10 Video Game Reveals That Make You Wish You’d Given Up Instead
6. Lucy IS A Templar - Assassins Creed: Brotherhood
It had been established from the very first game in the series that there was a war between the Assassins and the Templars spanning centuries. Desmond, the reluctant assassin, was a prisoner of the Templars in their quest to find the Apples of Eden. But then we discover that lab assistant Lucy is actually on your side, as she helps you flee Abstergo at the end of the game.
Fast forward a few games and we find our gang at a temple and within reach of one of said Apples. This causes some mystical goings on, some exposition about the race of other beings behind all of it, right before Desmond stabs Lucy (well, Juno guiding Desmond stabs Lucy, at least).
That in itself was a pretty big twist, not diminishing that. We were all aghast, wide eyed and wondering why the hell this would have happened?!
Turns out, Lucy was a double-double agent. That's right, she was really a Templar all along!
...oh. Well, that just makes it alright then, does it?
