Events of Watch_Dogs Legion[]
After synchronizing Bagley at a high point in the Furzton Tower Block, DedSec discovered a message from Lucas Clarkson to his sister Darcy. In it, he mentioned that he had left scattered packets of information about Templar operations in London. Through similar messages left between the siblings, DedSec learned about the ongoing conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order, the latter of which had members infiltrating the major factions in the city such as Albion, Clan Kelley, SIRS, and more.
Darcy eventually realized she needed help from DedSec, and left a trail for them to find by storing information in her Eagle Drone for an Operative to download. After pulling a phone call between Darcy and Graham made recently, DedSec decided to track the Assassin down themselves. An Operative was able to establish communication with Darcy and she filled them in on the situation: her brother had been captured by the Templars and she couldn't rescue him alone.
Darcy agreed to meet with DedSec at Albion Station Kennington where her brother was being held. She requested that DedSec hack into the building's security to find her brother, then leave it to her to infiltrate and retrieve him. After hacking into the CTOS Hub there, DedSec gained access to a camera in an interview room where they witnessed a conversation between Lucas and Graham. Lucas confessed to giving up the location of the Tomb of the Assassins at Buckingham Palace, after which he succumbed to his injuries and died in the chair he was bound to.
Not letting her anger blind her, Darcy resolved to bring the fight to the Templars breaking into the Tomb at Buckingham Palace, and asked for DedSec's help in neutralizing the security team guarding the Tomb's entrance. An Operative took out the whole team and hacked the surveillance system within, buying time for Darcy to enter the Tomb and retrieve the artifacts inside ahead of the Templars. Darcy found her way in to the cave system the Tomb was constructed in. She came to the entryway, a large stone wall which could only be moved by aligning Isu symbols with their appropriate statues. She gained entry to the Tomb of the Assassins soon after.
Another door deeper in blocked the way to the secrets that the Tomb held, forcing Darcy to figure out a second puzzle. In the center of the Tomb, there was a monument to Jacob Frye, Evie Frye, and Edward Kenway. Each Assassin had their own symbol needing to be correctly aligned, however the correct ones were hidden throughout the larger area of the Tomb. With the help of her Eagle Drone, Darcy explored the adjacent chambers and eventually entered the correct combination. Upon doing so, the large, precursor door activated a navigational challenge for Darcy to complete in order to open the last door. After completing the challenge, the Assassin gained entry to the inner chamber. There she found her reward, the vaunted artifacts of the Tomb of the Assassins: an Assassin outfit of unknown origin with a Hidden Blade and Hidden Gun ready for use.
Just as she donned her new robes, however, high-ranking Templar and SIRS liaison Graham Westerly breached the tomb with a team to kill Darcy and claim the artifacts recovered by her. With her newly gained tools, Darcy assassinated all of the Templar guards between her and her target before assassinating Graham Westerly in the Tomb. Darcy trades a last few words with Graham in a memory corridor, where he mocked the inability of her Brotherhood to put up "a good fight" in protecting London and advised her to find "a new one" before dying. Darcy then left the Tomb. Darcy later reconnected with DedSec, telling them of her deeds in the Tomb. She decided to follow in her brother's footsteps and fight the Templar threat in London, but was reluctant to do so without allies like what her ancestors had. DedSec offered their aide to the Assassin, who takes it into consideration. Ultimately, Darcy agreed to ally with DedSec to take back the city from the remaining Templar infiltrators.

Message from Darcy #1[]
Darcy leaves a message for Lucas, telling him to stop his attempt to take London back from the Templars.
|
Audio Message from Darcy #1 |
|
Darcy: Lucas. It's been two days already. Enough of this. I can't stick my neck out looking for you. It's bad enough if you get yourself killed, but it's really selfish of you to drag me down with you. We can't take on the Templars, not even if everyone we've got left marched on London together. The Assassins aren't strong enough yet. You've always been so impatient. Just stop being so damn sneaky, will you? Let me find you. |
Message from Darcy #2[]
Another message Darcy leaves for Lucas, she tries to apologise for yelling at Lucas before he fled to London.
|
|
Audio Message from Darcy #2 |
|
Darcy: Lucas, I hope you find this. I'm sorry we fought so much the day you left. I'm still really cross with you for running off to London and making me come after you, but still, I'm sorry. You were just being so stupid, I couldn't get through to you. Being an Assassin is not about running headlong into things. We take our time, hide in the shadows, wait for the right opportunity to strike. I guess I should've explained all that better, without yelling. But you should know all this already! [sigh] This is supposed to be an apology. I'm sorry. Please, let's go home. |
Message from Darcy #3[]
Darcy tells Lucas not to blindly follow their ancestors who fought the Templars in London long ago. Darcy urges Lucas to exercise caution instead.
|
|
Audio Message from Darcy #3 |
|
Darcy: Lucas, I know you have this bright idea about how "our ancestors single-handedly saved London from the Templars before, so why can't we do it again", but there's more to the story, isn't there? They had a whole gang behind them. And help from another Assassin. Some of the most brilliant people ever born were their allies, and our ancestors still had a tough time fighting. We don't have anybody. Just the two of us. Not that I'm saying I'm helping you on this mad quest, but still, I've made my point. Our ancestors were nearly killed many times over. We could be killed just as easily. |
Message from Darcy #4[]
Darcy has had enough of searching for Lucas. She tells Lucas to go ahead and get killed. He's on his own.
|
|
Audio Message from Darcy #4 |
|
Darcy: You know what, Lucas? Fine. Get yourself killed. Let the Templars take you and do whatever they like. I've had enough of this. You're being so petulant! I am going to get out of this bloody city, regroup with the other Assassins, and we will reclaim London when the time is right. You're on your own now. Understand. You're on your own. |
Darcy backtracks on her last message and admits she's still looking for Lucas. Darcy worries the Assassins won't take either of them back for defying orders to stay out of London.
Message from Darcy #5[]
|
|
Audio Message from Darcy #5 |
|
Darcy: Hello, Lucas. All right, so obviously I haven't left London. Not yet, anyway. I was hoping you'd at least made things somewhat easier and come find me. Father was right, you're just as stubborn as he is. To be honest, I don't know if I can even go back, with or without you. We broke a deal made between the Assassins and the Templars. Just being in London is a death sentence. |
Message from Darcy #6[]
Darcy makes one last plea to Lucas to leave London while they still can. Darcy says she'll keep looking for him and hopes he'll come to his senses.
|
|
Audio Message from Darcy #6 |
|
Darcy: Will the Assassins take me back, with or without you? I don't know. Possibly. I just know I can't leave London without you. I don't want to. So I'll keep looking for you. Hopefully you find these messages and come to your senses and find me. We just need to leave, before we get into real trouble. |
Trivia[]
- The inclusion of Darcy into the Watch Dogs universe has officially ended a long-running argument in the communities for both franchises. The argument has been made since the first Watch Dogs that it and the Assassin's Creed games share a universe, but this has been confirmed to be false with the addition of this crossover.[1]
