Hello Everyone

In a recent interview (link ), Jeffrey Yohalem, the lead writer for Brotherhood, Revelations' multiplayer and The Lost Archive DLC, stated that there is an inconsistency between Lucy's emails to William and Shau'n emails to William which suggests that they are not the same person. This was meant to indicate that Lucy's true loyalties were not to the Assassins.

I don't think that this inconsistency has been noted upon until now. Here is what I found:

27th of September 2012 William to Shaun "You'll be glad to know that everyone here is safe for the time being." -extract from email

6th of October 2012, 10.59pm William to Shaun "I'm still with the others...You'll be up with Desmond and I'm having trouble sleeping these days anyway....The unexpected heat of this European fall is killing me." -extract form email.

I think it's safe to say that he remained in the same place between these dates. And that it was somewhere in Europe. The Monteriggioni team are also in Europe, it is 11ish for Monteriggioni and William says it's quite late so the timezone is similar.

4th of October 2012, 8.00pm (whilst Shaun's William was in Europe) William to Lucy "Sorry about the slow reply, just got back from lunch." Who would have lunch that late? Someone in a different timezone. Therefore this William is not in Europe and is therefore a different William to the William Shau is speaking to who is the leader of the Assassins. Possibly...

He also says in that same email:

"We've analyzed the tapes you left for us" This coincides with the dialogue from The Lost Archive indicating that the Templars arrival at the Assassin hideout at the end of AC2 was planned by Vidic and Lucy so that Abstergo could track Desmond's progress through the Animus.

If I've overlooked anything or if anyone has any information which conflicts with this idea then I'd like to hear about it. It's nice to know that her betrayal was planned as far back as Brotherhood and wasn't just a last miute idea squeezed into Revelations.
