Numbskull

Profile + Bonus

Name: Amanda Caddel

Date Of Birth: 21 Dec 1989

Sex: F

Nationality: Canadian

Profession: Helix Analyst

Notes:
Amanda is one of the unsung heroes of Abstergo Entertainment. She was part of the small team that developed the last bits of the Helix system, polishing it so that it can be used safety in the offices. Even though her memory research did not become a product, she tirelessly searched through memories and gave us more insight into the happenings of the past.

-Clearance approved-

Amanda is the one of the Templars best agents. She prefers the sword and dagger combination that Shay favoured. There have been rumours of a promotion into the Sigma team for her — under the leadership of Berg where she will help to eradicate Assassins. Meanwhile, to keep up public pretence, she will continue to work on the Helix.

Surprisingly, she hasn't been diagnosed with the Bleeding Effect. One would think she would have contracted it long ago considering the amount of time she spent experimenting with the Helix system on herself, refusing to use subjects to aid her work. It's a miracle she's sane after messing with the Animus — a modification went wrong could have easily brought about her death.

Take note about talking to her about using human subjects to experiment on. Every single one of her experiments end up with her testing on herself. She is against such methods and we must change her view on that so as to not lose her when she receives more information on our development in Madrid.

Name: Amanda Caddel

DOB: 21 December 1989

Sex: F

Things to note:

Amanda is a Templar. Her loyalty to them is questionable (and vice versa). She sends intelligence over to the Assassins. Whether she is trustworthy is yet to be confirmed.

She has a sister, Isabelle Caddel, who is now with Gavin's crew. A stubborn woman just like Isabelle.

Amanda used the Animus system under the orders of Abstergo management to relive Shay Cormac's memories and therefore now has the bleeding effect. The Templars will definitely use her newfound skills to their advantage.

R. C. — Shaun is just being a little too paranoid on this. I understand where he comes from but everything Amanda has given us have been proven true. For now, we can trust her and use the information against the Templars when appropriate. We don't want to expose the fact that we have extra knowledge of things happening before the time is ripe.

Diana was stopped in her tracks by a voice calling out to her. "Hey, could you help us sort the new database entries for a sec?" Rebecca informed, "We're going on a supply run."

"Sure, I'll help."

A grin made its way to Rebecca's face, "Thanks. We won't have to hear Shaun complain about the food anymore—"

She was promptly cut off by Shaun, "You don't want to continue eating expired canned beans, do you? Hurry up."

Once they were out of earshot, Diana laughed fondly at their antics. Ever since she was allocated to work with these two a while ago — a team consisting of three as per usual standards — their bickering had grown on her. It usually consisted of ridiculously nonsensical things like whether you should put milk or cereal first. Nothing stopped Diana from secretly shipping them behind their backs.

She pulled over an abandoned chair from the corner of the room and sat on it, then began her work while the two were away. It wasn't hard, it was just to read through the entries and sort them by alphabetical order, time in the past if it applied and affiliations. Monotonous office work if anyone ever asked.

There were those that she skimmed through for a good laugh at Shaun's passive-aggressive tone and Rebecca's comments. Some others she read in-depth for more insight into a certain subject. Of course, she could always check the database for information but it never hurt to read a little more while doing it. She had almost finished sorting through and got up from the chair for a little stretch. They hadn't come back from their grocery run yet, probably went to get more items for Rebecca's tinkering.

After she got back to workimg on the databases, she came across a rather peculiar one. It wasn't a dead Assassin, or an important historical figure. It was about a citizen, inextricably tangled up in the war of Assassins and Templars.

Staring at the screen, a small gasp came out of her mouth. How could it be...? Amanda Caddel, a relatively reserved fresh-graduate who never really showed her stand in things. Someone who kept quiet at the mention of family — a missing sister, she revealed once. The missing sister being Isabelle, one if the best agents she'd heard rumours of.

Amanda, who experimented on herself so much that she eventually succumbed to the bleeding effect. Why did she join the Templars? Why did she even care to send information over to the Assassins? No matter what the answers to those questions were, Diana was grateful that Amanda hadn't become her outright enemy.

Still gaping at the screen, she didn't hear the footsteps that signified the duo's return.

"Why are you staring? Did the weird-looking anime boy finally kiss his boyfriend?"

Rebecca playfully slapped Shaun, "Hey! Don't spoil it for me. It's okay to be gay, you know."

"It's not accepted in society."

"We are not 'society'. 'Society' doesn't fight in this shadowy war we're engaged in. Think about it." Rebecca had a point. "Okay back to you, Diana. What did you see? Shaun's secret stash of weird files?"

An "I don't keep such things-" in the back was cut off by Diana's reply, "Databases." A nod from Shaun to elaborate. "Amanda Caddel, I saw her entry. I knew her."
