin at the epilogue of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Juno knew of her true allegiance, and took control of Desmond to kill her.
==Biography==
===Early Life===
Lucy Stillman was born in 1988 to unnamed parents, and was inducted into the Assassin order at birth. She was trained by William Miles during her early teenage years, and would become a valuable asset to the order. By the time she was seventeen, she was tasked with infiltrating Abstergo Industries, thus cutting her ties to the Assassins so she wouldn't raise suspicion. Lucy then decided to pursue at career at an unidentified university, but was forced to leave by the order, who were troubled of her studies in cognitive neuroscience. She would eventually get inside Abstergo when its head, Warren Vidic, offered her a job as a genetic memory researcher as he watched over her since she was an undergrad.
===Becoming a Spy===
At Abstergo, Lucy worked with Dr. Vidic on the Animus project, where she was assigned with developing the hardware and the operating system. During her three years at Abstergo, Lucy befriended Leila Marino, but was also a target of numerous employees who wanted her killed. Vidic put a stop to this, however, seeing Stillman as a valuable employee since she was improving the Animus project. When Lila committed suicide and her death was placed under mysterious circumstances, Lucy tried to investigate before being warned by Warren to drop the subject. Lucy then became a double agent for the Templars, having become isolated and withdrawn from William's personality, and chose to be guided by Vidic.
In 2011, William tasked Clay Kaczmarek with infiltrating Abstergo and be intentionally captured so Lucy could give him access to the company's network. While under Abstergo, he was named "Subject 16" and Vidic learned through him that the assassin, Ezio Auditore da Firenze knew about the apple of Eden and vaults of the First Civilization. Seeing that Clay's health was deteriorating, Abstergo managed to learn that William Miles' son, Desmond, was a descendant of the assassin, and decided to bring him in. Though Clay learned of her allegiance, Lucy protected him, but refused to let him leave the company and meet with the order. Eventually, Clay committed suicide after suffering from health deterioration and the bleeding effect, and Lucy was haunted by his death.

===Assassin's Creed===
In 2012, Abstergo managed to capture Desmond to use him to collect the pieces of Eden from his ancestor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, and he was taken to an Abstergo facility in Italy. Lucy assisted Dr. Vidic during "Subject 17's" travels through the animus, and would talk to Desmond during Animus sessions to gain his trust. Between each session, Lucy would leave ways for Desmond to escape from his room, go through Abstergo's emails, and later convinced him that she was an assassin. After Desmond relived Altaïr's memories, three executed wanted to dispose Miles, but Lucy convinced them that he could still be of use.
===Assassin's Creed II===
Seeing that Desmond was having the bleeding effect, Lucy went with her plan to escape with Desmond and inform Vidic of their movements. After escaping from Abstergo, Lucy presented Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane as their new allies, thus forming Desmond's cell. The group stayed at an assassin hideout, where Desmond would enter the Animus 2.0 and relive the memories of Ezio and him getting revenge for the deaths of his father and brothers. Between sessions, Lucy had Desmond set the security systems at the hideout, and speak with him on the Assassins and the Templars. After Desmond relieved the memory where Ezio discovered the vault, Abstergo discovered the assassin hideout. Lucy and the group escaped from the area after battling guards and being cornered by Dr. Vidic.

Learning that Ezio hid a piece of Eden in a vault underneath the colosseum, the group traveled there and find the apple. When Desmond touched the apple, Juno took control of his body and force him to kill Lucy, as she knew that the latter was a spy. After her death, Desmond fell into a coma due to emotional stress, but managed to return after being helped by his distant relative, Clay.
