Sorkin is a member of Sigma Team, the paramilitary taskforce of Abstergo Industries. He serves as an unofficial right-hand man to the team's leader, Juhani Otso Berg, having accompanied him on numerous missions.
Biography[]
Sorkin was one of the few survivors of the original Sigma Team's raid on Florence, Italy in November 2012, which ended in the unit's decimation when the Italian Assassin Adriano Maestranzi bombed the safehouse with most of the team's operatives inside.[1] Although the team would reform not soon after, Master Templar Laetitia England later reassigned Sigma Team's agents to further the Phoenix Project rather than eliminate the remaining Assassins.[2]
In February 2014, Sigma Team was briefly reformed to hunt down the Assassins Harlan Cunningham and Arend Schut, who had stolen the Precursor box from an Abstergo storage facility in Rotterdam. Sorkin was tasked with leading the other operatives and going after after Schut, while Berg pursued Cunningham by himself.[3]
Tracking down his target, Sorkin engaged Schut in hand-to-hand combat and was quickly overpowered. The Assassin then used Sorkin as a shield from a sniper shot, before taking out several operatives and escaping. Although both targets eventually managed to get away, Sigma Team succeeded in recovering the stolen artifact, with Sorkin surviving the wound he had sustained.[3]
On October 13 that same year, Gavin Banks led Shaun Hastings and Galina Voronina in an attack which destroyed an Abstergo facility in Paris containing the original Shroud of Eden[4] and genetic samples from the body of the late Sage John Standish.[5] Sigma Team pursued the Assassins, but were outnumbered; Sorkin was stabbed seven times by Galina Voronina during the fray.[6] Nonetheless, Sorkin survived, as revealed in a conversation in early November between Violet da Costa and Berg, who were expecting an update about Sorkin's condition.[7]
