"I've always known that in your heart, you were a scientist first, a Templar second."
―Alan Rikkin to Sofia, 2016.[src]

Sofia Rikkin (born 1980) is a scientist and the head of the Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center in Madrid. She is also the daughter of Alan Rikkin, the former CEO of Abstergo Industries and part of the Templar Order's Inner Sanctum, with whom she had a difficult relationship.

In December 2016, Sofia came into contact with Callum Lynch, a criminal whose Assassin ancestry was of interest to the company. During their time together the pair formed a connection but after Lynch's escape she dedicated herself to avenging her father's death at his hands. 

Biography

In 1984, Sofia's mother was killed by an Assassin when she was still a toddler. After achieving brilliant studies, Sofia followed in her father's footstep and joined the Templar Order.

In 2006, she discovered Layla Hassan, a college dropout, and recruited her into Abstergo's Young Innovators program. Promising her a place on the Animus Project, the two became close acquaintances, but cut ties from each other some years later. 

By 2014, she was put in charge of the Abstergo Foundation Rehabilitation Center in Madrid, where she studied violence and tried to find a cure for it. In 2016, she witnessed the death of her father at the hands of Callum Lynch.

Personality and characteristics

An idealist, Sofia believes she can better the world through her work at Abstergo[2] and seeks to eradicate humanity's violent impulses using science. In doing so, she hopes to create a more peaceful society.[3]
