His name is Shaun HastingsĀ (born 1985). He is aĀ BritishĀ member of theĀ Assassin BrotherhoodĀ who gives tactical guidance to numerousĀ Assassin cellsĀ across theĀ globe. His support is often targeted towards Assassins who are out in the field, occasionally offering assistance in the form of messages relayed from higher command. He is also the husband of fellow AssassinĀ Rebecca Crane.
In his first cell operating from an oldĀ Assassin hideoutĀ inĀ Rome, he helped his teammates Rebecca,Ā Lucy Stillman, andĀ Desmond MilesĀ by acting as both historian and analyst, assisting Desmond during his time in theĀ AnimusĀ reliving theĀ memoriesĀ of his ancestorĀ Ezio Auditore. This help mostly came in the form ofĀ databaseĀ entries on the various people, places, and events Desmond encountered in the simulation based on Ezio's memories, which he would continue to create as Desmond explored the lives of more of his ancestors.
After escaping anĀ AbstergoĀ attack on their hideout and relocating to theĀ SanctuaryĀ inĀ Monteriggioni, the team successfully found Ezio'sĀ Apple of Eden, hidden in theĀ Colosseum Vault. However, upon retrieving the artifact, Desmond, under the influence of theĀ IsuĀ Juno, killed Lucy, who was secretly aĀ moleĀ for theĀ Templars. After Desmond fell into a coma as a result of this incident, he and Rebecca brought him to his fatherĀ William Miles, theĀ MentorĀ of the Assassins, in theĀ United States.
Once Desmond awakened, the Assassins used the Apple to access the Grand Temple, seeking to find a solution to the forthcoming Second Disaster. While Desmond relived the memories of Haytham Kenway and Ratonhnhaké:ton to find the key to the complex's inner chambers, he tracked down several power sources required to power the temple, which Desmond subsequently retrieved. Upon accessing the inner vault of the temple, Desmond chose to sacrifice himself to activate the global aurora borealis device and prevent the Second Disaster, saving the planet.
