Callum Lynch is a modern day descendant of the 15th century Spanish Assassin Aguilar de Nerha.
A criminal, Lynch was scheduled to be executed. However, the Templars had learned of his Assassin ancestry and faked his death so they could access de Nerha's memories during the Spanish Inquisition. They revived him the following day at an Abstergo facility for use in Animus experiments.
