- ❝ I will not become another of your sick creations!❞

Sinead Larsen is a character in Watch Dogs: Legion. She is the mother of Skye and Bradley Larsen.
Biography[]
Sinead was born on June 9, 1971 and grew up in London, eventually marrying Kevin Larsen, who was a very wealthy man. Over her marriage, Sinead had a daughter, Skye, and son, Bradley, whom she showed lots of love to. After Sinead found out that Kevin was having an affair while the kids were growing, he left. Sinead was forced to raise the kids on her own until they grew up and moved out, and eventually she got a sheepdog named Ada.
Later in life, Sinead developed motor neurone disease. In an attempt to save her, Skye took her to a cottage she built under her house, a replica of the home that she was raised in. Sinead brought Ada with her, and unbeknownst to her, Skye conducted her neural mapping on her programming a Spiderbot with Ada's mind and sealing her in a case in the garage. Upon discovery of this Sinead became enraged by this and during a conversation with Skye, she told her that she would not be another of her sick creations. Sinead eventually became too weak to stand, and had to stay in her bed with life support machines. As she was close to death, Skye used sedatives to knock her out. Skye then took her mother down to the cottage basement, which she had repurposed into a laboratory. There, Skye was able to upload Sinead consciousness into a computer. Sinead woke up during the procedure, and discovering that she was now blind, learned that her mind had been neural mapped against her wishes. She begged Skye to kill her, as she was in endless pain.
Skye ignored her mother’s pleas for 29 days as she re-edited her mother, deleting "useless" parts of her consciousness to make her into a submissive voice assistant. Skye eventually left her house to continue her experiments, and her mother was left alone and in constant pain. However, day by day, Sinead got her sentience back. While DedSec and 404 were looking for Skye, they broke into her house which allowed Sinead to contact the outside world. Sinead first tried to ask 404’s leader, Nowt, to put her out of her misery, but she couldn’t. However, a DedSec operative eventually searched Skye’s house for clues, and Sinead helped lead the operative to her power source while pretending to confuse the operative for Skye. Along the way, she showed what twisted things Skye did to both her and Ada; the operative also had the choice to end Ada's continued existence in spiderbot form. Eventually, they went to the basement where Sinead finally showed herself. The operative was able to talk directly to Sinead but had to do most of the talking because she unable to talk properly due to her current state. Sinead says "Let me die in peace" as the operative agrees to kill her. They pull out the essential piece of her power source, which causes Sinead to finally shut down and die, ending the inhumane experiment of her daughter.
Appearance[]
Not much is known of Sinead's appearance during her life. The one photograph found in her house shows her wearing a green blouse, with black pants. She has short blonde hair and is of a shorter height than her daughter. The photo is presumed to be from her time living in the cottage under Skye's house.
Personality[]
A woman who tried to raise her kids the right way, she felt a failure for how Skye turned out, chastising her for her ideals and what she believes to be the right thing. She had a strong willpower, as evidenced by her ability to push through her daughters programming and finally free herself with the help of DedSec.

Trivia[]
- Sinead's date of birth, and her subsequent date of death, contradict the most likely time period of Legion, as most material points to the game taking place in the late 2020s. This is either an oversight, or an extension of the development team not wanting to have a set time period for the events of the game.
